It's really not though.
> Slavery has existed about as long as humanity has
Correct but that kind of slavery was more akin to indentured servitude.
Chattel slavery where you keep people's descendants, torture them, and deprive them of basic human rights is unconstitutional and immoral.
We can't just ignore flagrant human rights abuses just because of their skin color
To deny this fact IS low iq.
Bigger point, since I do not believe in human rights or morality: is it functional?
Slave labor is low quality labor, and slave populations a frequent risk of revolt.
Works well for no one.
> I do not believe in human rights or morality
You can't just drop the mic on somethin that heavy lol how do you not believe in human rights?
>Slave labor is low quality labor, and slave populations a frequent risk of revolt.
Good point! I didn't even think of that but I do remember reading somewhere that the amount of $ they had to spend on garrissons to quell slave revolts was so expensive it borderline unsustainable without excessive taxes.
Slavery also requires armed overseers and a whole set of institutions and laws.
Human rights mistakenly assume that people are valuable for being people.
Many people are not good, and should not have rights. That simply enables them to revenge themselves on the good people.
