i find that highly implausible. Unless you're equating "wage" slavery to chattel slavery.

Slavery is still legally allowed in the United States as punishment for a crime, and business is booming.

And in truth its hard to live today without participating in some atrocity, and is that very idea not worth discussing? The gasoline in your car came at great costs both past and future, the cops keep killing innocent people, the US has more slaves now than it did at the peak of the slave trade, we don't own our data and governments are in the collection game, and on and on.
There's plenty worth speaking out against.
