im not gonna write a whole thinkpiece about this bc im not black and i dont think i could adequately express the pain this must cause but. people need to stop using slavery as a metaphor for shitty jobs. if you search the term, it becomes apparent how often people are doing this here.
„this is modern day slavery“ in reference to a shitty job when actual modern day slavery exists
„slavery was never abolished“ in reference to a shitty job and not to the prison industrial complex
„wage slave“ just stop
slavery is not a synonym for working without pay or bad work conditions. these comparisons minimize the historical significance of slavery. for the same reason holocaust comparisons are unacceptable.
