We're like 5 comments deep in a Lemmy meme thread about a recycled webcomic and you think I'm undermining actual efforts to end slavery? You're actually stupid lol. Please explain to me where the "actual effort" is so I can laugh at you more than I already am.

I'm sure the people in slavery are really happy that slavery is at its lowest level per capita in recorded human history!

But yeah it is such a big problem we need a lot of effort in solving. It's not like you just can't enslave people or anything. Gosh I hope people come up with something eventually because I can't think of one dang solution to this big ol problem.

There are documentaries showing Chinese prisoners being forced to peel garlic to the point they lose fingernails. The US levied heavy tariffs due to the dumping (fine with slave labor though I guess), then the Chinese used other countries as a middle man to get around them. I doubt it's a national security risk, but it's absolutely fucked up.

Don't buy peeled garlic.

There's also the small little detail about him being responsible, either directly or indirectly, for the deaths of 3-4 million people.
