Australia passed a law yesterday that no child under 16 can have a social media account. The day it passed, it deleted every single child account across multiple social media apps.
Well done, Australia! 👏🏾
“Be proud we ended slavery.”
That’s like bragging: “Yes, we burned down the house, but eventually we stopped.”
You ended slavery after extracting centuries of wealth, after building the modern West on stolen labor, stolen land, stolen bodies.
Ending it wasn’t moral triumph, it was the expiration of a business model.
The West didn’t free slaves, it retired an asset class.
