I watched Sound of Freedom and it was a good movie, but everytime I watch or read something about human trafficking/modern slavery it really angers me because I think of all the kids that could have been saved if the mainstream media shined the light on that topic instead of glorifying lgbt causes, made up racial grievances, or feminist cyrbabies to name a few. When it comes to open borders I do feel there is an agenda to flood western countries with the third world or replace the dominant population (whether it is the WEF, Bildebergs, CFR, Club of Rome, etc.) but I do think another aspect of it is human trafficking because they use kids and pretend to be their parents which was why they had that separation done that the media went crazy about (kids in cages). Add in all those conspiracy theories regarding elites and pedophilia and there is quite a bit of smoke.
As for the modern day slavery thing, I remember I asked a guy who was lecturing me about American slavery why he doesn't focus his energy on donating or volunteering for organizations that help victims of human trafficking/modern day slavery. He told me I was deflecting and didn't want to acknowledge America's past. I just shook my head and walked away.
I know a lot of people involved in the fight against human trafficking of various kinds that are both as left as you can get and on the right. The weirder part of the lefty efforts, much like everything, is that they actively try to shit on the right’s efforts of directly helping people and putting deterrents in place for people trafficking folks. Although I love her to death, a literal conversation I had with one lefty girl about that is that although she hadn’t seen the film, her colleagues all said it’s just promoting a fantasy that you can help these kids, and that the real answer is basically to fight capitalism. That the net result will make things worse for kids because it’ll pull efforts away from fighting capitalism. Keep in mind the film’s based on a true story and she knows that.
She’s a smart, talented, and wonderful human being that actually works with Biden himself in person and all else at times. I feel really bad for thinking that all her well meaning efforts have been sabotaged by that toxic mindset. I’m sure she’s probably helped more than she’s hurt, but still, it’s painful to think about for me.
I can see why a leftist would blame capitalism. Sad that she thinks that why. I’ve known some leftists who have good hearts but genuinely think a politician can wave a magic wand and solve everyone’s problems or think that “free stuff” is the answer. Like you said I’ve known those who do work in food pantries and volunteer so I appreciate that but I wish they didn’t see socialism as some magical solution
The sad truth is that there will always be some people that are poor. Out here we have a lot of homeless, and they’re not homeless because capitalism wronged them. They’re usually homeless because they’re crazy or addicted to drugs. Giving them money doesn’t solve that, and neither does giving poor girls money save them from being sold into sex slavery.
If we shot more of the people selling people into sex slavery, and put their heads on pikes, I guarantee you selling people into sex slavery will go down more than giving poor people free stuff. As a bonus, you shot actual human traffickers. Not one person will be surprised or miss them.

Here's a thought: maybe if she supported capitalism by starting a business, she could employ these people and they wouldn't need her charity?
True. The local food pantry in my county is good but I’ve heard that very complaint. They don’t see business that way or they don’t realize how all the regulations they want to impose affects small businesses
What the fuck does she think capitalisms is?
Have you asked her? Does she even know?
Capitalism, the term, was invented by Marx. Is she honestly a Marxist who thinks that child trafficking will end if we are all good little socialists?
Ask her: "If you Marxists are content with letting thousands of kids get raped every night to bring about the Workers' Revolutions, what will you do to stay in power?"
Neo Marxists are unironically evil. Calling her one of Stalin's Useful Idiot's is too kind.
We’ve tried talking about capitalism and it didn’t go well. She said it’s all exploitation. She’s a client that pays me and I asked her if she thought she was exploiting me. She said that’s different.
Like a lot of people, she seems to believe things mostly based on who believes it and their credentials.
She thinks with her feelings.
