Where is the line between that and plain slavery?
- DoneWithAllThat 1y agoSlaves are not paid wages. There’s no need to resort to hyperbole here, the practices are abhorrent enough without it.
- zdragnar 1y agoIndentured service is often colloquially conflated with slavery, as the legal protections are removed and so too usually the freedom of association.
- f1shy 1y agoWhere is the hyperbole? Is a question: where is the line to start calling it slavery. Obviously, for you far. Not for me. If we want to go the pedantry way, this is the definition I found: “a condition of having to work very hard without proper remuneration or appreciation.” Emphasis in proper mine.
