Quote by: Morality Games  And I would argue that the morality of slavery depends on large part on your context (the circumstances surrounding your existence), as freeing all your slaves at once in the wrong time and place could lead to very negative experiences across the board and would ultimately contribute to the excellence of nobody. |
In this statement, I assume you mean that if Jimmy The Nose (a fictional "gangster" for this construct) has been running a slavery ring and one day figures, "Screw it, I would rather sell smack, " and just up and "frees" all the people he had been holding in bondage without anyone making arrangements for housing and feeding and educating and employing them, then that would be more harmful to them because they would be dead within a short period of time and effectively no more free than they had been when he was "providing" for them as a master. Would this be your point? Or, would you be making the point that in some time and place, slavery would be a good option for both master and slave simply in and of it's own nature?
...but then, this is not really topical...
