I’ve said this since I was a small child, that we are all little more than slaves.
Of course we are not chattel slaves, treated as literal cattle that can be beaten or killed. But wage slavery is very similar
Our options are 60 years of forced labor or starving to death in the cold.
We are constantly propagandized that we are ‘free’ yet we will spend a vast majority of our waking life toiling
The only freedom we have is we are free to starve and freeze to death whenever we want
I’ve read multiple accounts of real chattel slaves saying wage slavery was in fact worse, because they were still toiling but they now had to worry about rent and food.
Frederick Douglass wanted to abolish wage slavery after he was freed. Yet people get offended when I say wage slavery is horrific.
So am I wrong for considering myself a form of slave since I will be forced to work until I die?
