The return of? It’s been back for ages. You just called it the US prison system.
It never left. The abolition of slavery never once included prisoners.
they already openly engage in slavery
That is a horrifying image.
And they want you to breed more slaves for them. That’s why they get so unhinged about LGBTQ, childless cat ladies, growing popularity of childfree, and explains the recent surge in “we are actually underpopulated” bullshit propaganda.
Anti abortion and anti-anti conception are a big one too…
These people are so hungry for power and money they gladly throw away their humanity for it.
There is no reason to believe they deserve anything at all. Not even rights as they don’t think anyone else should have them either.
I had a trumper sitting next to me on a flight tell me i need to have kids to do my duty for the economy and i told him to fuck off
Return? The prison system has been around for plenty long enough before this.
Real, no fucking around, no extra steps, no ACLU suing the state for legal violations slavery.
It’s a primary goal of right wing “libertarian” “thinkers” and the Heritage Foundation as a result. They won’t even need to change the Constitution, they’ll just say crimes against the state are punished by slavery now.
They’re going to push it somewhere, the Supreme Court will expedite it, and the “originalists” will nod their fascist little heads and say “yep, says it’s fine right there.”
And the problem will be that it does.
In that regard it never left
Return as in to what it was before
Shocking that the rich white dude and the other rich white dude from South Africa want to bring back slavery (Which by the way is still happening in the US. It’s just less about race, supposedly, and more about crimes.)
Hey, Elon Musk isn’t rascist, he had black servants as a kid, you know!
“Some of my best servants are black!”
Crimes that we make up on the spot and only enforce against certain ppl. Hell, this very post might send me picking cotton when the Reich reaches me
return implies there was a time in america when slavery stopped existing
Why do you think they keep saying MAGA, slavery was when America was great to them.
Fun fact! The Constitutional amendment that outlawed slavery also made it legal.

I enthusiastically convinced my 5 years old that a strawberry picking carreer will be awesome. “You get to eat all you want, as you pick, I promised her”. I did not mention beatings from prison guards for such infractions, but if I deliver her to prison system, I am told MAGA will give me a $1000 cheque, that I can endorse to my favorite Trump charity. My fear though, is that her enthusiasm from strawberries will wane after puberty, and so deliquency and truancy must be her path into prison pipeline. I hope I can deduct any fines from her behaviour from my reward cheque.
Honestly if someone tried flying a 747 into a US government building today, I think we would have a very different reaction than the last time they tried it.
The conversation would be less “why did this happen” and more “which, of the thousands of possilities, did this.”
And it’s only because it’s happening to Americans and 1st world nations. Otherwise we would still have the out of site out of mind mentality while people die.
but this time it will be diverse and ppl of any color or religion can be slaves. kids will work night shifts before school and everything will be florida.
Never left the US, just added more steps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_labor_in_the_United_States
They’re called “inmates”, not “slaves”. But the effect is the same functionally.
Prisons since the end of legal slavery
