not a mystery if you think about the cabal 'membership'
snip quote to mention those phrases paint two images of slavery, chains-n-cotton and mk-island-elite, that while of course horrible and important, also do a disservice to papering over the very widespread problem of debt bondage enforced on immigrants by language and social isolation that ms rodas refers to. that is slavery too. much more pernicious in that it is a shadow economy that americans seem willing to tolerate, day labor farming, landscaping, the maid at your hotel who doesn't speak english and has her children helping her that day because she "can't afford child care", the skeevy strip clubs, massage shacks, and escort businesses, that's american culture, no one in power seems to want to change it unless it gets too close to their gated communities, and the general public is typical american colonialist hypocrites about it, after all everyone has urges and who wants to pay more for lawncare, amirite? bah. its a shadow economy, and it is fueled by vice and lust and greed and the kind of cultural elitism that even rednecks and the ivypreps seem to agree on.
it is also america writ small, these shadow economies, without the formality of written law and pretend political representation. perhaps that is why it is ignored so avidly by the powerful, for if we acknowledge the little plantations we allow to virtually exist within our economy, we may draw parallels and see the larger plantation of debt slavery of america for what it is, not what we delude ourselves to believing it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0OTg3aZc-Y
