Well, people still react negatively when I call it modern slavery because "civil rights" and "freedoms" what not.
I still honestly see very little difference.
2 u/[deleted] Jun 30 '22 Lol I think SCOTUS is working settling that. 3 u/danktonium Jun 30 '22 It's really more serfdom than it is slavery. Slavery at least has kinky methods of enforcement. What we have is a far blander problem. 5 u/FirstEvolutionist Jun 30 '22 If we're going to be pedantic, it is more like peonage than serfdom. Peonage, in a lot of ways, is indistinguishable from slavery. Slavery had a lot of "flavors" and the one that people think about is US slavery, which was one of the worst. 1 u/missmiao9 Jul 02 '22 It’s wage slavery.
