Exactly! My ancestors didnt pay for slavery, they just wanted cotton. Everyone need cotton, right? I mean they wouldve harvested the cotton themselves, but it was way cheaper from neighboring farmers for whatever reason. That didnt concern them though, they had enough prpblems!
comparing slaves to animals is what slavers do
Please dont twist my words. I didnt compare anything. And if I did, I would have compared animal cruelty with slavery (both as unethical acts), not animals with slaves (the recipients of cruelty).
anyone can see what you said
Exactly. Thats why I am telling you to stop strawmanning.
I haven't done that
anyone can see what you said
so they'll know who is right.
"slaves are the same as animals" famously an argument made by good people whos opinions we should listen too
Good point, but I never said they were the same, nor did I compare them. I just made an argument about passive involvement in unethical doings which some regard as normal.
