This is a land grab. Same as Palestine. Same as Hawaii. They stopped the prescribed burns, the cut the fire department. They gave away the citizens water. To top it off insurance was cut.
This was a land grab.
Slavery should be abolished.
This shouldn’t be a controversial beleif in 2025.
It is for a lot of people below for some reason.
There was a proposition to abolish it very recently in California that was rejected by the voters. Commiefornia my balls

Third Reich actually had way more liberal drug policy than USA have now.
Fuck I was so disappointed and ashamed reading that in the election results
So I think enslaves is a bit much here.
This is a voluntary program, and I’m not getting the impression it’s the do this or we punish you voluntary either.
Meanwhile there are actual prisons that will force labor or severely punish you for refusing. That’s enslaved.
It’s also possible that the fire fighting is voluntary, but if not this, it would have been other mandatory slave work.
Yes there are slaves in prison, I’m just not entirely sure this specific circumstance is it. They are getting slaves wages though.
America incarcerates people for a ridiculous time and then lets them ‘voluntarily work to shorten their sentence’. It’s slavery with a little semantics.
As long as it’s not forced (truly voluntary with no punishment otherwise) it’s still not enslaving them.
I’m not saying it’s good, but the title has an agenda.
Edit: Actually, the POSTER has the agenda, not the article. OP used the world enslaves. The actual article title is ‘Essential’: nearly 800 incarcerated firefighters deployed as LA battles wildfires. This is why a lot of places have no editorializing the titles rules.
What do you think about indentured servitude being called slavery?
I agree that’s slavery.
There is slavery in the US prison system as well.
These prisoners are supposedly doing this specific job voluntarily, with pay. That is not indentured servitude.
Voluntarily risking their life for 5 to 10 bucks a day. Suuure.
Lmfao at the absolutely classic .world responses in this thread. “Slavery is good actually”. You guys play your role too a T.
The ones in California are probably so glad they just voted in November to keep these prisoners enslaved.
Everyone who voted for that in LA deserves their home to burn, but I feel for all the working class casualties and people who were already homeless.
Remember, these are the people calling leftists “authoritarians”
Yikes, seeing people come out of the woodworks to defend slavery…
Person from Star Trek instance defending slavery is epsecially baffling, could be Gul Dukat alt account.
