That's Drich's way. Like I said, he's trying to conflate slavery with employment, while also saying that we're hypocrites for both criticizing the bible for its slavery content and generally denouncing slavery in general even though the West was largely built on slavery. So, since we're not living in a cave or leading a revolution, we're bad people who have no intellectual or moral ground to stand on regarding slavery.
Which is complete bullshit, of course. It's becoming incredibly clear that the end result of a capitalistic republic is oligarchy, and short of revolution (either peaceful, through ideas and new government, or violent), it's not going to change, especially when the powers that be keep embroiling us in conflict after conflict which keep us weary.
Sorry, I can't topple the oligarchy. And I shouldn't be held in contempt because I can't.
