What makes you think you wouldn't be a slave? Slaves aren't slaves by choice, if slavery were legal, it's because they'd make a certain group of people or something some way work for free using either coercion or force.
But to answer your question, no I wouldn't have slaves. Partially because being physically and intellectually lazy doesn't seem like a good way to go.
If I was a forced slave, not by choice, for someone, I'd slowly poison them over time or something.

@SatanBurger well in a society where slavery is accepted just not wanting a slave doesnt protect you from slavery either

@SisterShadow I literally said that any of us can be slaves, that's what I meant. Not sure I know what you mean.

@SatanBurger there's tons of people who are physically and intellectually lazy without slavery, lol. And, of course, vice versa. Not sure how you made that connection.

@calabaciteh I know but both can be true equally, what you said and what I said. Not sure what your point was as you seem to agree with me but low key want to argue.
In relation to the original question, only lazy people want slaves. I'm sorry but when slavery was first around, you can't tell me upper class people want to toil away in hot fields for 16 hours at a time. We had slaves because it's simply easier if you have the power and money to force people to do stuff you don't want to do yourself.

@SatanBurger do you want to toil away in hot fields for 16 hours a day?
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@calabaciteh No but I wouldn't force slaves to do it for me. If I had to, I would. I've worked for 16 hours daily, three days a week for three years. And on my days off I drove GoPuff delivery for 3 hours daily. That's all because I needed money to save.
If I had to have people pick something I would treat it like any other job.
In an ideal world, I would have harnessed technology and fixed poverty already with simple actions so that people wouldn't have to do things like that in many other parts of the world but this is not an ideal world.
A lot of poverty is man made due to generational poverty of historical events, colonization, corruption, bad political policies and religious theocracies, dictatorships etc. So understand that slavery comes from manmade problems in the first place.

@SatanBurger Right, so by your logic you would also be one of the lazy ones.
You would only do it if you "had to", for some reason, yet you don't really have to do anything.
I think the idea that "fixing poverty is simple, really, we just haven't got around to doing it yet", is borderline conspiratorial thinking at best. Actively ignorant of economics at worst.
