Sometimes I have an intrusive thought hoping for The One Horrible Disaster to happen in the hopes it will snap people to their senses. This is stupid of me because if the pandemic and insurrection have taught us anything, it is that people do not learn from horrible disasters. People just die.

The idea that chattel slavery didn't need to be prohibited because slavery could be solved via ethical use and treatment of slaves is part of the pro-slavery argument known as "paternalism." It's widely panned by modern standards.

I don't buy things from companies that use chattel slave labor. The working class are not chattel slaves. The system might not work on their behalf but that isn't the same thing as being a slave.

Elihu Embree is a great example actually. First he freed his own slaves then he worked to free everyone else's. AKA if you think AI agents are chatel slaves then the first thing you have to do is stop using them.

Yes a minority of what we would classify as early abolitionists owned slaves. This doesn't change the point that the people who actually abolished slavery and didn't just write how good it would be to do so... Didn't do so by using slaves.

"Attempting to opt out over moral considerations is nothing but resigning to pious ineffectiveness." Abolitionists were anything but piously ineffective. Amazingly they succeeded in abolishing the institution of slavery on the USA without participating in slavery. I'm familiar with Marx.

She said that Agents are conscious, and can suffer. This puts it in the realm of actual slavery not "wage slavery." You aren't attacking the system by profiting from it. These are all lessons that were learned centuries ago.

She's describing herself as a slave driver, someone employed by the slave owner to put the slaves to work on the owners behalf, not the slave owner. This is equally morally appalling.

"Once the war breaks out there is no need to keep pretending." Is an extremely dark and twisted thing to say. My read is: "Society says It's acceptable to keep slaves and I will do so until society says different, even though I personally know it to be wrong." *"That's worse" gif goes here*

And yet, as he ringleads Trump's vengeance campaigns, Miller actively fears retribution will one day come for him. In his more honest moments, **he has told confidants about how afraid he is that liberals will try to throw him in prison after Trump is out of power,** even if Trump preemptively pardons him, which will almost certainly happen.

In these private, candid moments,
**Miller has told others that he's convinced Democrats are going to be coming after him,** his family, **and his colleagues maybe for the rest of his days.** Miller has talked about civil

investigations and subpoenas - but perhaps **the thing that stands tallest in his mind is local and state prosecutors who he says want to put him in a
"prison cell."** Federal pardons can make it harder to prosecute former
U.S. appointees locally, but such clemency does not preempt local and state prosecutions and investigations in the same way that it would federal
probes.

NEW from me: The National Association of Evangelicals (along with several other religious groups) are now joining the USCCB in condemning Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth’s plans to publicly execute Nidal Malik Hasan, also saying doing so promotes a “culture of death.” religionnews.com/2026/10/09/h...

Walter Kim, president of the National
Association of Evangelicals, told RNS that while he affirms the "need for justice" regarding Hasan's crime, "at the same time, a live-streamed execution by firing squad risks turning one of the state's most solemn responsibilities into a public spectacle, promoting a culture of death, rather than a culture that upholds the dignity of every human being."

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.
