I'm a prison abolitionist, and certainly a slavery abolitionist as well.

I just think it's not widely known that slavery is still legal in the United States so long as the slave is a criminal. Quoted the 13th amendment to spread awareness.

You might be excited to learn that in internet forums discussing things of this nature it is very common knowledge then.

It also tends to be used by specific demographics to derail topics like prison and slavery abolition. Without context, it's difficult to tell the difference between belaboring the point and a bad faith argument.

I personally gave you the benefit of the doubt, but it makes it questionable and some may not.

What forums?
On a wild tangent, I have always been fascinated by the amount of learning material on how to perform searches there is on the web.

It's something akin to learning how to learn. It needs to be bootstrapped first.

Or, was there some point beyond you asking for help? If so, maybe elaborate a bit.
