- ceejayoz 8y agoThen we've diluted the term "slavery" enough that it's no longer usable in a reasonable discussion.
- thedaemon 8y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery Wage slavery is a very old term. Please do your research before making such bold statements.
- ceejayoz 8y agoIt's a very old term because labor conditions used to be a lot closer to actual slavery. It's a very silly thing to compare "I have to work a shitty job at Walmart to make rent" to actual slaves being raped, whipped, having their kids sold, etc. while working in the cotton fields until they died.
- tengbretson 8y agoIts a bizarre thing to see people feel the temptation to lump themselves in with the 30 million actual slaves in this world today just because they work retail.
