    Yo guys I went to the source and found that

    The methodology and methods used in the Index are currently inadequate and therefore the Index cannot be validated or replicated

    WHAT A STRANGE COINCIDENCE

    Wonder how it’s even possible Amerika isn’t on this list when they have the most prisoners in the world, and extracts slave labor from them.

      because prisoners forced to be hotshots (frontline wildland firefighters, one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, with minimal training and single shifts that can last for literal days) get paid like $3/hour so of course they’re not slaves

      The USA did establish their indian residential fake schools which are slave camps and death camps that imprison all Indigenous children and half Europeans for 150 years and supposedly end in 10 years after the cold war although they might still continue the fake school enslavement in secret. They are now enslaving non european immigrants, but the non white immigrant are not domestic citizen so it does not count as slavery.

    That’s all very interesting, Mr. Amerikkkan. Where are your corporations getting lithium from again? Child labor in Bolivia under a CIA-installed regime? That’s ok. It’s not slavery on your own soil at least…

    P.S. Yeah, I have no idea where them 1m slaves are at around here.

    P.P.S. Wait, I thought the entire population of DPRK are slaves smh.

        12 hour overnight shifts as well. Near lethal industrial equipment that requires hours of training and certification, and is rated as 18 and older only by law.

        Okay so I looked up the name and it’s something called “Federal Prison Industries”? Which is already a very alarming name, but apparently they’re behind that brand with cutesy unicorns that’s all over various stores in my city. What the hell?

          I heard Unicor name from Daniel Dumbrill 3 or so years ago in one of his rants. I was careful to hold onto it, they sell jailed Black/Muslim slaves for like 38 cents per hour. Its a whole online e-commerce like portal that US government runs. It was one of the things that really made me rage.

            Sorry, I am confused. Do they sell them physically? As in, Joe Business can just stroll into a prison and say “Yeah, I’d have uuuhh twenty blacks and five Arabs, wrap em”? Or am I having a brain fart and you mean selling their labour?

              Renting them for labour, that is what Unicor prison business is. But it is kind of selling people in that way, where some corpo or client of US government can pick slaves from them like that.

                Renting for labor implies physical relocation, doesn’t it? That’s insane. You’re right, it is slavery

    There are probably more slaves in America (where it’s actually legal) than there are in all of these countries combined

      Oddly enough they are probably the most pro-EU/US of the central Asian nations, they even host US military bases. Strange choice to put here.

        Maybe it’s just the usual USA arrogance for “third world shithole” or/and “idk where it is, let’s put it here too since we’re asspulling everything anyway”

          Also doing some simple math makes this look completely ridiculous, according to these figures 3.5% of people in Uzbekistan are slaves, that’s higher than some actual slave states during the colonial era.
