yeah there is a lot of variables. Im kinda more pissed off if you keep me in horrid conditions and for me to work by force of pain than kill me painlessly but if I had a lot of rights and was taken pretty good care of vs being killed slowly and painfully. When it comes down to it I don’t want any of those scenarios. I mean maybe the quick and painless death in some scenarios of life.
I was thinking of this - Yes, slavery is bad. But is there truly nothing worse that can be done?
I’m guessing it might be because slavery was institutionalized over such a long period, that the generational exploitation makes it worse.
Once several generations of a lineage are treated like property, I guess one could argue that it’s worse than a single murder. Now, extrapolate this past a single individual/lineage, and I would reason that along the same logic, slavery is worse than genocide.

I could see arguments either way. But slavery has numbers and sheer length of time.

This vote was specifically about the transatlantic trade, which was a genocide.
