Hell, I chose homelessness over living with my parents. I would choose it over slavery every time.
And further, I can abide a society that tolerates homelessness; I cannot abide a society that tolerates slavery. This is why the draft must be abolished, this is why private prisons must be abolished, this is why we need to uncouple healthcare from employment.
Homeless. My country has decent social security and “housing first” policy, it’s reasonable to expect to be able to exit the situation soon.
US, same, but exit for edgier reasons.
Dangerous line of question as it is easy for sociopathic fucks to twist and manipulate it all around into justification.
Rather be homeless than a slave. My autonomy is more valuable to me.
What exactly do you think happened with slaves too old to fulfill their duties?
So… worse
Id say the difference is people telling you to “get a job” vs “You’re going to do this job and get whipped”

Never been homeless but I’d definitely take it over slavery. It has to be better than being a flesh robot.
Not only is freedom priceless (my opinion), but I’m sure as hell not enriching someone else to my own detriment.
