meh, i think poor laws is the closest analogue, there is no right of conquest or kids being born into it. debt prisons as well, with debt being non-equity holder in modern world, apparently
it's more not to downplay slavery horrors tbh, surely those prisons will be sight of many beatings and so on, yet they still wouldn't approach the depravity of chattel slavery.
Sure, but there's clearly a trajectory here.
You don't have to have chattel slavery for it to be slavery, the way enslaved people were treated as livestock by Americans was historically uniquely horrific
well, anglobrain associates american slavery in their brain with that word (and haiti weren't americans). roman slavery or tribe war-related slavery were different from chattel slavery, but we have same word for them. while something like peasantry in russia was skirting very close to it
How exactly would children not be born into it?
cause they would be stolen before by adoption/foster care. no, cause they aren't financial assets on the books nor funneled into the system by itself, rather by material position
Ah okay thank you
on larger and probabilistic outcome scale it would be kinda sorta comparable (if these laws get implemented that is), but still the comparison makes me icky 
the class reasoning is also very different
Makes sense
LITERALLY slavery with extra steps 
And also commit them, for what, for losing their home??
Huh, I wonder why the state with some of the highest poverty rates and lowest amount of home ownership would do this 
Because it's governed by accelerationists eager to turn America's foreign policy tactics i.e. re: Cuba inward in order to foment desire for rebellion? 
Right?? 
Waow just like ebil sissypee Chyna

“Not having enough stuff? It’s a crime! We will house you in the most expensive way possible! Why? So I can feel better seeing you suffer for not being as lucky as me!”
there are some sporadic news that housing inmates costs like 30k a year, and my question is always what the fuck do you with that money and might as well mates just give them a job digging and filling holes with those moneys (the true function is of course working the fields and inhaling smoke for 25 cents an hour, but)
So you have a supply of work to do that you can just assign people to!
You're going to let them just apply to do that as a job, aren't you?
