    Fuck off, if you’re going to continue to deny reality I’m not going to bother reading your drivel. We’re done here.

      slavery is illegal in America. I will continue to beat this objective fact into you until you admit that it is true.

        Slavery is baked into your constitution, and the majority of states continue to use slave labor to this day. Are you fucking mental?

          You are incorrect. Slavery is not baked into the Constitution. I’ve already addressed that point.

          No state uses slave labor in the way you’re implying. Once again, you’re making blanket statements that intentionally ignore important legal and factual distinctions in order to support your narrative. You also present your interpretation as though it’s the only credible one, when it clearly isn’t.

            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.

              Yes. Correct. They particular clauses heavily debated if it actually cost you slavery or what not.

              Most countries on Earth use some kind of prison labor to some capacity.

              In the United States almost all prison labor is voluntary a very few prisoners are forced into it and they are compensated to some degree.

              So even with the exclusion clause in the 13th amendment, antebellum style Shadow slavery does not exist in this country.
