- One of many things I learned from @sethrockman.bsky.social's brilliant book Plantation Goods is how often enslavers referred to themselves as the slaves of their human property when they didn't demonstrate sufficient gratitude. A material and psychological foundation for current conditions.
- Can't be exaggerated: every bully believes themselves a victim. Even Hitler! Even US slave owners! It's part of the psychology. There is no amount of power or privilege that can ameliorate it.
