You can tell this person is reasonably intelligent. They are articulate enough to present this as an actual argument.
And yet they're still capable of falling into fallacy and propaganda.
Just a reminder that this is the type of person to watch out for in real life. This is an obvious example, but intelligent sounding people are still susceptible to such bullshit, and theyre the ones who do the best to make it sound right.
American diabolism is a hell of a drug.

Funny how they conflate actual slavery with 'wage slaves' which is something totally different and also wasn't different in the south at the time anyway.
Slaves were also not guaranteed food, housing nor even life. Conforming slaves got the minimum of those things so that they could continue being slaves.
Unfortunately, when I was growing up in the south, this sort of bullshit was actually being taught in schools.
Worse than that, conforming slaves got the housing they made, the food they grew
