People tell me all the time I shouldn’t say we are all wage slaves. Even though most people work their whole lives away for poverty wages. Which is the literal definition of wage slavery..
Seriously how is working 9-5 for decades not a form of slavery?
No one is saying we are chains and our bosses own us. But there are definitely similarities.
Frederick Douglass said that wage slavery was only slightly less horrific after he was emancipated.
Why does this fact of life offend so many people?
Maybe I’m just too far left even for antiwork
