Could you please cite the human rights agreement the EU is a part of that allows slavery?
There is no slavery in the EU. You seem confused. EU offers asylum to those who escape slavery. Because of human rights, even in the face of rising fascism. Because they have signed it, and they believe in it.
Refer above. It's tough to believe that people from such a civilised place dont know what colonialism is.
Are you mistaking the EU for the UAE? Might be a noob mistake on your part. Better have that fixed before you further embarrass yourself.
I think it is genuinely funny how many of you did not even consider that slavery outside the borders could happen. Almost like youre primed to think of it that way
You mean sweatshops in third world countries? So how's that specifically a European thing?
If you have an issue with those then your issue lies with modern day capitalism, not with Europe.
Yes, you dense motherfucker. Where do you think that came from?
The United States, mostly. For the modern version.
Middle East, especially Cairo, for the version that current day capitalism developed from.
Lmao, source?
History book. Look for Cairo in the middle ages. Or read about the journey of Mansa Musa. That might hopefully give you an idea that gaining capital isn't a unique or European idea.
Perhaps also read about the invention of paper money, and the trade of Chinese merchants.
which history book, specifically? Why are you so confident you know anything about what you're talking about?
