'Evil' people and 'evil' ways are involved in getting almost everything we need want and use. Drop the 'white guilt' bullshit. Yer morning coffee is picked by de-facto slaves in S.America, yer diamond ring was mined by de-facto slaves in S.Africa. Your ballpark hot-dog is goop left over from shredding animals. Your infrastructure is tended by imports/illegals treated as de-facto slaves at various times and places. Yer lithium batts involve lots of slaves. Yer PC has parts assembled by de-facto slaves. You could not afford a sanitized fully 'ethical' existence - just a bug-infested leaky pine-needle hut for you to starve in. Whomever takes over the 'west' will treat everyone THERE as slaves. Their 'ethic' will be different. The first book of laws ever writ,the 'code of ur-nammu', had a bunch of rules that applied to slaves. Hmmmm ... now I want some hot-dogs for dinner .......
