    I’ve played a lot of post apocalyptic video games, lately those experiences are beginning to feel more relevant than I ever wanted… But across all of them, one constant has always remained true: slavers are kill on sight.

    If you are being detained and forced to work you are a slave.

        It’s constitutional. Read the 13th amendment. Abolished slavery, except if you’re incarcerated.

        Yes, it is. There are prisons that “loan” “workers” to companies.

        America has always been a racist, fascist dictatorship state. It’s just allowed to finally show its true colours.

        It’s an unsafe place to be. As a Canadian I will no longer ever set foot in the country as I don’t feel safe for myself or family.

        Other countries are warning about avoiding travel to the US. I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.

        I said months ago there won’t be an America by the time Trumps done. I still stand by that statement.

        America is fucked short term and will be destroyed long term, most likely from eating itself.

    13th Amendment legalized slave labor for prisoners. Not saying I’m happy about it, but there it is.

      There would be something ironic about an afterlife that detains members of ICE at the pearly gates and deports them back where they belong in hell.
