        Slavery? Don’t bait and switch me. You said Marshall law.

        Slavery is part of the human condition. Africans did it too. Google Firestone sometime. We humans seem to constantly make the mistake that we’re too good to enslave eachother, while we go on enslaving eachother, and… pretend no one is, even in a country it doesn’t exist(totally does) in.

        This doesn’t get into whether or not you’re in the camp that the entire idea of money is just slavery with a fake sense of autonomy, but I guess that depends on the point you want to make and how you season it.

        Actually, if you wanted to make that argument, you could say that all of human society is thanks to some form of slavery.

        …when you put it like that, yikes, guys.
