Thank you for this response. This was a surprisingly good analysis for a random post on the Internet.

I admit I myself have historical only really focused on the moral horror of it, and found myself wondering if I’d stay or leave the city if I found myself there. It easily maps onto real life- much of the comfort we enjoy is built on lightly hidden horrors like slave labor and other exploitation.

This second facet is also worth thinking about, though I don’t think it renders the other one moot.
