The US find slavery perfectly acceptable - it's right there in the constitution

> Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

All you need to do is jail them and there is your slave workforce.

> [Our nation incarcerates more than 1.2 million people in state and federal prisons, and two out of three of these incarcerated people are also workers. But there are two crucial differences: Incarcerated workers are under the complete control of their employers, and they have been stripped of even the most minimal protections against labor exploitation and abuse. Nationally, incarcerated workers produce more than $2 billion per year in goods and more than $9 billion per year in services for the maintenance of the prisons.] (https://www.aclu.org/news/human-rights/captive-labor-exploitation-of-incarcerated-workers)

It's because a lot of the West still have a colonial attitude and it often comes out whenever a country gets too 'uppity' and no longer 'knows their place' - which according to a LOT of people on this sub is serving US geopolitical interests.

The hate always comes out whenever India does something in its own interest or according to its own ideals.

The US still thinks this is the 90s where their only geopolitical rival fell and countries have no other choice but join them or go alone. Many on the US government and their citizens (as shown on this sub) absolutely refuse to see the changing geopolitical landscape and the rising power giving the world an alternate to US hegemony.

Rather than trying to bring countries into the fold by offering better partnerships, the US is doing what the US has done for decades, trying to strong arm them and lecture them, while it's citizens disregard and make fun of the rising powers that are taking more and more of the US' geopolitical pie, believing the US is somehow uniquely powerful and can never fade.

Calling worldnews 'Pro-US' is like calling Russia a 'little bad'. Worldnews is essentially a propaganda arm of US foreign policy at this point.

Not everything that shows the West in a bad light is a Russian ploy meant to make the West look bad. Plenty of people in the Western world think of the developing world, not as independent nations with their own needs, but as subservient states of their own countries.

You deflecting blame and immediately blaming a targeted disconnected campaign is that same energy - the West can do no wrong. Rather than seeing the West as another country that looks out for its own geopolitical and national interests with its citizens also self-interested, it's the West that is the moral arbitrator and whenever they are shown in a bad light, it's someone else framing them.

It was a good portion of the major subs every time India did something that was in their interests and opposed to the wants of the US/West. It wasn't a minor group, it was a significant group of people who still saw India as a colony of the West who needed to be punished for not doing what the West wanted.

Let's be real. The US will never willingly allow India to overtake them as a superpower and the moment they start making strides in that direction, there will be something bad about them that the US and the Western world cannot stand and will need to engage in a trade war, be it a different type of government, different geopolitical interests, or even plain old racism.

India being reliant on Western goodwill given the history of that same 'goodwill' is just shooting themselves in the foot. India needs to remain more or less independent, and treat the Western world as a business partner, nothing more.

PS: [Here is how the US treats it's 'friends' when they become competition - Japan in the 80s] (https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/24/business/us-china-trade-war-japan-intl/index.html)

Yes, but the way they wanted to do it was the way they treated Iran - sanctions and threat of military force.

Na, you get the peace prize if you like bombing brown people.
