What pill is this

@memecucker

this is amazing like the masters dont call it “slavery” because they know that sounds bad not because the word doesnt exist lmfao

If your culture condones slavery, regardless of whatever fucking term is utilized, that facet of your culture deserves to be mercilessly ostracized and destroyed from within and without

OH MY GOD Y’ALL DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT Y’ALL ARE TALKING ABOUT. WE ARE NOT FUCKING CONDONING SLAVERY. SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO RESORT TO SERVING OTHER FAMILIES BECAUSE OF CLASS FUCKING DIFFERENCES THAT MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO EARN MONEY IN OTHER WAYS. LOLA EUDOCIA’S CASE IS AN OUTLIER. THE MAJORITY OF KATULONGS IN THE PHILIPPINES ARE NOT ABUSED. YES, LOLA EUDOCIA WAS A SLAVE, AND MY HEART HURST FOR HER AND FOR PEOPLE IN HER SITUATION, BUT THE SYSTEM ITSELF IS NOT FUCKING SLAVERY SINCE MOST KATULONGS ARE PAID, FED, AND ALLOWED TO RETURN TO THEIR HOMES FOR VACATIONS. KATULONGS ARE LOVED, AT TIMES MORE SO THAN THE ACTUAL PARENTS. IF KATULONGS DON’T SERVE OTHER FAMILIES, THEY AND THEIR OWN FAMILIES WILL FUCKING STARVE TO DEATH. SLAVE ISN’T EVEN REALLY THE CORRECT TRANSLATION FOR KATULONG. THE KATULONG SYSTEM IS UNFORTUNATELY A NECESSARY EVIL IN THE PHILIPPINES.

RE: ALEX TIZON. IN THE FILIPINO CULTURE. WE ARE NOT TAUGHT TO STAND UP FOR OURSELVES. WE’RE TAUGHT TO SHUT UP AND JUST ACCEPT THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE. YOU WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND IF YOU’RE FROM THE WEST. I, BORN AND RAISED IN THE PHILIPPINES, EXPERIENCED CULTURE SHOCK WHEN I MOVED TO THE US AND HEARD ONE OF MY AMERICAN CLASSMATES SAY THAT SHE SHOUTED AT HER MOM FOR BEATING HER UP. THE FILIPINOS THAT I KNOW, INCLUDING ME, WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT. VALUES ARE DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD. YOU CAN’T VIEW THIS ISSUE WITH ETHNOCENTRISM.
