Slavery is any system under which societal roles as ‘property’ are imposed on humans. It is usually regarded as a form of unfree labour. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation. In some historical situations it has been legal for owners to kill slaves.

No one is holding any of us against our will, we have the right to leave our jobs, our homes, our country, and go to another place of our choice at any time.

We have the right to refuse to work.

We have the right to demand compensation (payment) for our work, indeed we even have the right to demand payment for not working.

It is illegal for anyone to kill us.

We are not slaves by any stretch of the imagination. We are people who live by the rules of the society of our choosing, if we don’t like the society we are in we are free to move to another societal structure of our choosing. If you rise up and break down this society we live in today, another will rise up in its place. Will it be better? We have modern day examples in South Africa and Zimbabwe to name just two.

Please drop all this crap about us being slaves, it is an insult to those who truly were slaves and still are today.

Wake up for GOD sake woman.

I am wide awake thank you, I have made my choices in life, they were made freely, and I am still free to change my mind. I’m not the one whining about it, I am happy with my choices for I have seen the alternatives and I didn’t care for them much. That’s not say there isn’t room for improvement, of course there is, but that gives me something to strive for.

Rant away in your own deluded little world but if you can’t see that if you break down one societal structure it will be replaced with another, possibly worse than the one left in its wake, and if you can’t see the freedom that you do have, then you’ll stay in that deluded little bubble ranting away to yourself for the rest of your life.

Go look up the history of slavery, the slavery that exist today despite it being illegal in most countries, the stories of people who have been captured (stolen) or sold into slavery and the lives they have led, indeed may still be leading, then tell us we’re slaves, that you’re a slave, that you don’t have any freedom. You have more than many in this so-called civilised world can even begin to dream about and you can’t even take a moment to appreciate it.
