dkga | on: Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs
Into institutionalised slavery. Sadly slavery still exists, is live and well, and occurs throughout the planet (even rich countries). The difference is that it is not statutory now in most places.

Slavery is at an all-time high going back thousands of years

2 million institutionalized slaves (per 13th amendment) in the US today, around the same as 1830 USA

50 million worldwide as of a few years ago

The 13th amendment allows for slavery as a punishment for crimes. It does not require that everyone in prison be a slave.

Are you actually claiming that everyone in a US prison is a slave?
