we definitely still have slavery in America. Like, in America. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of companies that outsource their slavery to other countries and then ship the product here so we can pretend it’s not made by slaves, but plenty of companies skip the middle man and just use slaves here
It’s laughable, really. A country where one person could go to work while the other one could stay at home and still afford a house and a car at least.
American citizens got reamed by megacorps and some even enjoy it.
Okay hate on capitalism, fair enough
But equating it to literal slavery like we’ve had in the past (and still have in some parts of the world) seems problematic to me

What literal slavery? The pyramids weren’t built with slave labor.
There’s a dude with a whip in the picture, so it seems like the artist believes it was slave labor
It’s a common misconception.
Having 100% exclusive rights over the fruits of a person’s labor, so, a job.
Ever applied for a mortgage?
But they don’t. I can end this arrangement at any point in time.
Yes, and I can’t remember anyone forcing me to buy this specific apartment, or preventing me from selling it and moving anywhere else.
Regardless, my point wasn’t that work isn’t slavery, my point is that the pyramids weren’t built with slave labor.
Never mind the foreign interest campaigns to get Americans to be less productive
