That’s… I’m speechless. I tought it was idiotic when it “just” suggested that workers beg to work more. It had a brazen “abuse and ridicule working people” spin on it. But it not about economic slavery… It’s about the acctuall slavery? That is… we need a word for idiotic and evil and the same time.
Chattel slavery is illegal. It’s true that you can be enslaved, or at least enslaved in all but name and forced to work, as punishment for a crime. I.e. as part of your incarceration. This is per the 13th amendment.
I’m not enough of a legal eagle to explain what would happen or what your recourse would (or would not) be if you refused, though.
‘Best’ case scenario for refusing to be a prisoner slave is you would lose all “privileges”.
No yard time, probably placed into solitary. No commissary access - so things like soap and toothpaste would be withheld.
Food is also restricted to “basics” along the lines of bread and water.
Of course the reality is they will straight up torture you for not playing by their rules. Aka complete withholding of food and interaction and cleanliness as they either ‘forget’ you in solitary or just have an ‘accident’ with you.
What do you mean?
He posted it on Juneteenth, i.e. the federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery.
