I know it is semantics as both are dehumanizing but at least with slaves there is an acknowledgment of less than personhood. A resource is so impersonal

Functionally I don't see the difference. I guess I'd prefer the illusion of freedom to not having it at all. Maybe I'm wrong. Given the choice I'd prefer to be neither.

You said it, a resource has the illusion of freedom, for now. A few more basic rights and the state can't just sick the cops on you and beat/murder you without a pretext of a reason. The post earlier about billionaires angry about the 56 billion in productivity lost to ONE mental health day a year taken got me thinking of this

Edit: one mental health day a month each year.

I almost commented on that one. You do make a good point.
