And sorry, if you capture me and enslave me, I will happily kill the slave master, his spawn and as much of his society as I can manage. I can’t really fault the participants in the rebellion. It’s a new height of arrogance to fault the enslaved for rebelling a bit too violently.

I agree.

But this time the slave-masters have done it by taking $20 trillion in your name, promised against your (and you children's) future work via taxes (which are compulsory) and then excusing themselves by saying that it's not involuntary servitude because by electing officials you are submitting yourself to their authority.

I was thinking more in personal terms, rather than going Nat Turner because the government debt is so obscene. I think I might just vote Trump instead. I was thinking what one might do if captured, and taken to Saudi Arabia where they were then worked worked as a slave. If you could manage it, how violent would you be as you killed your master, and moved to free others?

I can’t fault the rebel slaves.
