Here, all the slavery one can defeat. Tolerated by a culture with 2 billion heads. And it is utterly ignored for whatever hipocritical reasons. Same in China, were the lower classes from the village will be treated like owned air by the rich cityzens. All beneath a thin layer of western mimicry.Yet, im supposed to ignore the living, for what was back then a battle for the living and is today a civil war flag, for the western cultural block, the only block that marched with sic sempre tyrannis on the barbary cost and fought to better itself. The wingnuttery has to end, reality has to be embraced and the atrocities in it fought. Wherever they are.
I recommend donating to the ImJ who help find and free slaves, prosecute abusers, and educate and help the victims thrive in their freedom
>You really have to live in a self righteous echo chamber to assume that all the people you want to join your cause should already know about it.
Just to confirm, is "you" referring to me or is it more like you're pointing your finger at the world in general?
The statement "Who doesn't think about it" implies everyone should already know about it. I literally never once thought there'd be many modern slaves let alone more than ever before.
I'm glad I do know that now though. A lot of good ideas or causes die on the incorrect assumption of obviousness that is just kind of assumed by the "aware" groups.
I found this highly unlikely considering your education and resume. You clarified in this reply that it was the amount.
However, I don't think you were being manipulative. You're education, papers, past comments, and twitter comments come off as an intellectual nerd.
I thought you were doing a whataboutism combined with the "wide eyed naive" character technique. I'm sorry.
This really is the key: the manner reveals the motivation and morality is about motivations, which makes it understandable why slavery existed in the ancient world.
Suppose your country is invaded by a belligerent neighbour one summer and you manage to fend off the attack and capture most of the enemy soldiers.
What do you do with them afterwards:
(1) let them go, (2) kill them, (3) cut off their right thumbs and release them, (4) make them your slaves?
The obvious problem with (1) is that if you let them go they may return next year and succeed in the job of murdering you and destroying your nation or tribe. (2) and (3) are fairly cruel and barbaric.
Which leaves (4).
EDIT: I think the real cause behind slavery is not and has never been "controlling war prisoners". It's personal profit. War raids between small tribes to capture "wives" from outside their local gene pool is one such, well-document example.
Sad the heros we choose instead.
Or the gigantic, seemingly meaningless URL.
I don't know what this page is, but it doesn't seem to exist in any kind of context of a larger website. How did anybody even find this in the first place?
You're saying this page seems inaccessible: how did anyone find this page? How is a person meant to access this stranded corner of the web?
They're saying this page has good accessibility: those with impaired vision, who use text to speech tools and the like, would not face difficulty with this simple HTML.
That's like giving a product on Amazon one star in a review because you don't like the vendor's SKU code.
