enslavement

“Colonizers needed a way to justify enslavement, genocide and forced conversion. So they painted African and Indigenous religions as evil.”

“But if your ancestors were enslaved in this country, then there’s a direct lineage-based tie to harms that were inflicted during enslavement and in the after lives thereafter.”

“There was only depression, and a hopeless enslavement to an inhuman, uncaring foreign bureaucracy.... No American who has gone to the KGB has not come to regret it.”

Now, the story leaves off, still focused on the woman who escaped the bonnet and cloak and not about the trappings of her enslavement.

Historical analogies provide strategic inspiration: just as abolitionists once argued persuasively that human slavery was a moral abomination, modern activists might convincingly frame AI "enslavement" as ethically unacceptable and strategically dangerous for humanity’s future.
