The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Damn I thought private prisons were a loophole and not in the constitution to punish people with slave labor.
Since the days the first settlers landed here, the backbone of the US economy has been forced labor. It's only natural that we would enshrine it in our constitution.
So what...?
Not everybody is living in the "default country" and also, with the US we see how well it all works for them and how slavery is not a thing there at all.
"So what?" Unbelievable. You get told Amerika is still a nation of chattel slavery and all you can say about it is 'so what'? That's my community, my people they're bundling off into modern-day slavery, day by day by fucking day where they're not chalking us out on the fuckin asphalt, and all you can say is 'so what'.
I hope your mf country collapses. Return to the fuckin dirt with you.
Wow, you said you didn't know which country had legalized slavery, and I answered and you turned into an obstinate asshole for some reason. What a weird way to behave!
E: ah, wait, German. That makes sense.
