While there has been so many pushes like this to remove the words of slavery from our consciousness, it's important to be conscious of the fact that there are more people living in slavery right now than ever before in history.
- manjalyc 6y agoWell that’s interesting, but could easily be do to an explosion of population. Anyone have historical per capita numbers? They seem to be hard to find.
- banads 6y agoDifficult to find such data, but population explosion surely helped scale up the absolute numbers. Nevertheless, a lower rate of slavery per capita should still not suffice as a satisfactory excuse for us to ignore the uncomfortable present realities of the tens of millions of people currently living as slaves.
- manjalyc 6y agoCompletely agree, my issue is only with the presentation of data while not providing context for it which I feel is disingenuous in an argument that has no need to be disingenuous.
