  slavery is illegal in America. I will continue to beat this objective fact into you until you admit that it is true.

    Slavery is baked into your constitution, and the majority of states continue to use slave labor to this day. Are you fucking mental?

      Exactly. You keep making the same assertion over and over, then acting surprised when I don’t agree with you.

      No state in the United States uses slave labor in any way. If you’re alluding to the exception clause in the 13th Amendment, I’ve already explained why I don’t consider that equivalent to the antebellum system of chattel slavery. I’ve also pointed out that there is significant debate over whether that clause constitutes “slavery” at all, and that incarcerated people retain numerous constitutional rights despite being imprisoned.

      Are you going to concede this objectively verifiable fact, or are you going to continue acting surprised that I reject the claim that slavery exists in the United States?

        Im not reading something written by someone who doesn’t share objective reality with the rest of us. Thanks for wasting your time though!
