    I mean, to be fair, slavery is slavery whether there’s a “good reason” or not

      You generally don’t get paid for being a slave, nor recover your freedom after the crisis has passed.

        Recover your freedom? So you’re not free and are forced to work? Sounds like textbook slavery, to me. Indentured servitude is still slavery

          You are forced to go to school, you are forced to work to earn your life. Are those slavery too?

            There a huge difference between parents making a child do something, with basically no legal repercussions if they don’t, and the government forcing an adult to do something against their will at the threat of prison.

              They are all restricting your freedom because there’s a consensus that it helps the group in general.

                School doesn’t kill you. I don’t even qualify for the draft anymore and I know it’s fucking vile.

                    🙄

                    You got that out of your system, now? Great, can we actually have a conversation like adults, now?
