to be fair, the UN Convention on the Abolition of Slavery does include indentured servitude, serfdom and other forms of unfreedom under that umbrella term, not just chattel slavery. Which I do agree with, even if in the US specifically "slavery" is universally understood as just "chattel slavery".

"The selfish gourmet (which gourmet is not selfish?) almost wonders whether the abolition of slavery was a well-advised measure in modern social and economic life." I guess that makes this 'almost' wonderment 'almost' reprehensible.

Do you far-right Dems like to talk about "the economy" when the anti-war voices get too shrill? Y'all could just put abolition of the death penalty back on the platform, or commit to the day 1 executive order to actually comply w/US and international law, but y'all just can't stop killing

That ‘grief tech’ entrepreneur who wants to ‘abolish grief’ makes my skin crawl. It would mean the abolition of love. That computer is not your mum. The feeling of horror it gives me feels akin to the horror involved in the desecration of a corpse.

It’s also cool to be a pretty boy or just some gal. I don’t think there’s a wrong way to do this and the fact that the people preaching abolition have come all the way back around to policing other people’s gender expression is just sad.

The criminal justice system is broken and terrible and needs steep reform but total prison abolition is a stupid pipedream for idiots who seem to have forgotten that rapists and murderers exist. It's just a fact there are people too violent and destructive to live in society.

trans people don't owe you gender abolition. it's ok to be a pretty girl or just some dude
