“Just be happy with your chains or someone else will put heavier ones on you”
Great quote. Emotional fear porn is how so much is justified and sold to people. Fear is an incredibly strong motivator. Nothing new is achieved and no progress is made by cowering in the chains you find yourself in and thinking it’s too risky to try to break free, lest your jailor punish you, or you find a new jailor down the road.
When did my brothers and sisters spirits become so broken that they lack any will to fight in even the most meager ways for their own liberty?
Better to have no lords at all and to govern oneself.
But if there must be self-proclaimed lords and masters, then better to have them be known and near and less empowered by large state sized apparatus, so there is hope to change them, hold them accountable or challenge them directly, rather than so many layers of beuracracy and thugs doing their bidding by proxy that the mountain looks unsurmountable to the individual.
I will take feudal lords instead of the slave system we have today.
Feudalism was less oppressive than what we have today

"if the lord needed military service or financial aid beyond
what was specifically owed by his vassals, his only recourse
was to ask them for a voluntary grant. He had no right to tax
or assess them arbitrarily, for his authority in such matters was
determined by feudal contract."
That’s an oxymoron. The feudal lords would just be a different type of slave system… but at least they’re your lords, huh?

Unlike you, I am not a coward. If I see injustice, as with today’s slave system, I will do something about it regardless of your fear propaganda.

Well said, the system has arranged itself with a multitude of layers with the untouchable pigs sitting on top.
These commie cucks from lemmy.world are total slave minded clowns.
