Right. No one is saying that putting people in a box is kidnapping/abduction because it is baldly ridiculous . However, it is the same exact logic as calling prison labor slavery.
If someone can tell me how prison labor is slavery, but putting them in a box is not kidnapping/abducting, I would be most edified.
I am claiming that putting someone in a box is abduction.
Whether or not the safety of society requires e.g. a violent criminal to be sequestered from that society is immaterial. Taking someone from the world and sticking them in a box is abduction.
> prison labor is slavery, but putting them in a box is not kidnapping/abducting
No one ever claimed this in this comment space. You are inventing a straw-man.
I am happy to vouch for the claim that prison labor is slavery and prison in general is coercive detention, ie, kidnapping, as are many others I'm sure.
In the comment you're replying to, I literally say "no one is saying this"
Why does prison labor get called slavery, but prison detention gets the euphemistic treatment of "coercive detention"? Why isn't prison labor "coercive labor"?
Arrest is kidnapping. When someone other than the state does the crime of imprisonment, that crime is "false imprisonment," so there doesn't seem to be a big divide between the language we use for the two things.
Totally unrelated to language issues, kidnapping and imprisonment are very harmful and people ought to exercise great care to do them very little.
I hear: "Slavery is never acceptable"
But then I also hear: "Sometimes locking someone in a box forever is acceptable"
I can't square those two viewpoints.
