Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Where in the Constitution does it say wage slavery is illegal?
I’m not physically forced to work but if I stop making money for even a short period of time I’m at risk of losing everything. The modern age of America is wage slavery where we’re forced to work ridiculous hours just to be able to afford to barely survive. If that’s not modern slavery idk wtf is
It’s not even that anymore.
I’m personally a slave. I have the choice between working or ending up homeless and starving. If I can’t work I’m told to go fuck myself and die.
The only difference today is I don’t get whipped.
No like…it’s literally in the Constitution.
How long was slavery still around after the Constitution was ratified?
Oh that’s right 77 years.
But like, the current active in-use fully amended constitution.

How about being imprisoned for a bullshit crime where you can be forced to work without pay as outlined in the 13th amendment?
I’m not saying your life is peachy, just making the point that slavery as it existed 150 years ago hasn’t fully gone away.
Yes I’m essentially a house slave. I don’t get beat because that would look bad. I just get the threat of starvation or imprisonment.
