Indeed! Piss on their backs and call it rain. Use them like toilet paper and
tell them its chocolate. "Its for your own good (I exploit you)"! "Don't
make me beat you up"! I must find the historical list of all the reasons
slavery was justified.

If you were weak or stupid, would you want to be exploited or educated? Do
you advocate allowing predators freedom to exploit others? By what standard
you judge, you will be judged. And with what measure ye mete out 'justice',
'justice' shall be meted unto you. If you want to play by the laws of the
jungle, dominating and degrading with force and deception, don't be
surprized if sowing such seed reaps a harvest of violence.
