This is only maybe true (things are changing fast, and mostly for the worse), and only if you define slavery in the worst way, i.e. chattel.
I've met people who have spent time in prison, given little option but to labor for pennies a day. Not hard to find at all. Slavery isn't even forbidden in the U.S. Many others arguably fit the definition of wage slave. I myself feel compelled to sell my labor, what are my options?
Not sure exactly what you mean by this, but assuming you're providing a counter example, a single instance of something doesn't demonstrate that it is the only way a situation can play out.
Yes if you redefine words you usually can get whatever result you want. Clearly being a middle manager at Target should be described by the same word as pre civil war hell on earth that was the South and Dutch diamond mines. That makes sense.
Btw I have redefined not agreeing with me as murder so unless you want to be a murderer...
I used no uncommon or unaccepted definitions of any word.
I'm sure you identify as a helicopter also.
Don't call me a terf
I'm not, it was an apparently bad joke in response to your joke implying I'm a murderer, after arbitrarily defining murder.
