the truth is ALL peoples of this Earth had slaves.  the first ones were las Femmes.  grrrls were bot and sold.
maybe because they were smaller weaker and died in childbirth too many.  extra wives were worth a large price. AND they could hardly resist....unless they were olde tougher and not scared. 12-14 was the most valued.
    In AFrica today the Ibo hate the Hausa, i Nigeria, Lagos, and nearby Benin, Cameroon, Senegal...they fought.
not unlike the Irogouis nation fought the Hurons. Or up Mtn  to Ruanda the Tutsi controlled the more numerous Hutu, until the massacres began a few years ago. today in the South Side of Chicago is pratically a shooting gallery...with some advanced weapons beig used. Black on Black for the Drug zones. They all would take slaves after victories...and so war creaated slavery. sexism also. xenophobia and different languages. cities were crushed in ancient times and religions were begun by slave owners.  Solomon had 1500 concubines. David beat that with 3,000, and those poor angels were not volunteers were they?
    our guilt trip should be over. Amerdricans changed our style as capital made slaves of everyone except the
overseers and the Duke and barons robber or not of the plantation factories.
but now: now we are a democracy. if we can keep it.  and we have laws. those laws are being broken even wiped out. murder is murder and thou shalt not kill.  we hardly kill even serial killers convicted and put in jails for life.  the idea is to NOT KILL.  but fascism obliterates those fine ideas for a right to kill because the overseers are woking for the elites who pay them and arm them and give them permission..because a nation living in fear and doubt and under stress will stay the fucking stupid staus quo and persist in semi-slavery and indentered servitude to a brain deqad ideal which became useless long  ago.
    eliminate racism. ALL lives matter. and then look again at the system with your own eyes. you will see it looks more like a class war. but then it is not either, really: it is a war of hanging on to power perpetrated by the Undead Past upon the Unborn Future. strands of monarchy along with bullying and Chauvinism (to use a current name in vogue) and vitorism, and Capitalism (everyone's whipping boy) are protecting a system that will kill human existence on this planet probably, even as they might be wishing to eliminate only 90% of the rest of us...since they have managed to claim buy or take title to the entirety of land and ideas and what they call property.
    Capital is the capture, of the heads--cap = head in some ancient tongue--and the head of state put his head upon every coin he ever had minted...the capture of the ideas of ambitious experimental curious hard-working and Typical Human efforts we also designate with another foreign word: entrepreeurship.

    we need to change everything.  methane is escaping and if it does it will heat us up so much we won't want to live here anyway.  plant plankton of the oceans produces o70% of all oxygen....forget about the Amazon,,,and if that goes under due to acidification by CO2 falling into the seas. if methane melts fron under the seas where it has been built up for eons in an icy gel or if it escapes from the Tundra together that will drive up temperatures to over 100 F. as the new normal. 

listen to the kids: they know it. Great Greta.  and millions more of us who know....must overcome this eternal plot of human selfishness.  what we need now is common knowledge and common action for a common wealth of homme et femme.  as free as a benign Nature will allow us.

beware the cops until we can begin to disarm and retrain them as EMT's and public servants. it is a high calling and some force of empire has turned it from live to evil.
