    Sure, it’s fucked up. But slavery isn’t “when your income disappears into your employers’ pockets.”

          That’s quite a strawman

          Or maybe a red herring I get them all mixed up

          I’m down for beating down the strawman if you have a pitchfork I can borrow

            That’s quite a strawman

            That’s the literal fucking implication of the definition YOU offered.

              Ummmm… no

              The implication is such a distraction to the topic to make me laugh.

              Wage slavery is a thing. It’s a word. People know what it means. It’s a simple concept. It’s well known and used often. It’s in the dictionary. Google Translate can translate it into different languages and people will understand what it means.

              If you don’t know what it means, you’re one of the few

                You offered a definition of slavery that you, presumably, meant to be coherent and meaningful.

                I pointed out that the definition was so broad as to be incoherent.

                I’m sorry that you don’t have enough intellectual honesty to even own up to your own points even when they’re fucking written down for everyone to see. I hope you get better - but I know cretins like you rarely do.

      Again, you fail to underatand what “effectively” means.

      Why are you so hellbent on defending modern “slavery”!?
