If slavery was legal... would you keep a slave ?

@HumanEarth Has that history affected you in any way today?

@HumanEarth slaves were of all colours the romans sold many slaves regardless of their origin

@LeopoldBloom Yes I am still a slave of the government. I pay taxes

@HumanEarth In the United States it was the difference between chattel slavery (with the classification of "3/5ths of a human being") vs indentured servitude, with eventual freedom

@HumanEarth You’re not a slave, you don’t pay taxes for nothing. You pay taxes because government set up the system and infrastructure that allowed you to make money in the first place. You rightfully owe taxes to the government that helped you get where you are today.

@HumanEarth Nobody's making you stay here. You could emigrate to any number of countries where you wouldn't be taxed. Try rural Africa. Slaves can't just pick up and leave the way you can. Calling yourself a slave is insulting to actual slaves.

Instead, you take advantage of all of the benefits and amenities you enjoy here courtesy of the government and businesses that only exist because of the government, but don't want to pay for it. You're basically a toddler.

You said your ancestors were slaves, but didn't answer when I asked how that has impacted your life today. Apparently, it left you with a victimization fetish.

@LeopoldBloom Why you getting so upset over it? What if I'm too poor to leave because I'm over taxed. Oh and How I can I leave this country without being tracked and spied on.

So again we are slaves

@HumanEarth If you’re so poor that you don’t make enough money, you don’t actually pay any taxes.

Well its against the law to homeless. They kill in the USA with force vaccination if homeless so you slowly die with some cancer.

You can't say no vaccines and be free. Because your a dangerous human.

@HumanEarth It is not against the law to be homeless.
Ironically, if it were, the homeless would instantly be given shelter, if only via incarceration. Some acts like public defecation, aggressive panhandling and sleeping on the street, are what is illegal. For years I volunteered at a shelter that provided beds, meals and facilities for bathing, washing clothes and using the restroom.

@HumanEarth This is crazy tripe
