Ohhhh noooo, someone had it worse in the past, so that means the present cannot be bad or on a backwards slide!

... fucking what.

That's not nearly what I said, but I guess literacy isn't your strong point, considering this conversation.

I’m sure those people desperate for a better life will be totally relieved by your news that they’re not literally slaves.

Nor are they effectively slaves.

Conditions can be shitty without being slavery, which is a term with an actual definition.

Your empathy is broken.

Because I... think slavery has a meaning?

Sorry that you don't think words have meanings. I hope you get better.

Way to completely and utterly demonstrate how you are absolute trash at learning from history…

You know a lot about it, but your knowledge is merely academic. You are an absolute failure at understanding history.

What.

Much like how you are repeatedly offended at people being completely unwilling to support Israel. You do not understand the human cost of what you talk about.

What.

... supporting Israel is, apparently, having supported the complete abolition of aid to Israel for more than a decade-and-a-half at this point.

Again; Pathetic.
