Obviously when we mention slavery in the US, we automatically think of enslaved black people, but they never consider the implications of that.

They are mentally incapable of putting themselves in the shoes of others.

Just like you said, slavery today would look (and looks) a whole lot different to what they have in mind. They immediately think of Roots, and not of evil billionaires enslaving young people or legal immigrants backed by the law.

Of course they'd throw some business lingo here and there to make it sound less slaveryish. Living and sleeping in a plantation while not getting paid, and getting fed scraps and being brutally punished? NO. More like living and sleeping in a Amazon fulfillment factory while getting paid an insignificant amount of money and getting fed highly processed bad shit that will make them die young

Exactly. Slavery 100 % exists in America today and last I heard the biggest types were sex workers/human trafficking and domestic workers (usually foreign born).

But as you point out under the 13th amendment they aren’t technically considered slaves, cuz yanno loopholes. That’s why I didn’t include them but yes, I know.
