Contradictory Social Contracting

social contract

Social contract theory (the violently-enforced kind) is the slaver’s number one preferred method of convincing other people that slavery is unavoidable, a practical necessity, or most absurdly, something you actively choose.

The “volunteer slave”.

Of course they will never call what they propose slavery, or more accurately, sophisticated slavery. They will polish it up and call it something else. And yet, a piece of shit with specks of gold in it, is still a piece of shit.

I’d like to use this post to share what commenters on this blog have said about social contract in the past. I won’t provide commentary within, but I will lead with an introduction of sorts.
