Nol Malone ☭If you think the US is a Democracy, and not just a complicated form of slavery that benefits the few, you really aren't paying attention.
Andy Torbet@anolandria That’s a strong claim, but it oversimplifies a complex system. The U.S. is a democracy with real flaws—economic inequality, influence of capital—but calling it ‘slavery’ ignores both historical context and the mechanisms people still use to push for change
ts 🚇@darkmemer @anolandria if you take context into consideration then slavery remains widespread. In the Congo, from California to New Hampshire. The Epstein class is doing everything they can to coerce people into doing more for free
@darkmemer @anolandria *California is partly rhetorical, as I’ve heard that they rely on prison labor. New Hampshire has been true well into the 21st century here
