      Kinda, but the US constitution amendment abolishing slavery has a side note saying “except when incarcerated” which caused mass incarceration of black people for bullshit reasons to continue slavery. And to this day there are states where incarcerated people are forced to work without pay or risk punishment when they refuse, in a form which is considered torture by the UN and human rights watch.

      So I get it that people feel slaves of society, but I’m talking about actual slavery.
