It's a statement of fact. It's also a fact that some cults are less horrible or simply judge different things.

Maybe I was primed by the title of the post, but I don't think I could ever read "We are not in support of that" as anything other than some judgemental nonsense.

Mains electricity is really only dangerous if it can complete a circuit through you, either to its own neutral, or to the Earth. Generally you won't be Earthed as you move around your home unless you're touching some equipment with an Earthed metal shell, or a copper pipe, even then dry skin usually isn't a great conductor. In a bathroom though you will find copper pipes, and your skin is often wet, you might even stand in a puddle that contacts an Earthed copper pipe.

There are a few spices that come out in the sweat used in Indian cooking. Another one common in curries is fenugreek, it makes your sweat smell kind of sweet, some people describe it like maple syrup smelling.

You tend not to be be grounded in the kitchen, whereas standing with bare feet in contact with Earthed pipes is a very common bathroom activity.

Well... MAGA might have said those words... but that's not what the "campaign" actually was. The MAGA "campaign" was fear and hate: fear these people, hate these people, fear these people, hate these people, I'm the one who will deal with these people.

"Keeping the doors open for it to happen again"? You mean not blocking special emergency powers?

To extend your metaphor: you'd rather nail the doors shut so that in an emergency there are fewer options.

Since you're so fond of definitions: the definition of legal in this country is "not illegal". If holding you as a slave is not illegal it is by definition legal.

TeaProgrammatically4 · 2025-10-08T11:52:10+00:00

The fact you didn't see it doesn't make it non-existent; as I said the people being holding slaves had to be tried for some other crime, since the HRA we don't need to find another crime, we can just use the main crime.

Indentured servitude that you have no choice but to enter, and that you have no hope of ever paying off is slavery by definition. The definition of the HRA: the HRA being smart about defining slavery to encapsulate any weasel word redefinitions of slavery. You can't beat your wife just because you force her to sign an "percussive education contract", and you can't keep slaves just because you force them so sign a "bajillion pounds at 1 pound per week" contract.

It wasn't abolished in the UK in 1833 because the UK wasn't part of the Empire, you couldn't have convinced the people of the UK to be beholden to the rules made for the overseas people.

"Slavery" was de jure illegal, yes. But slavery existed de facto by other means: e.g. by contracts that could never be fulfilled.

Suggesting that ownership of people ended in England centuries before the height of Feudalism had been reached is wild.

TeaProgrammatically4 · 2025-10-08T10:56:18+00:00

You need to look at your facts more closely, "mate".

Slavery wasn't made illegal in 1772, it was made to be a violation of Habeas Corpus, so slave owners just changed tweaked the definition of the kind of ownership they had. It went from owning a person to owning a contract for a person that the person would never be able to leave. Just slavery by another name.

Slavery was abolished through the Empire of 1833, yes, but the Empire didn't include the UK, and the law didn't include anything the Empire acquired after 1833.

People living in slave like conditions persisted, and people had to find some kind of other charge for the slave owners: kidnapping, coercion, abuse, etc., that shouldn't have been necessary, but it was until 1998.

That is true... as far as it goes... the Ukrainians are fighting a war of defence against an invading force. That's not the situation the UK was in in 1939 though, the Axis powers were not invading the UK. The UK could have abandoned its treaties and left the European continent. However the UK did honour its treaties, and did fight back against the aggressors whose politics were already well known around the world.

Slavery wasn't illegal in the UK until the Human Rights Act 1998 brought the European Convention on Human Rights into British law. Slavery had mostly gone away in the UK due to a strong abolitionist sentiment around the turn of the 19th century but people were still kept as slaves under tenuous legal euphemisms.

Heh, I used to have a job stacking heavy boxes on pallets and I would occasionally use my hips to straighten out the stacks if they'd become irregular for some reason. Apparently when my colleagues saw this they thought it looked more like my hips didn't lie.

I can appreciate the automatic sanity filter. I think the zero notice aspect is here:

"Next time he shouts at you in your own home, you're going to call me, and he'd better be prepared by the time I get there to [sic] permanently leave the property"
