Your inflated sense of self-righteousness is vastly disproportionate to your lack of ignorance.
"According to a Straits Times article, maids coming to Singapore from the Philippines should be using only up to half of their monthly salary to repay a loan, up to an amount of $1,100. This covers her pre-employment expenses such as training and medical examination."

But they don’t get a salary for almost a year, right?
That should answer your question. So now answer mine: would a fresh grad doctor paying off his loans be considered a slave? How about a pilot bonded to SIA? Please go learn what slavery actually is before throwing around accusations.
But they don’t get a salary for almost a year, right? They owe both their agency and the family they work for. So they’re stuck as a slave until their debts are paid off. That’s totally messed up. You all need to own the fact that you’re just slave masters.
Worst comment I’ve read on the internet today
That's fucking indentured servitude.
And indentured servitude is just a flavor of slavery
Yeah, I was just infuriated that he tried to claim that debt somehow makes it not slavery.
Yeah this is the comment they were replying to

Yes and yes.
"Oh! they're a highly paid slave that will earn a lot and be high status when they gain their freedom" DOESN'T MAKE THE SLAVERY OK!!
No, because a doctor can get on a plane and leave, and the maid can't.
That is a pretty salient point.
