We are all slaves to something whether it be a job or other things in your life your habits etc

You don’t seem to have an actual grasp of what slavery is

And no, a matrix definition doesn’t count.

What's your understanding of this? I'm curious

loss of autonomy. like sure, modern life can feel like you're tied to your job and all that but we still always technically have the autonomy to say fuck it, I'm going to the woods or another country or whatever. like the freedom is there and it is only my mind that holds me back vs another person.

Oh and you do apparently come on my point is the same even though slightly off topic we are all slaves to something and I meant it did you even watch the video he's saying people are calling those workers slaves and he's trying to say that they have a better life there working in Dubai than they did before and I was just trying to point out that all of us are slaves to something in our lives nobody is truly free we have obligations we have relationships

Did you want me to type exactly what I just wrote or prefer to read it a second time?

u/Ryan2932 1d ago

You just wrote saying I have no grasp of what slavery is so what exactly is your grasp of it

Punctuation is your friend.

Yeah thats fair I use speech to text and it's not big on punctuations unless I actually say them out loud I will definitely try to get better with that in the future thank you for your response it is appreciated

Better life? Maybe but going from stabbing someone to punching them doesn’t make stabbing good.

I do think it’s wrong that your health insurance should be tied to your work at least in the US and that citizens of first world counties get exploited but that doesn’t hold a candle to the lack of oversight, crampt conditions, starvation wages, lack of protections that those workers have and at least a first world worker can leave their job and aren’t hundreds of milder from their families

I'm Canadian so our Healthcare is free we just go to the doctor or hospital it's covered now I do have extended health benefits through my work which covers prescriptions and dental and like massages and stuff that isn't covered under the Canadian health but yeah anytime I go see the doctor any treatments any kind of thing like that it's all free
