    America is gearing up to put illegals, brown people, women who don’t want kids/women who believe in women’s right to choose, and the LGBTQ+ in slave labor camps.

      A lot of the immigrant labor has been at least slave-like for decades too. Under constant threat of deportation on their “employer’s” whim. Fairly common for “employers” to take documented worker’s documentation to hold them hostage. Reports of some farmers housing and working workers fenced-in, having them working under gunpoint. Some farmers have been caught buying and selling immigrants amongst each-other. I remember a report of a meatpacking plant calling ICE on its own employees to have them deported after they started asking for better treatment, then just hiring more immigrants to replace them. Hell, I even remember near where I grew up, you could see the shed-like shacks from the road on one farm where they kept the migrant workers; no electricity, didn’t look like they had any running water either.

      Yep. And their action doesn’t justify or excuse China’s or vice versa. It’s bad regardless who’s doing it.

        Not my point. We act so high and mighty while a literally rapist is in the white house and is talking about needing more babies for labor… We are speed larping the Handmaids Tale but the DM can only read at a fifth grade level.

        Edit: we as a society seem to envy China but want to do it our way… The white male Christian way… That’s my point.
