I absolutely disagree that the violence in the Sea Org is anything like what was witnessed during chattel slavery. The body of a lynched Emmett Till shows how these people were treated AFTER it was supposedly over for whistling at a white woman. The jury knew they were guilty and let them off. The whole thing is still too upsetting for me to think about - the story of slavery in the US - but if I was an African American I'd be spewing at how that video minimises the suffering of those people. Fuck that.
I've been in the Sea Org and anyone who wants to say it is anything like chattel slavery is a fucking liar or an idiot.
Hmmm... Sea Org... chattel slavery... Sea Org... chattel slavery... gee, that's tough. Not.
I'd join the Sea Org again in a heartbeat before I lived one second as a chattel slave.
