People don’t sell themselves into fucking slavery because they’re only moderately impoverished and fear just being a little bit hungry.

Wacky declarations are no replacement for actual historical context and facts.

    I'm sorry, just to be clear - are you disputing that people in the ancient world often sold themselves into slavery to avoid starvation?

    Do you want me to start citing legal codes and chroniclers? Because I can. But I want to make sure that when you start pissing about playing dumb that everyone sees you got what you fucking asked for.
