    Repeat after me: “owning people is bad.”

    That’s all there is to it. The rest is just how much evil you are stacking up on top of the base evil.

    • Owning them as farm equipment? Bad
    • Owning people for house work? Bad
    • Deciding how to breed them and tearing apart their families for profit? Bad
    • Bearing them as you see fit? Bad

    None of this is good, no matter the post hoc rationalizations nor arguments from your religious texts (see: bible’s Exodus and other passages).

    Trying to make slavery seem good in any way means you’re bad for even trying.
