I’m curious what your thoughts are on this highly controversial topic of
voluntary slavery. Yes, voluntary slavery. Someone chooses of their own

whether there is a gov)? Is that even a ridiculous question to ask? Fire
away!

Voluntary slavery, in theory, is the condition of slavery entered into at a point of voluntary consent. It is distinguished from involuntary slavery where an individual is forced to a period of servitude usually as punishment for a crime. In practice, however, the term is often a euphemism used to hide conditions of slavery which are, in fact, less than completely voluntary. Some believe that in ancient times, this was a common way for impoverished people to provide subsistence for themselves or…

We still “allow” hundreds of thousands folks to volunteer for the #USgovt military under which they sacrifice their God-given dignity, right to life, free choice, sanity, & are required to literally WORSHIP the #USgovt/state & a multicolored piece of tissue over respecting their own lives, the lives of others & even their own family members, & bow down to orders which many full well realize are criminally fraudulent LIES. Many #USgovt AA slaves at least had the presence of mind & dignity to seek & succeeded in escaping to their freedom even though it meant they would become felonious criminals under #USgovt law. Most active & retired #USgovt soldiers still today, 2021, act as if the #USgovt military is their GOD, à la some bloody cult & pretend that a discharge by some often cowardly pompous megalomaniac sociopaths is tantamount to hell on Earth or the unthinkable; most AA slaves at least wanted & dreamed of being free.
