Can anyone explain why owning slaves should be illegal if you're not initiating aggression against other free citizens or their property?
>>2486771
It shouldn't be illegal, it is specifically backed by the bible.
>>2486771
Why should it be legal? They are people, just like you.
>>2486771
because you probably wouldn't like it beeing kidnapped by slavers and sold to work in a mine
So we strive to create a world where such things dont happen
>>2486771
Because it stifles progress and personal virtue. The agricultural revolution would never have happened if slavery was still around.
>>2486771
desu thw world would be better off if everyone had their own white slave
>>2486806
Serial killers are people too
>>2486852
Yes. That's why nobody sells them on slave markets.

The agricultural revolution was one of the biggest mistakes in human history and will need to the deaths of billions of people who should never have been born in the first place.
STOP FEEDING THE ANIMALS, ASSHOLE!

it's shit for society

Honey I bought a new house slave for you. He's only a convicted psychopathic murder. But he's great at cleaning and helping with kids. Have a good day.

I should be able to enslave anyone I want as long as it doesn't violate the NAP

Slavery should be illegal because it's become an inefficient way of managing labor.

Literally a meme.
>>2486771
Because human beings are intelligent animals not meant to be property to be sold and slave.

Bad for economic growth desu. All the manual labour jobs can be done by machines, and having some poor bastard fan you with a palm leave doesn't contribute to the economy. It also hurts the economy of the neighbouring countries from which they were taken
>>2486771
First it's not useful for labour so it'd only be for people searching for sex slaves or personal servants and you can find thoses and either pay them or have them wish to be your slave with consent.
Second, the only people that could be slaves with that preamble would be people selling themselves voluntarly.
And then there's the problem of children born of slaves.
Slaves
>buy the damn thing for $$$
>have living quarters for it that cost $$$ or have him waste and die from bad living conditions
>have to feed him for more $$$
>slave has nothing to lose, slacking off only exposes him to your punishments (not death, would you really kill your own money?)
>slave is not a citizen so you have to provide for all the shit he'd need
wageslave
>if they die/quit you just hire another seamlessly
>their meager wages go back to the rich via living costs, if you're a business owner, you can get back a part of their wages
>they pay for their own housing, food, transportation
>they pay taxes
