Good people don't make excuses to abuse human beings.
You're a bad person.
You realize that's not what you're replying to, right? That suggesting lots of people are fighting fires doesn't actually advocate for slavery; right?

The post they're replying to is nitpicking. What difference does it make to this argument if only some of the firefighters are slaves? The point is that slave labor is being employed to avoid paying all the people fighting the fire a reasonable amount.
