Okay what would you call a volkswagen plant that used slave labor? Or a defense contractor that used slave labor, or a pharmaceutical plant that used slave labor and tortured humans for “mefical research”? Is a plantation “special” because they grew plants?
No. It’s “special” because people want to quickly gloss over the massive concentration camps that drove the agricultural south and other states.
Sure, it’s a plantation, and a volkswagen plant, and a military contractor facility. Sure. Nothing to see.
