I am currently talking to a person about this topic.



He says kind of like this (translated):

--- Begin quote ---

Being the slave in a master-slave relationship has simmilar effects as

religion:

Gives a feeling of safety, reduces the stress of responsibility for the

slave's actions (I'm not guilty, I only obey my authority...), finnaly -

if you're a slave, you have less problems. Most people feel comfortable

in their master/slave being and both work towards keeping the

relationship alive and kicking. Slaves keep that drop of selfrespect by

thinking, that it just has to be so and that any other way isn't

possible. The masters claim about the same thing, for other reasons, of

course.

---- End quote ----



What you say kind of reminds me of "free slaves"
