Slavery is horrible. Trying to represent one form or another as worse is kind of missing the point.

Slavery was, and actually still is. It’s a legal status among men that has existed throughout recorded history. Historically, it’s actually been regarded as humane, compared to the competing practice of slaughtering conquered peoples wholesale.

So, some perspective is in order. Would I want to be a slave? Hell no. Was it a walk in the park for those enslaved? Hell no.

Better than you and your family being wiped from the face of the earth, however.
