For the record, just in case it wasn’t blatantly obvious: I am AGAINST slavery

    Also slavery is on the table. It just has to be as punishment for a crime.

      It’s not even that anymore.

      I’m personally a slave. I have the choice between working or ending up homeless and starving. If I can’t work I’m told to go fuck myself and die.

      The only difference today is I don’t get whipped.

          Except then I’m not paying taxes and probably living on govt owned land which is illegal.

          You can’t own property you rent it from the govt. You can only grow your own food in certain designated areas. You can’t hunt on most govt property. You can’t cut random trees.

          If I did as you said and lived in the woods I’d be a felon.

          If you’re not making the govt money by paying taxes you’re imprisoned.

              Except that not only is leaving extremely expensive I have to prove to the other country I’m worth having as a citizen or else it’s called illegal immigration which, again, is illegal.
