Okay hate on capitalism, fair enough
But equating it to literal slavery like we've had in the past (and still have in some parts of the world) seems problematic to me
What literal slavery? The pyramids weren’t built with slave labor.
There's a dude with a whip in the picture, so it seems like the artist believes it was slave labor
It’s a common misconception.
