Hey, I agree with @bubbalu@hexbear.net , this isn't a dunk. This person is a comrade. Could you please post this to a more fitting comm?
I'm going to delete this in a bit.
It's one of my favorite stories to talk about, that even after the Trail of Tears and being so utterly crushed under the American boot, they still stood in solidarity and gave what they could. It's the best of humanity on display juxtaposed on the worst atrocities committed by humanity.
No extra steps necessary, it's slavery and it's explicitly legal in that hellhole
Yep. Then they obfuscate it with legal language and technicalities like giving the guy a trinket wage. Hence the extra steps.
The token wage isn't even an extra step, it just makes it not chattel slavery. But the level of freedom prisoners have is actually worse then most chattel slavery.

Don't forget this piece of the puzzle.
lmao "modern police aren't exactly identical to police in the 1870s, therefore we rate this mixed"
Patrols in the northern U.S. also became useful for breaking up labor strikes before they became too destructive (Marxist political historian Eric Hobsbawm referred to the mechanisms of violence and destruction of property to agitate for better working conditions as "collective bargaining by riot") and these services became increasingly utilized as the country became more populated and conditions simultaneously grew more difficult for the United States' restive economic underclasses.
Once class traitors, always class traitors.
I don't believe this is a dunk tank post. This man is a great comrade and has made a more profound sacrifice for Palestinian Liberation than almost anyone in the US.
