    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.

    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.

    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.)

    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.

      They’re called “inmates”, not “slaves”. But the effect is the same functionally.
