Jesus didn't speak out against a lot of things that did and didn't exist then.  He never specifically mentioned embezzlement, bestiality, arson, or other iniquities.   You're dishonest when you say it means He was immoral for not doing so.

I have no fucks to give about how a Greek word can be translated when the description of the conditions do not support that translation. People were owned. They were property. Many of them for their entire lives, being inherited by heirs. That's not a servant, nor is it an indentured servant, your attempts to twist the language not withstanding. Nor did I claim jeebus was immoral for not speaking out, but since you brought it up, than yes, as, allegedly, the son of gawd, not speaking out against anything evil would make him immoral at best.

Nice try at the dodge though, Mushamint.
And even if it was indentured servitude. There is a reason we banned that too. Because it's also evil.
