Right-wing ideology consists out of a very limited selection of lies used to justify the power and privilege of a small elite - they vary the wording on it to suit a new target audience, but it’s always the same lies. There is nothing Ben Shapiro can say that I didn’t hear Apartheid-ideologues say back in the 80s - it’s just the surface details that vary. It’s pretty much the only thing there is to right-wing politics, really.

So it’s just “we can’t abolish slavery because it will hurt all the poor slave-owners” but modernized.
I would argue that it’s not even modernized. It’s just the same argument.
