I don't really care if the people that think the problem with fascist movements is anonymity don't know what politics are.

Trafficking people was the only political tool they had to fight against oppression at the time, they weren't able to lead to a larger change in society so they were reserved to impacting change on an individual level.

Trafficking people

Are you still talking about the underground railroad?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -3 points 2 weeks ago

Given that's what you were replying to, what else do you think I would be talking about?

[-] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Ok yeah unhinged take, thanks for confirming

You're mixing up human trafficking (which is always exploitative) with human smuggling (which may or may not be exploitative). Longer comment here: https://lemmy.ca/post/71542429/25593898

Thank you for clarifying, you are correct in what I was trying to say.

the underground railroad was moving people illegally, sure the people consented but so do quite a few human trafficking victims (intially).

By any definition of human trafficking, keeping slaves would qualify as that, freeing slaves would not.

slaves were property and generally not moving, moving them to freedom is trafficking and theift.
