The kind of slavery the Bible condones is illegal in virtually all countries and is practiced on nowhere near the proportional scale that it used to be. Modern wage slavery is also rife with suffering and should probably also be addressed, but it's a sign that we still have hurdles, not a sign that we need to revert back to Bronze Age labor systems.
Argument from ignorance.
Modern slavery can be far worse than anything allowed by the bible/OT Judaism. That's the point I'm making, because it is unregulated, and because no one checks behind closed doors nothing stops modern slavery from being far worse than anything permitted in the bible.
