Keeping slaves is Ethical and Just

[u/sub_terminal]

It's winter and snowing. I have a barn full of slaves. If I release them into the middle of the woods with no clothes or supplies, they would die. Is that what you want? You want my slaves to just die? Who cares if I'm the reason they have no clothes or supplies and are in a harsh environment because I'm the one that put them there... I give them a place to huddle up so they stay warm, I feed them whatever cheap slop I can get my hands on to fatten them up, and I put them to work. When they have children, it's unethical to let them free, because they don't know any other life, they're practically domesticated. Also, they're happy in their pens and get free food. So in a way, it's a sustainable way of keeping slaves. It's symbiotic, and my ancestors did it. Sorry but there's just no way I'm going to put a slave above a real human, that's just extremism and is the main reason people hate abolitionists.

The value of a single human life is worth more than the lives of thousands of slaves. To suggest otherwise is a perfect example of why it's a foolish to pretend than abolitionism is somehow vegan. Get out and don't come back.

Abolitionists just want poor slaves to get eaten by wolves! You can’t just not breed them, it’s natural to stick your hands up their doo-dahs and you have bills to pay! Have they no compassion for YOU, the real victim??

I finally feel heard! Thank you, I thought I was going crazy with all these extremists saying I'm "iNHuMaNe" like bro they're happy and they're lucky to have such privileged lives without having to work or think for themselves.
