 Matt Walsh: "It took like thousands of years for it to ever even occur to a single human on earth that slavery is actually, fundamentally wrong."

Me: "Matt, people are STILL okay with slavery, and don't even realize that they are slaves!"

 IDK, I’m sure it occurred to many slaves, just no one wrote down their words for them…

 Every single person who votes themselves "free" stuff is supporting slavery.  They are forcing other people to work and not receive the benefit so they can receive the benefit and not work.  They are acting as slave owners, but they use government as their proxy so they can feel good about stealing from others.
