Russell Brand talked about Jubilee and touched on Debt slavery, and it just made me think of something I wanted to post here. When people think of "Slavery" they think of what happened in America, and how people were completely mistreated. And that is a form of Slavery, but there is another form of Slavery that we still use, but it's not really considered slavery any more.
In the Bible, people would become slaves in order to get something from someone. For example, there is a story of a guy you gives himself up as a slave for 7 years to marry a guys daughter, then the guy tricks him and gives him his other daughter who was not as pretty. Then the guy goes back in to slavery for 7 years in order to marry the other daughter. Then there was debt repayment. If you owed someone money, they could make you work for them until your debt was paid off. I don't have any debt, but I have noticed that in America when people go to college they end up with tons of debt, that they then have to work off. This is not them being whipped and chained, but they are in a form of slavery.
And as Russell Brand said in his video, Jubilee was a time when everyone's debts were forgiven, I think it was every 7 years or something like that. All the slaves had to be freed, and all the debts had to be forgiven. This is kind of what happened in Fight Club, when Tyler Durden used the working class people to create a massive distraction, while he blew up the credit bureaus.
If anyone feels like a Slave, there is an ancient Symbol you can use to show you recognize you are a slave and are sick of it. In Ancient Rome a bunch of slaves were freed, around 200 BC, and to signal this, the Emperor took a hat that looked like a red Santa hat, just with no fluff on it, and he put it on top of a pole. Slaves wore Santa hats in Ancient Rome, so this was a Symbol that they had been freed.
Since then, that symbols has become known as "The Liberty Pole", and if you look up "American Revolution" you will notice people in the drawings have Red Santa hats with no Fluff on them.
