It's almost like governments and the powerful let something fester for so long that they can then use it as a cudgel against you.
Privacy. Online identify. Security. Increased border patrol power. Surveillance. Bank records. Crypto.
HT is very real, of course. Way too real.
If you want to end it... Those tactics above are not the answers.
I'd like to offer a list of a few...
Changes that might make a dent.
You end it through awareness and prevention education. (Requires dramatic financial and societal commitment.)
You end it by defunding broken parts of the police industrial complex and spending that money on victim services and intervention. (This also requires significant education.)
You end it by prosecuting military members and police officers and others that perpetuate the problem. (Details on this one are disturbing, but let's just say one example is victims of human trafficking that are being prostituted against their will are constantly raped while they wear their uniforms.)
You end it by changing the ENTIRE social safety net. (This requires UNbrainwashing the entire population about "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps." Which is impossible.)
You end it by actually creating legislation to prosecute the correct people. ("How" is a huge debate, but the goal is correct.)
You end it by prosecuting MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS that benefit from it. (The computer device you're reading this from is built by slavery in its supply chain.)
You end it by stopping the endless wars. (Is this not obvious? Do you know how many children are rounded up into "orphanages," and mysteriously disappear?" Do you know how many child soldiers are created by these wars?)
You end it by creating better refugee solutions. (Cutting funding just makes it worse, and that's what we're doing.)
You end it by shutting down the IMF. (They destroy economies which create disparities that result in direct trafficking or worse.)
You end it by helping migrants. (There are cultural norms where people have one child to sell so they can survive.)
You end it by completely dismantling and replacing child protective services and the foster care system. (The numbers and statistics linking the foster care system with trafficking and abuse are legion.)
I could go on and on.
So why aren't those being done? Guesses? I'll posit because it does NOT benefit the Oligarchy to change any one of those.
