gollark: I am not, however, forced to work all the time, and if I work I get a significant cut of the reward for this, unlike a slave.
gollark: I mean, broadly speaking, I'm at least... strongly incentivized... to do work (when I'm at the societally approved™ age for this).
gollark: This is not how slavery works.
gollark: I don't really have very strong emotional response to statues like that, but this is perhaps because nothing very bad like that has never actually happened to me. Although some things did happen to my ancestors.
gollark: I might, but this is irrelevant.
