What if everything you get is 2cnd hand from good will or out of a dumpster?
I'm sure I wear something that is triggering to someone.
Some people have a lot of agency to help free slaves. Others are slaves themselves. I guess it depends on the subjective nature of slavery.
Most people work because they can't support themselves off the land. Essentially most workers in America are indentured to the corporations they work for, and have no agency in the matter. This is how slavery is propagated in a free market.
I'm not saying other systems of slavery are better, or that human hierarchies work without some form of slavery. I am saying if you want to be truly free you have to break your reliance on the state and your employer to keep you fed and safe.
If you buy into a power company here, or buy from whole foods, you are a slave to someone else. We all rely on the military. If we had a true frontier where you could move and build your own private infrastructure, create your own power. You might have the ability to free yourselves.
Until then, your life is incorporated through the United States of America, and you are hers.
