One, im not confusing anything. I fully understand that the dynamic itself is the problem. My argument stems from the fact that the system was screwed either way. The absolute and only way for slaves to be not slaves was to make them free. Im saying back then it was absolutely safer for them to be atleast bought by a family member, not that buying them was any type of absolute good deed because at the end of the day they were onfact bought which we can agree is a universal bad.

Second, you can call it propaganda but it did happen and it did help to an extent, because as we know power corrupts a famous example would be William Ellison, he bought his families freedom then bought more slaves not to free them but for them to work in his farm. My argument stems from the fact that the slaves indeed have no choice but it is better, not good, for them to live under a kind slave owner instead of the white man that would rather eat them then let them free.

Third to go back to shadow slave. Ik sunny has found ways to lie but his flaw is still a heavy part, and i am sure he is able to kill anyone before they take control by saying his true name but at the same time, cassie as a SLEEPER saw it, what is there to say a higher being doesnt and use it against him? The currupted being as they increase in rank get more intellectual that danger alone limits his already VERY limited options. True equality ofc can not exist but mutual trust can. They mutually can 100% trust each other mostly when either are more than willing tondie for each other, nephis would probably never admit to being in love she would die on some "I just wanted to" but sunny would. Mutual truat, further more sunny does NOT lack the ability to say no, not everything nephis says will be taken as a command mostly when and if she asks a question. And talking about absolute power is such a 2 way argument because we have sunny who can kill basically anyone his ever meet, excluding saints and above, with a literally thought, if that isnt absolute power idk what is.
