Again, shitting on anyone who has ever been a slave. Poverty can be used to oppress, as slavery was used to oppress, sure. That doesn't make them the same thing. It;s kind of amusing, because back in the day, the pro slavery side used to claim and imply that slaves would rather be slaves than be poor.........Now Cletus, if you leave this farm how will you pay your bills, how will you eat?
..I think they were wrong about that.
I've been paid shitty wages, and I've paid shitty wages...I have never been nor have I ever owned any slaves. We have to leave a little room for things to be themselves, to have identity, otherwise everything is everything and our comments on anything boil down to nothing.
Years ago, when I first came here and I was just starting out in being "the boss" in my own life, my own private business...I was a big "wage slave" guy.. (a quick post search would confirm, lol). I've since come to think that this is not representative and entirely disrespectful..even though I don't think much more of "wage slave" jobs or the situation that those people are in. It is undeniably a far, far cry from the reality of slavery...imo.
