The guard on horseback always rubbed me wrong because it's a direct throwback to the antebellum south.
That always struck me as a "the cruelty is the point" thing. Too on-the-nose.
It's the fucking cherry on the pie, if those bastards were on foot, leasing inmates is still slavery anyways.
And a bigger question is "why all those people are in jail anyways".
Followed by "So, as I was saying, you can't say anything worse than excellent about Biden cuz Orange Man Bad"
Always fucks with me that US libs will talk all the shit they can think of about how authoritarian other countries supposedly are, while we have the largest prison system on the fucking planet, largely made of non-violent drug offenders who have been incarcerated for slave labor. Also frustrating that they don't recognize it as slavery because they get paid a few cents, failing to understand that coercion is the key element of slavery, not pay.
What if China was doing an apartheid on the scale of the US imperial project? Wouldn't that be terrible?
Anyway, time for more freedom bombs and publicity stunts with Indian fascists.
No but you see, the European Convention on Human Rights says that prison labour is excluded from the definition of forced labour so it's all okay
Haha wouldn't it be silly if they lost contact with the prison and the horse threw the guard off, breaking his ankle? Wouldn't it be funny if this modern day overseer was then left isolated and disabled in the middle of nowhere with only his victims for company?
so just because it exists in the us that makes it okay for china to do it?
It's a small reminder for yanks to not repeat dubious corporate media (aka CIA) claims just because.
No, you see, I trust
whitewestern media, because they are objective and unbiased, as opposed to anyone in China, who is actually brainwashed.
