"Slavery" has become a magical word, like "Nazi." I guarantee if you were dying in the wilderness, and somebody offered you position as a slave, you'd take it.

Not if it were Columbus.
I've read too much about the Arawaks.

I'd probably try to eat him tho.

I wouldn't be starving in the wilderness, but for the sake of argument: no. I get that atheists can't imagine why anybody would say that (or believe it), however. But, lol, no thanks.

If I were taken as a slave it would only be on account of getting beaten unconscious while trying to eat the bastard trying to enslave my starving ass.

One has to submit to slavery. It's a choice between death and slavery. Perhaps this goes back the warrior caste issue.

Kings didn't keep their vassals with a handful of knights. Those folks WANTED to be serfs. It was better than the alternative.

The alternative was literally death at the hands of knights.

Plenty of folks ran off to live in the forests.
