[...] that few people have even noticed that their government appears to already be initiating a system of off-shore, industrialized slavery.

... as opposed to the system of on-shore, industrialized slavery already in place for decades? AKA the prison-industrial complex? That legally and officially still is slavery, after all.

In a way, 97% of the workforce have been in slave like conditions for a long time.

If you quit, you lose health insurance. If you get fired you lose health insurance. Everything is outside of possible ownership. Home ownership is impossible. You can forget about buying land.

Consumerism is baked into our lives so we have less freedom to choose what we consume thanks to deeply studied psychology practices in marketing. The only way I have been able to reduce it is to eliminate my exposure to advertising on TV and Internet. But that's not enough.

Fuck, even physicians, averaging $250k/yr arent immune to this, it pales in comparison to hospital executives, bankers, financial institutions, etc. And they intend to make it harder still.

Prison labor is straight slavery. So many working people are probably a paycheck away from ending up on a path to prison.

And we have no time. It's work, chores, eat, clean, sleep. I guess outside of prison we can maybe arrange for a couple of hours of entertainment, while the rich can fuck off all day and collect more money in a week than we do in a year.

We've got to put our bodies upon the gears, upon the wheels. Pile upon the apparatus until it stops. Then we demand that until we are free, the machine will be prevented from working at all.

Thafuq you think the prison system is?

Return? The prison system has been around for plenty long enough before this.

Well they're definitely trying to reduce the rights and quality of life of the working class, no doubt about that.

they already openly engage in slavery

And they want you to breed more slaves for them. That's why they get so unhinged about LGBTQ, childless cat ladies, growing popularity of childfree, and explains the recent surge in "we are actually underpopulated" bullshit propaganda.

Fun fact! The Constitutional amendment that outlawed slavery also made it legal.

The return of? It's been back for ages. You just called it the US prison system.

I enthusiastically convinced my 5 years old that a strawberry picking carreer will be awesome. "You get to eat all you want, as you pick, I promised her". I did not mention beatings from prison guards for such infractions, but if I deliver her to prison system, I am told MAGA will give me a $1000 cheque, that I can endorse to my favorite Trump charity. My fear though, is that her enthusiasm from strawberries will wane after puberty, and so deliquency and truancy must be her path into prison pipeline. I hope I can deduct any fines from her behaviour from my reward cheque.

I dont want to live on this planet anymore...

but this time it will be diverse and ppl of any color or religion can be slaves. kids will work night shifts before school and everything will be florida.

return implies there was a time in america when slavery stopped existing

Honestly if someone tried flying a 747 into a US government building today, I think we would have a very different reaction than the last time they tried it.

Why do you think they keep saying MAGA, slavery was when America was great to them.

Never left the US, just added more steps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_labor_in_the_United_States

Prisons since the end of legal slavery

Isn't slavery still normal in the Emirates?
