But while I'd agree this is a brutal tool for social control, for policing segregation and preserving a black underclass, I still think mass incarceration is very distinct from the system of chattel slavery, which was fully and unambiguously abolished in 1865 after a long liberatory struggle - ThreadSky

How does it feel to be a completely disingenuous hack whose only purpose is to dissemble and obfuscate?

mrquindazzi.bsky.social•423 days ago

This is incorrect. I would suggest reading Slavery by Another Name by Douglas A. Blackmon

jamellebouie.net•422 days ago

Blackmon’s book is not about mass incarceration and Blackmon does not make the claim that convict leasing was indistinguishable from chattel slavery.

That book also tends to contradict the whole idea that somehow that exception in the law was contemporaneously intended as some way to continue slavery.

will. will. will. if you lock somebody up for a bullshit "crime" then profit off the labor you force them to perform, IS THAT SLAVERY?

King of the moving goalposts. “It isn’t slavery!” so often becomes “it isn’t chattel slavery!” and guess what, literally no one is arguing that it is. Every single person has been trying to make you understand that there are multiple types of slavery and you keep ignoring them.

Ah, I see we’ve moved from slavery to now saying the specific “chattel slavery”. You know, the thing literally everyone has been clear saying that the slavery of the American prison system is distinct from. It’s really interesting how you’ve suddenly created a strawman no one was arguing.

I watched The Holdovers, played multiple games of chess, and farted around on YouTube and this guy is *still* Posting Through It??

I asked him what the further amendment to the Constitution was and got immediately blocked 😭

I must be muted after he qrt me a few weeks ago when I asked him why he wouldn’t support socialized housing. He went on and on about the “policy circles” he was involved in that were going to solve the issue but ignored me when I asked what those circles were and what their solutions were 🤷

There he is again, popping up to remind you he’s a fucking useless tool

rmoonhill.bsky.social•423 days ago

He also manages to *still be wrong*, at the same time.

The guy is like a gymnast for twisting through hanging on to a stupid take through thick and thin.

Lololololololol.

Hahahahahaha.

It’s honestly incredible how he tucks it in this massive thread. Just utterly incapable of admitting he’s wrong. There’s a lot of people like Will who will do this kind of thing, but not too many to do it so publicly. Usually this kind of boneheaded ego saving is for boardrooms!
