    Not OP, but I’ll give my two cents anyway (I like the sound of my own voice… Or I guess the look of my own text in this case)

    Why would I want your post deleted

    You came off a bit adversarial in the first comment. I would believe you meant to come off as curious, but unfortunately text doesn’t translate tone well.

    Why would you do it if I wanted you to

    Human decency. You could also block them, but that’s your perogative.

    But yeah please explain how you’re enslaved

    The US government does a lot of work to make sure slavery stays legal, they just don’t use that word. Private prisons are the most obvious example of this, but they’re also stripping freedoms and rights from individuals who have never been incarcerated. They make a show every now and then to make it seem like that that’s not what they’re doing, but if you really take a look at the policies that are getting pushed right now and have been pushed in the last few years, you’ll see it.

    I can’t remember which state it is, but at least one of them are trying to pseudo-reinstate Jim Crow laws or whatever it’s called when they restrict voting. Married women, older people and the disabled are being intentionally pushed away from polls by making the ID requirements stricter. And that’s one of the tamest examples I’ve seen lately

      imo all empires are built over the hunched, broken backs of many, many slaves. With any luck it might be robots in the future, i guess.
