So are the slave markets better now or nah
Like, if you could sell the subtle nuances of your own fine grain bootlicking we wouldn't be in this mess.

You had a post right after Harris's dnc speech that was like "I didn't like it but this is how we win by 5%" and...

I concede my narrow point that the slave system (which preceded Gaddafi) is unique to post 2011 Libya. It is however still the case that it is much worse now www.ebsco.com/research-sta....
