And that they make up a lower proportion of all humans than at any point in recorded human history.

It's a big problem but it's one that people are putting a lot of effort into solving.

Is penal slavery counted? Because if not, you can add about 5 million from the US alone.

I'm sure the people in slavery are really happy that slavery is at its lowest level per capita in recorded human history!

But yeah it is such a big problem we need a lot of effort in solving. It's not like you just can't enslave people or anything. Gosh I hope people come up with something eventually because I can't think of one dang solution to this big ol problem.

I’m sure people in slavery are really happy with a random someone posting bullshit in an effort to undermine actual efforts to free them.

We're like 5 comments deep in a Lemmy meme thread about a recycled webcomic and you think I'm undermining actual efforts to end slavery? You're actually stupid lol. Please explain to me where the "actual effort" is so I can laugh at you more than I already am.
