In the early days I built a steak house with a cow crusher on the roof, and I would lure them up there and flip the switch. And my friend would laugh on open mic as the hoppers and chests filled up with beef and leather, while hearing screaming cows. Customer: I'd like a porkchop please. [pig squeel] Me: There you go.

[@gamersunbeaten]

The amazing part about slavery is, how North African Islamic countries still treat blacks as "less than".

[@smalltimeprepper4885]

I just talked about this on my channel. This is why the USA needs to stay vigilant

[@SamBrockmann]

@smalltimeprepper4885 , in a perfect world, every country in the world outlaws Islam. It is a backwards, barbaric, violent religion.

[@luwi8125]

The pedophile called Africans "raisin heads" and saw them as lesser people than Arabs.

[@user-nu8in3ey8c]

Most blacks that were sold on that slave trade were captured and sold by Muslim African Tribes. They were not captured by the Europeans. They likely would have been slaves even without European presence, sadly.

[@boobah5643]

That seems more 'racism' than 'slavery.' Though I'll certainly admit the topics are not unrelated.

[@suddendeath6959]

This is the ONLY show I actually want to see a commercial in, glad you guys finally getting played for your amazing effort.

[@ThraintarIronshield]

While the anime/manga "Fullmetal Alchemist" does not have huge overtones of slavery, the overlying theme is that there are those who would do evil things in the name of "Science" and "Religion." I highly recommend Fullmetal Alchemist to anyone who is curious about anime.

[@Destroyer4700]

What a coincidence I was just building my first (legitimate) Iron Golem farm. Also yes, I was raised playing Minecraft. Also Iron Golem farms are relatively easy. Here is a list of the bad to worst farms to make in survival mode: 1. Sea Lantern (Guardian) Farm 2. Gold (Zombie Pigmen) Farm (Though it does look like a cool UFO after you're done) 3. Wither Skeleton Farm (This is horrible! I also have a video on my channel of what a completed one should look like)

[@gamersunbeaten]

I'll check out the video!

[@leslienordman8718]

Brilliant episode! Thanks! Aristotle once placed a slave to his right and a hammer to his left. "This is a slave and this is a hammer. The slave can talk, the hammer cannot. That is the only difference."

[@JoyPeace-ej2uv]

One reason I think nothing and never of Aristotle.

[@boobah5643]

The word 'talk' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

[@jackfroste]

Slavery never ended...anywhere. It never even slowed down. We just call it Human Trafficking now. Great show Chris.

[@PeterDanielBerg]

i feel like minecraft doesn't particularly abhor or endorse the faustian pact of progress so much as it makes everything into a means to an end. every piece of ancillary minecraft media like story mode and legends depicts the player as someone who comes into the minecraft world from somewhere else instead of arising out of it, and so the world is man's dominion to tame and use, and the value of anything is what it can do for you. yeah the little guys suffer when they're stuck on a spiderweb of floating beds but that suffering never comes back to hit steve mechanically, steve's not from here, steve just works here. steve is just making numbers go up because the only alternatives are being a vagabond or not playing.

[@gamersunbeaten]

[@Erewhon2024]

Sugarcane was more common in the Caribbean. It can be grown in Florida, but that wasn't part of the USA until pretty late, and in the Coastal Plain of Louisiana. Southern USA slavery was mostly about cotton after the cotton gin was invented, though more diverse crops (rice, tobacco, indigo, etc) were grown less profitably beforehand.

[@boobah5643]

Sugarcane, however, was much, much worse on the people stuck harvesting it. The sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean had to constantly import new slaves, because the work (at least the way they did it) killed them too fast. Meanwhile, the population in the Cotton Belt kept growing even after the US banned importing slaves.

[@hgec]

I think that "interests above facts" is the rule that determines. People always twist the facts of life to the way they want to see them. You can see it beautifully on the political map, how different people interpret reality in a radically different way from one another.

[@gamersunbeaten]

Thank you good sir!

[@OverlordShamala]

The nothing is a religious claim. The universe as it seems existed in a different state before expanding (not exploding) to what we see today.

[@theWarVet]

@@OverlordShamala The big bang theory is a religion.. your right about that.. science has become one too for many.. (I used to be a science disciple as well.. also refuted anything not proven imperically.) Though decades of so-called "coincidences" have helped me see through that fog of youth. Much more is going on down here than 99% of the population have a clue of.. or even care to. (It's how a small few control so many.)

[@OverlordShamala]

@@theWarVet All I got from you is, you don't know what a religion is & probably you don't know what's science for you to conflate them. And... never said anything that the big bang theory is a religion. Putting words in my mouth? Why? I should have clarified a bit more, the 'everything came from nothing' claim is uttered by fundamentalist Christians, then they project it on other people. Science has not become a religion for no one. How did you come up with that? Science posits explanations for a natural observed phenomenon, based on objective evidence. If there is evidence that puts that explanation into question, that explanation will be discarded & a new one will be posited that will take into account not only the old evidence, but the new evidence as well. Science is always testing their old explanations again & again when new evidence is discovered. Always asking questions. Science advances & we often take advantage to create things. Like computer or laptop, you use to demonize science. Science in the end is a tool that can allow us to create things or find new medicine to cure a disease, but man is known for misusing tool & ergo, we have atom bombs. Religion works like this… it pontificates & preaches proclamations, it demands these proclamations be accepted by faith alone, no questions asked or the loving god will cast you to hell for all eternity. God will utter a commandment not to kill, & in the next breath command his followers to kill people not like them. Now, you think science is a religion... maybe the problem is you & you're simply projecting your beliefs on other people. I don't know what decades of 'coincidences' you are talking about. You didn’t give an example, so it sounds like a red-herring.

We need to time travel and bring back the British Empire so they can declare war on the world to ban slavery again.

[@jimluebke3869]

Hillary Clinton's decisions led to the resurgence of the slave trade in Libya -- Ghaddafi had suppressed it, and the chaos following his end saw it flourish. Joe Biden's border policies lead to the enslavement of migrants, as they have to work off their debts in brothels or gangs.

In the same way that a gun does not kill on its own neither does religion nor science bring forth harm on their own.

[@bobalicious2696]

I disagree. Playing God with viruses, and subsequently being careless, tends to kill millions of people.

[@thearpox7873]

I think the big advantage scientific horrors have over those caused by religion, is that scientific advancements built upon one another, while the arrays of religious ultra-fundamentalists trying to bring about nirvana are largely interchangeable. As for the role of Christianity in outlawing slavery, I do think that it is as Chris pointed out, a case of changing morality and finding justifications for whatever is most sensible at the time.

[@gamersunbeaten]

Is that an advantage though? The CCP is advancing organ transplant techniques and technology but it’s by massacring innocent people like Uyghurs and Falun Gong practitioners and harvesting their organs. That might advance science but at the expense of humanity.

[@thearpox7873]

@@gamersunbeaten Advantage in the Chinese sense of interesting maybe? There's something new every century. But hey, you sort of have the silver lining that sane countries can then take those advancements and use them for something good. I was thinking more about the two headed dog experiments though, lobotomy, and that lovely German doctor whose name started on M. What the Chinese are doing is less science and more its industrial application, which is yeah, rather horrifying.

[@thearpox7873]

@@gamersunbeaten Maybe an advantage in the Chinese sense of the word interesting? You never get bored with something new every century, and later societies can learn and benefit from them. Though with the honeylovers, I think we're talking less scientific horror and more industrial ones.

The reason slavery is used is because it is cheaper than paying wages. It also in some cases simultaneously fulfills the purpose of punishment and economic production.

[@user-nu8in3ey8c]

Obviously those reasons do not make it ethical.

[@boobah5643]

If by 'wages' you include things like making the job safe enough that someone would willingly do it absent being compelled by deadly force. And it's still questionable because preventing (and, when that fails, putting down) slave revolts gets pretty expensive.

Employment is a kind of willing slavery. You trade your time for a wage and have no control of either your time or the money you're paid. Of course, if you don't like the terms of your enslavement, you can always sell yourself to a different slave owner, I mean corporation.

I wish you dove more in the way Christianity help put an end to slavery.

[@gamersunbeaten]

I was concerned about time, footage, and audience interest. I could go into that a lot but I don’t know if people would watch. Dominion is a pretty decent book, but even if you look at the Bible, you’ll see a radically different view of slavery compared to the ancient world. Consider the story of Hagar. Yahweh appears to her at one point and she’s kind of blown away that He knows her name. This doesn’t hit modern people the way it would have to the original listeners of this story. The gods dealt with the elite, the kings and emperors. They had no time or interest in the ordinary man. But here we have a runaway female slave, basically the lowest thing you could be in the ancient world, and God appears before her and knows her name. It was unthinkable. This was the beginning of a cultural shift that took millennia, but that did ultimately lead to a rejection of slavery.

[@MatthewSchellenberg]

There's only so much you can say in 10 minutes. Plus this is a very secular audience. I wouldn't mind a 3 hour interview to delve into your Theology

[@Sys-Edit0r-1995]

Im a Christian myself, and personally I think Catholicism put a bad mark on Christ's teachings. Adding some much extra shit, and not having the bible in a common language. Martin Luther was Based!

[@boobah5643]

Yes, let's go for the Protestants and their belief in the Bible as exact holy writ, who then promptly translated the book into every vulgar tongue. I'm not saying Luther was wrong, mind. I'm just saying it's weird that the group who didn't hold the Bible as the whole of their religion held the book constant (don't talk to me about iotas!) while the group that did immediately splintered the Good Book into a multitude of variations.
