Jefferson maybe never realised he was an energy slave himself.
I say that not to try to excuse what he did, but just explain it. Right now we are seeing everyone, Even you dear Allison, participating in the energy slavery which is resulting in genocide of innocents in Gaza, mostly of non white skin, but also in the ravaging of Ukraine, it's all the ultimate outcome of energy slavery, which is resulting actually in the death of the planet by temperature rise.
We are educated not to see this by the education system which is itself commoditised for profit. We have the same kind of blindness as ants, that operate under similar systems of energy slavery, but in their case they don't threaten the planet whereas we definitely do, we are an energy scourge on the planet as stands.
We should stop blaming people for this and realise it's a superhuman, inhuman systemic intelligence which controls us to do this.
Its true folk of colour have suffered more from it than white folk, but this might be just because the indegenous roots of folk of colour encouraged them / you to be more inclined to try to resist it. The beast punishes those that try to resist, more than folk who just go along with it. Hence why it's not white folk who are stronger by nature, it's folk of colour showing the real strength.
Everything we do and say to try to cover up this weakness is just virtue signalling.
But now we know this beast has us all up against the wall, and with nature throwing us the wildcard of an opposite, much greater force, in the form of a solar powered Ai, maybe we are getting close to calling it out, even in mainstream.
I thank you for publishing your stories that bring out these responses from me. I think you do good work with the best of heart, but I hope you might move to the real culprit we can see in the bigger picture of what really is behind slavery, all slavery in history, it was always about satisfying the energy needs of an inhuman beast, the emergent property associated with us, that maybe now we are coming to understand, now that it threatens all life on the planet, and even all future life on the planet.
