    Frederick Douglass, arguing for unity among black and white laborers in 1883, said that “experience teaches us that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other.”

      Oh shit well I sure hope people organize in the 19th century and stop the things that were actual oppression.

      Douglass was still supporting what I’m saying tho, which is that calling yourself a slave because you have a job is incorrect. Also Douglass would shit his pants if a wealthy white landowner complained about being “in slavery.”

        If you don’t think that economic slavery is real and exists in modern society, there’s no point in further conversation.

        It must be awful to base your personality on outrage.

        I hope it gets better for you.

        Edit: , then*

          No, awful is when clowns horribly misquote history and fail to realize how stupid they are . . .

            It’s…a direct quote. I’m not sure how shittalking me is providing any worth to the conversation. Please make one statement supporting your position with information rather than criticism.
