Once again, the guy is saying he’d rather see these people in prison doing penal labor than experience the homelessness crisis. That’s exactly what he said

Idk what other explanation or excuse needs to be made

no i think he's saying he'd rather see them in custody somewhere.

rlly dont think he's asking for penal labor specifically. im pretty sure the penal labor/slavery angle was entirely brought up by you, right? and you did that to make him look like an evil b******, right?

I used the word slavery and they responded with that word in mind rather than any sort of clarification

If it was anything other than slavery then they would have had the mind to correct the term

or maybe they didn't take the time to correct u bc who tf is pro slavery lol

u have to acknowledge u were debatelording w that sht

Out of 1.2 million incarcerated Americans, 800,000 are penal laborers

Those in Arkansas, Georgia, and Texas earn no wages for their work, and the most earned is 2.50/hr before deductions.

Companies that use penal labor include Whole Foods, McDonald's, Target, IBM, Texas Instruments, Boeing, Nordstrom, Intel, Wal-Mart, Victoria's Secret, Aramark, AT&T, BP, Starbucks, Microsoft, Nike, Honda, Macy's and Sprint, AMONG OTHERS

Private prisons in total earn nearly $4bn a year in profits, not counting labor and business-based profits.

Prison laborers work as firefighters (esp in California wildfire seasons), furniture assemblers for the federal governments, and major military equipment.

This includes belts, camouflage battle-dress uniforms, lighting systems, sandbags, blankets, night vision eyewear, chemical gas detection devices and bomb components. Even after the September 11 attacks, prisoners took a role in relief work, their labor supplying virtually all the protective goggles worn by recovery staff at the New York and Pentagon sites. they produce a majority of the ammunition and helmets of the military as well.

This is all overseen by the Federal Prison Industries, a state owned corporation by which, under US federal law, all physically abled inmates who are not a security risk or have a health exception are required to work, either for FPI or at some other prison job.

I asked if he was pro slavery, he said not, but it was better than dealing with homeless people

Once again, even if he wasn’t explicitly pro slavery, he said it was a better solution than dealing with homeless people

That sort of stance doesn’t need clarification or whatever defense you’re trying to make of it

again pretty sure dude just meant detainment was better than what was in the clip. i just don't think he cared enough to make explicitly clear he isn't pro slavery.

u should ask him tho fr. in no uncertain terms.

Bro I asked it in the clearest terms and he gave it in the clearest answer. Idgaf about any “benefit of the doubt” s***

It’s very easy to type the right thing vs say the right thing when there’s nuanced language. He saw slavery and still said it was a preferred option. I don’t need to hear more

Idk why you’re on someone’s d*** when they’re advocating for the penal slavery option

@Guapo_ what's worse, homeless ppl at bus stop or slavery?

Why are you all over me for being a “debate lord” but then are running cover for someone who said they prefer slavery a week ago lol terminally online s***

bc i always see u debatelording trynna show us how everyone on here is morally inferior to u and it pisses me off after 5 yrs of using this site

and seriously fam i know u pulled a gotcha but do u actually genuinely believe that guy is pro slavery

I literally have no clue who you are and you complain that I’m being morally pretentious as you have always observed from your random ass account when I’m talking with a user who prefers slavery to homelessness

You need to go touch grass bro

i love the grass. u need to touch a human heart. u gotta see a mother cry. u gotta break out of the symbolic order and experience the Real.

there's all these people living today and they're all real people too but all u care abt is politricks and proving others are worse than u

aight bro you got it

i love u man don't let ur head kill ur heart

This isn’t forced labor though is it?

Don’t get me wrong, any prisoner working should be paid at least minimum wage but aren’t prison jobs volunteer/sign-up based?

Able-bodied workers are required to work under federal Title XXIX, §2905 of the Crime Control Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-647), and earn no wages for that in three states

They earn nowhere more than $2 an hour anywhere
