Slavery didn't stop, it just modernized.

Thanks for the video. I just started my channel back in 2021 like you man. It feels like talking to an empty room at first. But if you keep doing it, you will find people that will love your message and watch your videos. Wishing you the very best.

Definitely man, that's how I started but I'm honestly comfortable with it now. Good luck with your channel too!

It's really all summed up by this rather simplistic question which is: Do you have the freedom to quit your job and live as you would like to? Almost everyone's answer to that question is no. We're reliant upon the paycheck from a corporation that relies upon the collection of workers yet us as individuals are replaceable. The average American makes enough to pay his bills and nothing much is left over to preserve for future uses. We are unfortunately slaves to our apparent needs.

Not that working is inherently bad, in fact I believe it's good but it has to be justified and it can't be taken for granted by your employer. For example, making art can be a hard job. It requires commitment and focus to a certain piece of music, painting, film or whatever type of art you create but it's not something that's replicable to anyone. If an artist dies, no one is making their art and replacing him or her. If a cashier dies, their shift is filled immediately.

That's where I firmly believe that making a living out of your passion is necessary. We truthfully are all replaceable until we make ourselves not. Being in a corporate job, have someone dictate my time and income infuriates me honestly. But with people like you bring a humbling perspective of how hard life can be within this corporate society, it really just gives me hope still that eventually I myself, will be able to break away from that by continuing to make these videos. Even if it doesn't make me a fortune, I simply look for the freedom of making these videos with my imagination at work. I wish that you find what you're looking for as well man. You seem like a good person. 🖤

@@f8-dezmy only problem with making a living out of your passion is that capitalism also has a real way with corrupting that very thing you love. I’ve been really struggling with that lately.

[@JohnSmith-vm8rx]

Yes slavery modernized to feudalism then to capitalism.

[@kaycmendes]

Now it's more like techno-feudalism posing as capitalism

[@melanegatona]

I understand you. I hope you get the freedom we are all searching in life.

[@f8-dez]

@@melanegatona thank you, you too , we all deserve the life we want.

[@en2p187]

It's all hopes but everything is in cycles. We've got to work for what we want. Not necessarily in only one straightfoward way.

Ill admit, i clicked on this video because of the background

[@f8-dez]

@@melu0o bro honestly, that's why I try going for sometimes. Thanks. 😂

I like this style of video and I understand your feelings of stagnation and such, but I would say the title of the video and your claim that "we're all slaves" is almost an insult to the horrors of slavery, and it comes off a bit overdramatic. There is a way to speak on the problems in our society and in your life without saying "slavery didn't stop" which is really just an intellectually lazy way of viewing it.

Yeah wage labor and exploitation. Read Das Kapital
