The "Cultural Context" Excuse

[Athene]

Yeah we know Drich, you're a slavery apologist. And weirdly proud of it. 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?

Very compelling questions, but pretty misleading...and you know why. Slavery in the American South and modern-day human trafficking would be a more accurate and honest comparison to the enslavement of non-Israelite slaves i.e., chattel slavery.

I assume muddling indentured servitude or being paid slave wages with stealing people, and forcing them to engage in manual labor or literally fuck until their bodies give out, is probably done as much for the apologist's personal benefit, as it is with a mind to confuse/mislead others. I get it: defending your god's affirmation and/or approval of the practice is probably a bit difficult to stomach.

Not really fair or accurate to accuse folks of hypocrisy, when you've made such an effort to conflate two vastly different issues, though...Unless you've got a link to a website demonstrating how the average individual is unavoidably complicit in the practice of chattel slavery, of course; such as benefiting from the trafficking of captive sex-slaves. 

Have you got something like that?
