        Not slavery? Don’t be obtuse. That same commodification via containment is only a part of the greater system of human labor as livestock — which also includes slavery, TBF. Splitting those hairs is either naive or apologetic, and the stark reality of it all DGAF if you understand that. Hell, they’re counting on it.

      The private prison system is still bad and getting worse under Trump, but thats not what this is. This is sending people en masse to labor camps.

        That’s not slavery, that’s genocide. Use the correct words, fellow citizens. Not that it’ll matter. Your new tattoo is on its way, don’t worry. We’re all complicit in this, to different degrees, and no one gets out alive. 🥰
