We're not, now matter how much you tell us we are. This has been explained to you endlessly. Just because something is happening, it doesn't mean everyone who is alive condones it.
You have to be a slavery apologist to justify your beliefs to yourself. We have no such requirements.
Yeah, that called being a hypocrite.
Like "protesting" how veal is raised and eating it twice a week.
Or saying you do not believe is spanking, but you beat the crap out of your own kids.
You can't say you are against slavery if, EVERY Aspect of your life depends on it.
If you like and will not willingly give up the life you live that is provided by modern slavery, that is the same as you endorsing it despite how you might protest.

The above website agrees in that being complacent about your current goods and life style.
But the real question you should be asking is what would the current slaves do if they did not have their slave jobs? how would they support themselves and live?
Ummm...no. Making excuses for something generally accepted as morally wrong to make it seem like it's NOT really that wrong is completely different from not being an [i]activist[i/] against the thing. I'm not an activist against pedophilia. I don't spend my days with the police trying to hunt down and capture child molesters. But, that doesn't mean that I, as an individual, morally condone child molestation. That's ridiculous.
If you are morally justifying slavery, you're an asshole. If I sit on my ass and don't try to do a damn thing to abolish the world of all existing slavery, maybe I'm an asshole too, but for completely different reasons.
