[–] M1ch431@slrpnk.net -3 points 3 months ago* (1 child) Well, we agree. As for myself? I chose to not be a slave and I'm sticking with that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lauha@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 child) I also get to choose, but I am privileged to be able to choose. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] M1ch431@slrpnk.net -4 points 3 months ago* With some exceptions, we all have a choice in the first-world. Chains can be external and internal. In your example, the chains are mostly internal even if there is some degree of external chains. If you're living in SF and are a game developer, chances are you aren't doing terribly. As for exploited and poor third-world countries or those who lack citizenship in first-world countries (i.e. undocumented immigrants), I'm inclined to say that is modern slavery. It sometimes literally is slavery, even child slavery. Here in the first-world, we presently benefit from child slavery and third-world exploitation in the products we consume. It's not uncommon either. I believe people have to choose differently if they want different. Be the change you seek, that whole jazz. permalink fedilink source parent
