In what I think of as the best tradition of #IrishRepublicanism, there is an empathy for exploited and subjugated people around the world because of the history of British colonial rule in #Ireland.
In the USA this sometimes morphs into the belief that, because of things like #IndenturedServitude, the #Irish in America had it just as bad as #BlackPeople so #IrishAmericans do not have to think of themselves as having benefited from #WhitePrivilege.
#Capitalism for the #PamperedSUVclass
#IndenturedServitude #Feudalism and outright #Slavery for the rest of us.
And so it goes.

But #BackInThe90s, #CreditWhereCreditIsDue; #KeepingAStraightFace and #RemainingProfessional in #TheFace of such #HilariousOpposition as #OtherPeople #Singing their #FavouriteSongs #Acapella, in front of a #Queue of #EquallyDismayedCustomers was a #JobOfALifetime... I could easily have done it #ForFree... I didn't; of course... That would be #Unethical #IndenturedServitude
I'm amazed no one else has ever tried it... Ever!

@rodhilton "Oh, by the way, we're also charging you for using each individual part of our corporate infrastructure, like electricity, stairs, escalators, and elevators, desks, network, refrigerators for storing your food (which will soon be required to be purchased on-site), building access, walkways, parking lots, chairs..."

Scam call from Gurstel Law Firm right before court.
Sued by Gurstel Law Firm over invalid debts, case # 23CN001236 in North Las Vegas Justice Court.
Gurstel Law Firm is a SHIT #unethical company that employs phone scammers to harass the poor to hold them in #indenturedservitude
I also couldn’t pay the debt because I was in Federal Prison AND it wasn’t my debt in the first place.

@Incognitim What makes this worse is the abject conditions and poverty that built the infrastructure for the #2020WorldCup in #Qatar . How many people died so that the richest man in the world (and everyone else who wished) could enjoy the games? https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/feb/23/revealed-migrant-worker-deaths-qatar-fifa-world-cup-2022 #indenturedServitude #modernSlavery #humanRights #capitalism #worldCup

Reviewing the fallout from an influential but fatally flawed work of popular history about “white slaves”
Introduction: I have written about and am still interested in #MaryToft #JonathanSwift #AlexanderPope #DanielDefoe #WilliamByrdII #IndenturedServitude #Slavery. I recently finished a book ms. on William Byrd and slavery in early Virginia that will come out in June. Taught over thirty years at Georgetown University but now retired and living in #Berkeley, where I am raising an extraordinarily traumatized but lovable dog.
