excuse me for not defining "slave trade" . i meant this industrial circuit we grow up in where schools and universities produce robots, where laws are in place telling you "right" from "wrong," and most people are ignorant to the fac that they are being used as fuel to power this piece of shit system we call a modern industrial society.
