It's a modified form of slavery: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery
'The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass initially declared "now I am my own master", upon taking a paying job.[31] However, later in life he concluded to the contrary, saying "experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other".'
The 4chan term is "wagecuck".
As fucked in the head as 4chan is they come up with some funny ass words
Also wage slave and wagie lol
only a little less galling
That hits different coming from a former chattle slave
B-b-but in Epic Rap Battles of History, Frederick Douglass said, "The face of a free man, taught himself to read, man", what do you mean he still felt like a slave in a wage system??
