Yes, let's please stop! We're making no progress at all. A quarter of what you said was making my points back to me as if you were telling me something I didn't know, and most of the rest was reiterating the same simplistic monofaceted view which I keep trying to explain is too simplistic and monofaceted, and you somehow keep interpreting as me not understanding the simplistic monofaceted bit. It's quite tiring.

(Regarding the Romans: yeah, that's a good correction to make--because of that nuance (which I know, for the record, though obviously you have no way to verify that), rather than hesitating and including it as an example anyway, I should have rejected it and picked another. Regarding Egyptian slaves, I don't know what you're thinking, but it obviously isn't this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_ancient_Egypt)
