    Many workers have seemed to feel just fine identifying with the beliefs and values of their oppressors.

      This fucking kills me. The race to the bottom mentality to work more for less with less days off is way way too common and I will never understand it.

      They seem to equate enduring exploitation with strong character I often see it as the opposite.

        @franklin @unfreeradical I understand it. That’s exactly what they are doing. They want to exploit us as much as they can as our exploitation is their profits. Some of us have internalised their will, which is just another stride forward in the race to the bottom.

        The master takes away the slaves’ identity, so that the only one they have remaining is the master’s, and the only cause they have left to pursue is to please the master.
