Ogre no Aniki to Dorei-chan - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - Ogre and Descending the Mountain

Well, they lasted all of three chapters, that's a good amount of time for trash before it gets disposed of.

Slaves are slaves because they deserve their position? Because they have some innate quality that fated them to become slaves?
First, that's a BS excuse to prevent guilt and feel superior as they don't want to admit they too might become slaves under the wrong circumstances.
Second, if slaves are fated and deserving of slavery... by their own logic, does becoming some ogre's food also count as the fate they deserve?

As much as it always comes off as some absurdly evil villain line, that type of thinking wasn't uncommon in the equivalent time period. It wasn't everyone's way of thinking, but it was definitely there.

Yeah, it was absolute bullshit, but you'd be surprised by how many influential people peddled that it. See John Locke for example.

Ah, an Aristotle fan I see.

Dude was wrong about everything, you know that right adventurers?

Wait, is that where that line of thinking got codified/put down on paper? Considering that a large part of why so many folks were able to just sit and speculate on stuff was that Greece was slave labor I'm not surprised. Though I thought that slave "race" type rhetoric was a thing born from the Atlantic slave trade Era of such things.

It's still common now. Well off people like to believe "I earned everything I earned(inherited), therefore the poor must have earned what they have and it would be wrong to help them." Bonus points for Prosperity Heresy believers who've convinced themselves it's God's will that others suffer for unknowable reasons.

Romans had their own rhetoric, where they basically separated it into two "races" or type of people. Romans, and barbarians, barbarian being anyone who isn't Roman, including Greeks as well. Although, earlier than the Greek, Egyptian Jewish slavery would be the first one solely based on race I think.

Thanks for the chapter.

I know that this thinking has been and still is used in the real world. To justify slavery and other immoral behaviors: this is also used to justify racism, misogyny, homophobia... or something as individualized as domestic abuse. Basically, any form of hatred or discrimination is often justified by a similar thinking of "they deserve it anyway".

So I don't criticize the writing, as it pretty much reflects thinking and speech from the real world... but I still feel anger towards characters, real or fictional, that use this hypocritical rhetoric to justify inhumane treatments. It doesn't quite get to the level of outrage with fiction because I can distinguish it from reality, but I still feel some. Along with some satisfaction when the villains getting karma.

Wow, a manga that portrays humans in a truthful way for once. Humans are monsters. Humans that are decent are the odd duck in the flock. Kill them with FIRE! 🤬🤬🤬
