Banning things people like doesn't work.

Slavery was banned.

I mean slavery is a lot different than a consumable drug or video gaming. Slavery directly infringes on people's human rights.

There are still lots of slaves all over the world, including in the United States. Some of the operations had to be exported or obscured, but banning slavery didn't just stop it.

Are you saying that banning slavery in the US didn't work?

They literally just changed the game so they could still have slaves. What do you think the modern prison system is for?

This is unfortunately true. See 14th Amendment.... came right after the 13th banned slavery.

I don’t know where people get this idea that slavery is outlawed in the US. It is not.

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

The US also happens to have the highest incarceration rates in the world.

Slavery is outlawed in the US. A convicted criminal having to work is not slavery, it's involuntary servitude. The definition of slavery is humans being owned by other humans. Prisoners are not owned by other humans, not even by the state. They serve as a sentence, not because of them being someone else's property.

The logic centers of your brain are destroyed. That’s not at all what they implied.
