genuinely, how old are you?
if your child doesn't want to brush their teeth, are you going to insist that their personal freedom is the most important thing and let their dental hygiene suffer? that forcing them to brush their teeth is somehow slavery? (as small as it is, it is work after all)
it's 15h a semester, a kid can do ~1h of helping out around the neighbourhood a week and pass easily. oh no! a child is being made to help people for an hour a week! learning the benefits of helping and gaining experience doing small tasks! literally slavery!
you gotta touch some grass buddy, smell the flowers, talk with parents, talk with teachers, relax
What else would you call forced labour with no paycheck?
then go ask an ethics board of your nearby university their opinion, see how many people actually agree with your overtly exaggerated understanding of "child slavery". because holy shit man, i'm a leftist, so far left i'm an anarchist, i'm all for freedom and consent, and even by my standards what you're saying is just– wild
what? (._.) <- this has been my face the entire conversation, sometimes (o_O) <- this
this is not what moving the goal post means. at least look up things before saying them
i would make a rational argument, if i thought my argument would be met with an equally rational response. but so far you haven't really shown off your ability to do so, so i'd rather outsource that task to someone who at least would make some money from a conversation with you
sure thing buddy, i'll go ahead and get my grown up tasks going, and you finish your education, and no it's not slavery i promise
