It's silly for anyone to treat a person who is newly-interested in an important issue as ignorant for not knowing about that issue, as it would alienate a potential new supporter.
The statement "Who doesn't think about it" implies everyone should already know about it. I literally never once thought there'd be many modern slaves let alone more than ever before.
I'm glad I do know that now though. A lot of good ideas or causes die on the incorrect assumption of obviousness that is just kind of assumed by the "aware" groups.

- Braxton1980 1y agoI read this as "Modern slavery was not on my radar until reading this thread. " as you didn't know modern day slavery didn't exist. I found this highly unlikely considering your education and resume. You clarified in this reply that it was the amount. However, I don't think you were being manipulative. You're education, papers, past comments, and twitter comments come off as an intellectual nerd. I thought you were doing a whataboutism combined with the "wide eyed naive" character technique. I'm sorry.
