Modern Slavery: A Progressive’s Guide (… Guise?)
A wealthy white couple’s casual justification of paying undocumented workers $5 per hour exposes the hypocrisy within certain progressive circles. While claiming liberal values and pro-immigration stances, they openly advocate for labor exploitation, dismissing comparisons to slavery by arguing “slaves were treated much worse.” Their aggressive defense of these contradictions, combined with elitist attitudes and disdain for “common folks,” reveals how some privileged liberals have created a playbook for modern exploitation while maintaining a progressive facade. Meanwhile, families spend thousands on legal immigration, highlighting the disconnect between claimed values and actual practices.
