Everyone here needs to seriously step back and consider the immense benefits this will eventually have. Our world will become a better one when we don't have fucking slaves in factories working for little pay in shitty conditions repeating the same task over and over for God knows how many hours. It's better this way.

Yes, in China those slaves will move on to better things, like eating bamboo as they are forced to become tentless or homeless. Much better, but at least they will be free.

TL;DR: "We shouldn't free slaves, because they won't know what to do with themselves when we do."
