Religious people do it all the time in defense of the bible! See LITERALLY ANY apologist when speaking about Leviticus. "It's not CHATTEL SLAVERY like in America. It's the better version of slavery!"
Hym "Is it minimizing slavery to say that I work for little more than food and housing? I spend all my money on food, AT THE PLACE I WORK and am essentially working for free because they have effectively outsourced the feeding and the housing OF me to ME and the benefits and security and personal agency I'm SUPPOSED TO HAVE under the auspices of 'Freedom' are not a thing that exist for me. I am LITERALLY in a situation from which I either need to escape from or endure."
I-dot "You're undermining slavery in America!"

Hym "Nothing I'm saying has any effect on historical American slavery! It happened. Neither of use were there. BOTH OF USE ARE HERE NOW AND WE BOTH BENEFIT FROM THE REMEDIATION OF THE THING I'M TALKING ABOUT! You motherfuckers need to USE YOUR OWN SHIT-BRAINS to contextualize the things I say so I don't have to keep doing it for you! Not everyone has the problem you're having. Have you heard the term 'wage slave?' You're argument is literally 'Talking about implicit bonded slavery (in that I have to give myself to a business owner (regardless of my quality of life or needs) to pay off the perpetual debt that accrues by nature of existing) undermines chattel slavery' WRONG! Both can be bad! You don't have a monopoly on things that are bad! And it's the REGARDLESS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND NEEDS PART that makes it akin to slavery. Bonded slavery and NOT the one that I'M NOT FUCKING TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW! JESUS CHRIST! DO YOU WANT A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE WORKING CLASS OR NO!? JESUS!"
I-dot "Then get a different job!"
Hym "THAT'S 'ESCAPING' FUCK-FACE! YOU'RE TELLING ME TO ESCAPE THE THING I'M TALKING ABOUT AND THEN SAYING I'M MINIMIZING SLAVERY! OHMYGOD YOU ALL FRUSTRATE ME!"
