You seem to be expressing a synonymous fluidity between all these terms which would lead to their comparison and discussion being utterly useless.
-Do you think the only thing that's different between pre civil war america and post civil war america in context is the word we use for slavery?
-Do you think that the only difference in context between nazi germany and NATO held Pristina was what they called the fenced communities?
-Does a woman have the right to choose to dash an infants head on a rock?
That you choose to muddy the waters such that any of these terms are interchangeabe leads me to conclude that you -simply could not- come to anything but useless generalities by considering them in the first place. What good is your opinion, or any opinion, on the subject of nothing in particular?
Quote:Instead of slave we have the term migrant worker or 'outsourced factory worker' Instead of concentration camp we have a refugee camp, instead of Killing babies we have a woman's right to choose, Instead of religious genocide, we have the war on terror or all we need do is label someone a radical Islamist, and that person looses his humanity. None of these acts 'slavery, forcing people into concentration camps, religious persecution, infanticide, dehumanization of a sect of society were unique to Nazi Germany. As I pointed out they are all very alive and well in our modern western society now. you've only been trained to look at them differently, and to compartmentalize your morality to very specific/extreme examples before you will acknowledge a specific violation.
