I'm sceptical of this data, given that America still has legal slavery.


It's not legal slavery, it's community service.

It's legal slavery. You specifically put an exception in your abolition of slavery to permit the use of convicts as slave labour.

Nobody owns them though. So it's not slavery. Am I enslaved because I have to take time out of my day to do my taxes Every year? I'd certainly prefer not to.

There are actual slaves in the US. 100K to 400K of them. Held in captivity and forced to work, usually as sex workers.

But to you they're not really slaves, because legally they're not owned ... right?

Is this another technicality that you've invented yourself? Like when you pretended that "American" believes holding certain political beliefs or that "Marxism" means being a descendant of Karl Marx?

It's not legal slavery, it's community service.

Community service is a specific type of punishment, while prison and forced, involuntary and within a rounding error of unpaid labour isn't even a specific punishment, but rather abuse of an exemption in the emancipation amendment. It's not chattel slavery and they're not bought and sold (Though with private prisons, that point could be argued) but it's still slavery.
I'm not sure how this is related to Reddit banning both left- and right-wing subreddits, or how according to the OP Reddit is now a perfect good because it has done a reverse Hitler, though.

Edit: Freudian slips are dumb.

... No. It's the literal definition of slave. A person owned by someone else. Prisoners aren't owned, so they aren't slaves.

Also, Yes, being American requires you not despise and wish destruction upon America. And you seem to have utterly misunderstood (likely deliberately so) what I said about Marx.

Where does the 13th Amendment say that?

If Reddit wants to ban hate speech, it would ban the biggest hate subreddit on the website, r/politics
r/politics wrote:I just hope the people who were on that bridge were redneck Republicans like you so the slaughter was justified.

"I'm going to say something unpopular here. When I heard that someone had shot Republicans, my first immediate hope was that someone finally did something about McConnel"

"Guerilla warfare and we control and know major metro areas. That and the fact that everyone has a family." "It would be brutal, bloody and we would have to commit war crimes but that's how it would have to be done." "I'm okay with forced re-education camps for Trump supporters. They'll still get treated better than the kids in the child detention centers"

"Let's put arsenic in drinks and slip it to Trump supporters" "All gun owners should have their guns taken away from them and then be executed"

"That is correct. The shooter is a true patriot". "Hunting Season for the Despicable Republicans on The Hill is now OPEN!!!! No Licenses required, no Minimums ... so Hunters, Bag All You Want!!!!!"

"What else can be done?", "Going to the homes of Republican lawmakers in the middle of the night, dragging them into the street, and turning them into tree ornaments"

"Good for you Americans that see these scumbags (democrat and republican) and call them on their bullshit. Go ahead, doxx the fuck out of them. Make them feel uncomfortable in their own homes. Make them feel threatened and insecure. Might just make them think twice about serving the people instead of fucking the people."

"I really hate myself for feeling this way, but I sort of wish someone had shot a bunch of GOP Senators to change the math on the vote."

"Jesus fucking Christ. My wishes for how we punish the GOP have gotten very dark."

"I hope the next maga meeting results in a mass shooting."

"How do you be civil with someone who actively denies the existence of a well-proven and already-occurring planetary environmental catastrophe? With a rope and a tall tree?"

Are the people in China who make MAGAhats slaves ? They are required to shop at their employers shops, live in houses owned by their employers and earn less than those facilities costs, meaning their children are required to also work for the employer.

Tearing down statues is not the same thing as a private business makeing a decision on what they want to provide to it's customers.

Nuke the echo chambers. There all toxic and need to go. It is the will of the free market after all.
