Yo guys I went to the source and found that

The methodology and methods used in the Index are currently inadequate and therefore the Index cannot be validated or replicated

WHAT A STRANGE COINCIDENCE

I was going to say, how is it so high in the People’s Republic of China?

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Didn't double check but it's obviously because they count all the alleged Uyghur forced labour

[-] absentthereaper@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Wonder how it's even possible Amerika isn't on this list when they have the most prisoners in the world, and extracts slave labor from them.

[-] xenautika@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

because prisoners forced to be hotshots (frontline wildland firefighters, one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, with minimal training and single shifts that can last for literal days) get paid like $3/hour so of course they're not slaves

[-] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

And the best thing: Because have a crime record, they can not even work in that field after release.

[-] xenautika@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

this is frequently true, however I know of a private agency that hires former prisoners. unfortunately a lot of these former prisoners are neo-nazis, and that seems to be tolerated

The USA did establish their indian residential fake schools which are slave camps and death camps that imprison all Indigenous children and half Europeans for 150 years and supposedly end in 10 years after the cold war although they might still continue the fake school enslavement in secret. They are now enslaving non european immigrants, but the non white immigrant are not domestic citizen so it does not count as slavery.

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Apparently the unpaid labor of the largest prison population in the world isn’t slavery?

That's all very interesting, Mr. Amerikkkan. Where are your corporations getting lithium from again? Child labor in Bolivia under a CIA-installed regime? That's ok. It's not slavery on your own soil at least...

P.S. Yeah, I have no idea where them 1m slaves are at around here.

P.P.S. Wait, I thought the entire population of DPRK are slaves smh.

[-] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

You don't have to go outside USA. There were recent reports of literal children working in meat packing facilities.

12 hour overnight shifts as well. Near lethal industrial equipment that requires hours of training and certification, and is rated as 18 and older only by law.

[-] frippa@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Did Uzbekistan nationalize industries or made the USA mad in other ways?

[-] commiewolf@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oddly enough they are probably the most pro-EU/US of the central Asian nations, they even host US military bases. Strange choice to put here.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe it's just the usual USA arrogance for "third world shithole" or/and "idk where it is, let's put it here too since we're asspulling everything anyway"

[-] frippa@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The city state of ANDORRA has 15.6 MILLION slaves!!

[-] commiewolf@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Also doing some simple math makes this look completely ridiculous, according to these figures 3.5% of people in Uzbekistan are slaves, that's higher than some actual slave states during the colonial era.

[-] InterKosmos61@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

There are probably more slaves in America (where it's actually legal) than there are in all of these countries combined

[-] Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I like how all the countries listed, except Russia, are non-white

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Russia is 95% white though anglos currently count them as "asiatic horde".

As an Asian, I'm proud to welcome you into the family! You shall bring honour to it!

[-] Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Good point, I will edit my comment

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Impressive. Very nice. Let's see USA's statistics.

[-] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

They are busy selling slaves via Unicor.

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Okay so I looked up the name and it's something called "Federal Prison Industries"? Which is already a very alarming name, but apparently they're behind that brand with cutesy unicorns that's all over various stores in my city. What the hell?

[-] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I heard Unicor name from Daniel Dumbrill 3 or so years ago in one of his rants. I was careful to hold onto it, they sell jailed Black/Muslim slaves for like 38 cents per hour. Its a whole online e-commerce like portal that US government runs. It was one of the things that really made me rage.

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Sorry, I am confused. Do they sell them physically? As in, Joe Business can just stroll into a prison and say "Yeah, I'd have uuuhh twenty blacks and five Arabs, wrap em"? Or am I having a brain fart and you mean selling their labour?

[-] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Renting them for labour, that is what Unicor prison business is. But it is kind of selling people in that way, where some corpo or client of US government can pick slaves from them like that.

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Renting for labor implies physical relocation, doesn't it? That's insane. You're right, it is slavery

[-] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, they are relocated to factory prisons or straight up plantations where they are used as slave labor.
