Yes, these children are integrated into a system where we benefit from their child slavery. And our economic theology keeps many of us from seeing the situation simply. ("They're better off as child slaves! They should probably thank us!")
- golergka 11y agoAre you suggesting that "seeing the situation simply" is a good thing?
- calibraxis 11y agoOh yes. Like people here echo Rich Hickey's or Dijkstra's words on Simple Made Easy. (Rather than trap themselves in hairball codebases, gradually unable to move forward.) Like people who reject the complexity of epicycles, that desperate theological attempt to preserve Earth at the center of the solar system. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Cassini_apparent.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Cassini_...) People will tie themselves in complex masochistic knots, to justify the absurd conclusions of their religious beliefs ("the invisible hand!"). As we see here in this discussion of child fucking slavery.
