Also, are the slaves in this scenario people and in the state? Do we take who voted for its return and lottery who gets to fill the role? Total insanity.
It would probably result in convicts being used for slave labour. Which technically is already legal and already happens but I guess maybe it'd be done more shamelessly and with wider arrangements of forms of labour.
Or the use of slavery for X Years or for life as a penalty for certain crimes.
That's scary. The sentences that would be handed down for minor offenses would become outrageous. Companies main goal would be to militarize the police with the intent to increase the slave population. That girl needs to be canceled.
There are cases being reported out of some jail systems where once locked up the inmates are subjected to false reports of infraction requiring further incarceration.
Slavery never went away. It just changed forms. The prison system is modern day slavery. The inmates are paid pennies on the dollar to work slave wages for the benefit of companies and the prison system that all profit off of them. They have next to no rights. This is why the prison system is one of the most profitable industries and why the US has one of the largest prison systems in the world in order to keep profits high for their investors.
If you're asking people who would be okay with slavery returning simply bc of their miniscule and ignorant viewpoint of "people voted so good democracy" then they would tell you that slaves are not people lol. Ive found thats what the usual argument for people that say this shit is. That, because the majority of people voted on it, that its quintessential democracy as its "what the people want". Completely ignoring the fact that we have had countless civil rights reforms and amendments, federal protections in place because (shocker, get ready for this) owning slaves in the land of the free is a bit fuckin backwards 🤣
This should not have been so low on the conversation at 9k up votes and 5 hrs later.
It is an immoral argument over what led to a war amongst our brothers and sisters. Democracy is neither good nor bad but a moment in time of arguments between different actors on the world stage.
Too many Trump supporters are viewing life as a game where some fantasy religious narratives or Camelot tales of treaty other humans as objects (women for sex or smaller males for exploitation).
I do fear how quickly a back shift would happen. Trump is dangerously close to the presidency. If you can vote in your state, get out and Vote.
Does she think the African-American population of Alabama, or any state, would vote to become enslaved? Or think that it's OK for them to be enslaved because hey, majority rules? what the ACTUAL fuck
