    no, they’re practical. if you want to stop slavery, you’re going to need to do something about slavery. abstaining from visiting a defunct plantation is completely ineffective at abolishing slavery

    It’s obvious that I was making an argument situated during the period of chattel slavery on plantations. I said “whether slavery occurs” lmao.

        you seem to think a great deal of things are obvious, which are not.

        You’re absolutely correct. For instance, I thought it was obvious that someone capable of posting online would have to be literate enough to understand that the idea of slavery occurring in relation to a southern plantation implies a context prior to abolition.
