Its weird to imagine slavery starting. Like it just seems like this default part of the American inheritance. But like no, someone had to begin it. To conceive it. Plan it. Execute it. Iterate. Optimize.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/slavery-capitalism.html …
I was learning some javascript and react code over the weekend and i feel like i can kind of understand how people could create a genocide machine just by writing facebook code. When everything is so abstracted, it doesnt mean anything.
“Never allow any slave to lock or unlock any door.” What does it mean? Nothing. Its just code. Just code.
Witnessing the horrors of slavery drilled into poor white workers that things could be worse. American freedom became broadly defined as the opposite of bondage. It was a freedom that understood what it was against but not what it was for; a malnourished and mean kind of freedom.
Thinkin abt how modern work culture is inherited from plantation management as i listen to the Energy Gang podcast. The manufacturing supply chain for the Vineyard Wind project Trump shut down comes from Louisiana. The fossil fuel economy will be history’s next slave trade.

Carbon is the new slave trade. A legacy paradigm incompatible with humanity’s future, whose inevitable decline entrenched interests will do everything they can to thwart, but end it will.
