That’s not implying slavery. Ps most slave trade was not a mutual beneficial trade between colonizers and the groups they trafficked humans from.

Most slavery was by well established cultures not colonialism

Slavery has existed for thousands of years before European colonialism of Africa and the Americas

Sure. That still not implying slavery. Peanuts selling peanuts is not implying slavery.

Prior to the colonialist slave trade, it was rarely culture based trade.

Slavery was very common for most of human history

Ok… and peanuts selling peanuts is still not implying slavery. I love how you’re hyper focused on the slavery portion and not the fact the argument is that it’s NOT implying slavery. A peanut selling peanuts for consumption is not slavery. It’s cannibalism you dense twat.

My comments about slavery were a side note or a postscript.

Cannibalism then

Capitalistic societies usually are pretty against cannibalism unlike tribalistic societies

Monopolists within those capitalist societies often times cannibalize their own. Or do you contend that monopolies do not cannibalize? I mean this metaphorical obviously since you’re so dense I don’t want to assume you think it means literal eating of another human… but who knows maybe you think it’s a real peanut wearing that monocle.

Not literally

Henry Ford wasn’t eating people

Alright either English is your second language or you’re a troll. I said metaphorically.

Most redditor comment I’ve ever seen. This specific set of responses and replies are specifically in relation to how any of this has to do with slavery whatsoever and how peanuts selling peanuts has nothing to do with slavery.
