>>13058093>Under modern slavery, the black community, as well as every community, would not have the freedom to engage in the "destructive acts of freedom" such as drug abuse, crime, feckless disregard of education, a disinterest in labor, and maladaptive self-harming behaviors such as overeating (76% of blacks are overweight, 48% are obese).My response to that would be

Another thing I'm kind of confused about is your concept of "modern slavery", is it just a codeword for more policing or something else? If it's just more policing, it would probably cause an increase in crime due to backlash. Just look at the study I cited and look at the historical precedent of what happened after the murder of george floyd. Also where are the obesity statistics?
>This damage is also mirrored in every race of people, again, caused entirely by the freedom to hurt yourselfMaking certain food illegal would just create a black market and cause a rise in crime though, just like what happened with prohibition. Even if it was a possibility, the benefits of personal freedoms outweigh their costs. If you truly wanted to advance the interests of society, you would recognize that most people support ideas like drug legalization and personal liberty.
>which is ultimately meaningless because words produce little meaningful physical ramificationsYou would be surprised by how greatly public speakers managed to influence people. For example hitler's public speeches were one of the main reasons he became popular.
