I know you're just trolling but given how much the current administration has done to shut down foreign aid programs that helped investigate and stop trafficking, the American Right doesn't seem to give a shit about "real slavery" either.

Why would people from place X be more interested in abuses happening in place X than in a country literally half a planet away that they have no control over? Truly a mystery, probably they are just DEI crazies (whatever that means).

Real slavery, like what's permitted via the Thirteenth Amendment and propagated by over-policing black communities? Pretty sure the "American Left" is keenly aware of this, even if terminally-online armchair policy analysts engaging in whataboutisms aren't.

This is kinda the whole crux of prison and police reform in the US; you may want to read "The New Jim Crow". Decent primer.

You could, of course, demand/wish/hope that right-wing politicians did anything about slavery in foreign nations. But somehow “trying to do anything good” is on left-wing politicians, while right-wing politicians, without repercussions, can thwart all anti-slavery efforts made by the US over several decades.

Like ending 69 global initiatives to end child labor, forced labor and trafficking: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/27/trump-cuts-c...

US politics in a nutshell. In order to feel you’ve contributed to a conversation, you can just yell DEI and be done with it.
