      Your children yearn for the mines. Mine yearn for “uncoerced” contractual work obligations in the mines. We are not the same.

    I wonder what races the proponents of this argument visualize the sellers to be. In practice it happens to be the poorest people on earth in the global south. The bourgeois western middle class isn’t selling their kidney for a third jet ski, it’s some afghan doing it for a bag of wheat.

      i would guess they imagine people that look like them but poorer doing it, that just seems to be how most people imagine things. but just like buying blood in ameriKKKa its black people that are gonna do it almost exclusively.

        Also true, a lot of people in this country have reduced homeless people to non-human (even if they happen to be the same race). A lot of different types of reactionary thought in this place, hard to pin down to just one thing like racism.
