    The 13th amendment specifically allows slavery when incarcerated.

      Doesn’t mean you’re not an asshole if you are pro-slavery

        Someone disagreed with this enough to downvote it. Someone alive in 2024. Edit: Now 2!

          It could mean they think it’s irrelevant or doesn’t add to discussion, which i could honestly see being the case.

        This is absolutely true. And, despite being a pacifist, I must say that the only thing that slavers deserve is a free, shallow, public latrine.
