the work force is essential, no doubt, its full of boring mundane jobs that nobody dreams of doing at any point. but we still maintain the ability and opportunities to overcome these jobs. We can invest our money, we can start up our own business and eventually hire workers to do these jobs for us instead. Do you think a slave would have this chance? No fucking chance.
Your comparison is spitting in the face of history and displays your lack of understanding what an actual slave is.

Ofcourse the present workers have it alot better, especially in western countries - that's actually exactly the point im making. Slavery has evolved to where workers are now: A compromise for max results & least amount of resistance. Perks like days off and money are part of it. Cons like working for the majority of your life until you are too old to function properly (which is now 65 years old, here in 2023 it will be 67) are part of it as well. Eventually this age will be 70. Until you're 70 you have worked 70% of your life. So you can enjoy the fruits of this 70 year long struggle for a couple of years, until you get cancer and die. Healthy system for sure.
Im not 'spitting in the face of history', that conclusion has absolutely no link at all with anything i typed. I know you disagree with anything I say all the time, but please try to understand it, be open about it.
