A single-speaker YouTube monologue arguing that slavery was not abolished but reformed: the economic logic shifted from owning costly enslaved labor (speaker cites an equivalent purchase price of €50,000 for skilled slaves) to wage-based labor that reproduces dependence and undercompensation. The speaker links this continuity to modern wealth concentration (claims the 1% own ~95% of wealth), elite consumption (private jets, expensive parties, golf courses), and policy narratives (e.g., asking masses to accept austerity or eat insects). The tone is critical, reflective, and polemical, with personal anecdotes (parked near a golf course; mentions a 430D diesel car).

Hello, my friends. Many people talk about slavery in the United States in particular. And when we look at the new generation, it would seem that the old demons have been energized. Because, you know, demons, either we let them sleep or we leave them in their vaults, or we can take the mummies, pour water on them, and what they will do is they will swell up and then they will come back to life. And today we will find people who are sensitive to a certain number of things that have not lived. As much as I can understand the demon of someone who has lived through something. I have a hard time with new generations today who will look to a very distant past for reasons for victimization in our day. So let me tell you something. You know, I was. I have already told you, I was quite left wing at one time. And until now I have retained a certain left wing sensibility. You have to know that in reality, I haven't moved much. It's the world that has shifted in reality.
Okay?
So I've moved practically without moving, ideologically without moving. I found myself going from the far left to the far right without even moving from my seat.
Okay?
It's the world that has shifted. So one thing I'd like to tell you is that when we talk about slavery, we're taught in school about the abolition of slavery. That's very important, the abolition of slavery, as if slavery had been abolished. Okay, that's it. I think it's the first myth that needs to be debunked immediately. The second myth is the definition of slavery. How do you define slavery? Well, there are powerful rich people, whatever, who will take people and force them to work for them for free. For free. The myth is in the free.
Okay.
Because if you take these two definitions as I just gave them, and I think most people leave school with this definition. Well, these people won't be able to understand the reality, because in truth, slavery was never free.
Okay.
If you look at the United States, for example, anyone who owned slaves had to buy them. And some slaves, especially those who had training, were extremely expensive. A slave. A slave who had, I don't know, who could work metal or who could take care of horses or others who had training. Uh, that one could easily cost the equivalent of €50,000 today on the market. So it was a very heavy investment.
Okay.
That the slave owner had to agree to. What I'm saying is very important because it allows us to better understand the economic rationale behind slavery and how it evolved. Of course, when he bought a slave for €50,000, the last thing he wanted was for the slave to die during the season. So he had to take care of him, feed him, and house him. And you have to know that in the economy of slavery, even when times were bad, like two years ago, it could happen right away. The climate has always changed. It didn't start when Ms. Gretton was born. It started thousands of years ago. The climate changed, okay? If you had early frosts or things like that, it could actually cause problems in terms of production. But at the same time, what the slaves cost the slaveholder was an incompressible fixed amount that could not be touched.
Okay?
You see clearly that the logic of the slaveholder having slaves did not allow him to adapt flexibly and flexibly to market conditions.
Okay?
Of course, when the slaves got old or sick and all that, they were his responsibility. So at that time, at that time came the idea not of abolishing slavery, as we would have us believe, but the idea of reforming slavery. So in fact, slavery was not achieved, it was reformed. Reformed how? Well, they said, how much, realistically, a slave costs us over his economic lifetime. How much does a slave cost his owner? He takes his group of slaves, he divides it by how much it costs him. He comes up with a figure. I'll give you this figure in 1000. It's easy enough to guess. It costs him about what's called the minimum wage. There you go. So what does he think? If I open the door to the slaves, I break their chains and tell them to go, you're free. And I put 15 quotation marks on free. Where are these slaves going to go? They're going to go to Mars. They have nowhere else to go. They're going to cross the street, go to another boss, work for him voluntarily, let's say, and then he'll give them the money that would have cost him if he had owned it. That's all. As simple as that, with all the flexibility that it will give him. Because later on, of course, we can have a slave owner who will pay more than the others, for example, offer better conditions than the others. And so everyone will want to come and work for him, but there won't be room for everyone. And what's more, their owners will arrange among themselves so that conditions are more or less similar from one place to another. So what the slave will have left, if you like, will not really have true freedom corresponding to abolition. No, they will have the freedom to choose which master they want to work for. In reality, that's it. It's the freedom to choose which master they want, because the work will always be hard, they will always be underpaid, and ultimately they will be adding value not for themselves, but for. But for the people who are at the top. And today we have arrived at a world where they want us to believe that slavery has been abolished. Whereas when you look at the distribution of wealth, you have the 1% who own practically 95% of the wealth. So it's not that I have nothing against a rich person. I'm not saying the rich have necessarily exploited others and everything. That's not my idea. But my idea is that as much as I want to understand that some people have managed to rise through their own merit, when I look at the system as it is set up today, these disparities and inequalities cannot be due to chance. These inequalities, when we look at them globally, without going into individual cases, we can have a poor person who deserves it. We can have a poor person, but he's poor because he's never moved, because he's never worked, because he doesn't care, because. Because how can we have a rich person who has worked for 40 years without ever taking a weekend or resting or anything else? These extremes, these marginal cases are possible, but if we look at the heart of the system, it's still a system that is enslaving the masses for the benefit of an ever smaller minority. One of the reforms of slavery was that at the beginning it was based on the slavery of blacks, because quite simply, white people in the United States, for example, if we take the example or the context I'm talking about, if we take white people, they had the Constitution of the United States on their table. They had the Bible and they had a loaded gun. So they weren't someone who could easily be put on a plantation and forced to work with a whip. No, that wasn't possible. So over time, things changed. There was a sort of democratization of ignorance. In addition, there was a population explosion among everyone, whites and blacks alike. There was a stupefaction due to the media, due to school, due to the disintegration of the family unit, the social unit. All of this has meant that today, in reality, many people are equally vulnerable to slavery, regardless of their gender or race, real or perceived or whatever. So that slavery has become, in a way, a system that does not stigmatize. It has become an egalitarian system, in a way. Okay, Right. More and more people, regardless of their origins or skin color, are becoming equal in the face of slavery. You understand? That's the thing. So what upsets me today is that when you look at These stories, for example, about the climate and others, we have the 1%. We have the class of the 1%. The 1%. I mean, are people just follow the press called people. All it takes is for one of their chicks to be three weeks late for her period. And then you have private jets, you have parties that cost several million dollars to celebrate the potential baby that will be born in nine months. You know? Do you get the idea? That's it. We have these people who don't hesitate to spend millions on the slightest whim, the slightest triviality.
Okay?
At the same time, you have people who can't even eat enough. You have retirees who are freezing to death. You have retirees who are scavenging in Germany. And at the same time, and that's what kills me. At the same time, you have this caste. You have this race of lords who are capable of telling the masses, Listen, we're going to have to eat insects to save the planet. We're going to have to stop heating our homes or taking showers in order to reduce our carbon footprint. That means that we have the superior race in a single person at a certain lifestyle. If we talk about ecological impact. I'm not talking about carbon. I'm talking about ecological impact in general. The space that these people occupy. One of these people could spend occupy more space than a million gu. And at the same time, it's not enough for them. At the same time, they say, yes, but I would like him to eat insects. I would like him to eat their corpses. I would like to eat corpses. It's been said. I. I didn't make it up. Eating insects. It's been said, okay? That's the thing is that we're going today. We're going today. And here. What's terrible is that the agreement of the masses. Because the enslaved masses are most often not very smart people, huh? These are people who watch tv, mouths open, brains open, no rifts, nothing at all. They absorb. They absorb. They were told this on tv. The first time, it surprises them, they eat popcorn. The second time, it surprises them again. The third time, they believe it, okay? And the fourth time, they are ready to sacrifice their family, their life, their own children on the faith that this thing they are being told is true. When in reality, the righteous. It is just a message from their lords. It is just a message from the higher card that is telling them, give me more space. Die. Make yourself small. Give me more space. I need space for my golf Courses. I need space for my children, for my landing strips, for my private jets, for all that you take up space. There you go. I'm at sea today. Just like that. Well, speaking of golf, I'll show you. I'm parked in this place. It looks pretty nice. It's quite rare that I get out of the car. Not in real life, just when I'm making videos. Very nice. Fog. It's a golf course, actually. It's a golf course. So there are people who pass by from time to time. They stop here, they take a breath, then they leave. So I'll leave you, my friends, okay? And then I'll come back when I have a chance. I'll show you the car that isn't mine. It's not mine. You shouldn't say that Iran or Israel gave it to me or anything like that. The last time I had a car, they made a scene. The insurance company lent it to me. It's the 430D diesel. It's true that it's really weird to talk about slavery and then flash a car for €45,000. In fact, it's not mine. And one day I'll have to tell you about the economics of this type of equipment, because you have to know that you're not going to find people who are going to come and just put €45,000 on the table to buy this car. It doesn't work like that. You know that the financial arm of some German car manufacturers has become bigger than the car manufacturer itself. That means that some German car manufacturers have literally become banks. In reality, that means that it's a bit like a mobile phone that they give you for free, practically for free, so that you can use the network. Well, it's pretty much the same. There's a financial logic to it. Absolutely extraordinary. Behind. Ah, there you go. I'll leave you with my friends. I'm going to go home. I'm almost out of fuel, actually. I hope I'll be able to get back because I got a little lost in my thoughts. And then going from one place to another. And then when I stopped, I realized that the tank was almost empty. So I'm going to try to find a gas station in this remote corner. If not, I'll find someone. I'll give him £5 and he'll let me siphon off some diesel. See you soon, my friends.
