    I just don’t see how being pro-enslavement and anti-genocide is a compatible viewpoint.

    Welllll, you can’t enslave people if they’re all dead, right?

      in pre-civil war full-tilt slavery USA, murdering enslaved people was considered a crime, not against humanity but against the slave owner’s “property.”

      so yeah pretty much

        Yep. Animals are also legally considered property, but at least they have some legal protection. Slaves had basically none.
