Slavery isn’t just early pre civil war American south slavery. Slavery is surely bad but so are a lot of institutions controlling the poor, and I’m not sure the moral disgust with it scales to the concept of slavery generally.

Gladiators, drafts, totalitarian states, etc.

A lot of them are really just slavery under a nuanced scheme that we’re all fine role playing.
