    They aren’t lying, we’re cattle to the ultra wealthy or owning class. No different than buying race horses. How much capital can we bring them set off by how much it costs for our upkeep.

      Reminded me of the time Elon’s mom told people on tv to have more babies because his son needed more workforce

      Yeah it’s basically like “what do you think of the random African kid that mined cobalt for your phone ?” We’re their African kid, they don’t think about us, they don’t consider us, they couldn’t care less about us. We’re barely ants to these people.

        Take a look at the plummeting rate of incarceration in the US over the last decade under Democrat administrations, especially with the legalization of marijuana, and then skyrocketing private prison population rates with the latest ICE campaign under the current administration. Then look at the 13th amendment and prison labor. Who’s donating toward and profiting from the current administrations human and Bill of Rights violations?
