    I feel like if you know more than zero people with “servants” you should be constantly striving to make it zero.

    It’s kind of fascinating but not surprising that people who have these “servants” justify it the same way old time US slavers did. As if the master is a father figure doing something nice for his little children.

    It’s a delusional logic that I think many actually believe. They create (or at least perpetuate) the conditions that bring upon slavery and then act like “I always bring my slaves with me on vacation. They must really love me!” It’s impressive how people can always write themselves as the good guy no matter what they do in life

        “Do you condemn the actions of John Brown?”

        Intense stare “Do I condemn the actions of John Brown?” momentary pause “I do not AND!.. I will tell you why.”

        That’s my written version of every time someone asks Finkelstein to condemn Hamas
