It’s a spectacularly poorly worded graphic, but in case you’re wondering, it’s about alleged abuse of modern slavery protections to artificially delay deportation, not a threat to enslave people:

I think the reality inspired the satire.

E.g. the (also very 1984) "SECURE BENEATH THE WATCHFUL EYES" poster from 2002:

And the banned 1997 Conservative election campaign posters:

The phrase "Secure beneath the watchful eyes" really reminds of the Techno-utopian poem "All watched over by machines of loving grace", it has the same bold wrong-headed naive optimism in a higher power able to keep us safe, like a security blanket.

Whether it be Hateful 8, Scarfolk, Simpsons, Life of Brian, 1984, or Brave New World, doesn't reality always inform the satire?

"Modern slavery system" is hilarious, but even more worrying is claim that one might ever lose the modern society's protrection against being enslaved under some conditions.

Admittedly, their modern system is a huge improvement over v1

Quote: “Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colors”

Hmm, cute but I think all this talk of wage slavery kind of downplays the horror of the original.

I mean I don't like getting up in the morning either, but really?

It also downplays the horrors of current slavery that people are subject to around the world.

“But you were duly convicted in a court of law…”

Wow. Nor “spurious human rights claims”.

Wow. I thought your quoted sentence would be a rephrasing, but it's what he's literally endorsing. Disgusting.

The irony…
