Not sure why this got removed from 196lemmy…blahaj.zone but it would be real nice if moderation on Lemmy gave you some sort of notification of what you did wrong. Like an automatic DM or something

    Slavery wasn’t accepted. It was widely practiced but it was abolished (mostly) because people agreed it was wrong. Slaves didnt want to be slaves or see their status as slaves as morally good.

    Think about that for a moment.

    Not allowing women to participate in democracy is another example. Women fought against that and won.

    Extreme inequality is still all around us and we almost all agree that its wrong.

      Slavery went away because of technological advancement moreso than morality. Once you didn’t need hundreds of people to plant and harvest crops, slavery gets less popular.

      Slavery is as old as human history, people only agreed it was wrong relatively recently
