An unpaid intern is current example of a socially acceptable indentured servant.
I did wonder if the OP was a unpaid intern for a clickbait games 'zine, but then I was called out for making insinuations about people so i wont be doing that again obvs, but it would make a lot of sense if the OP was themselves suffering from modern indentured servitude, and rather than really accept they were being exploited rather than 'living their dream', they externalised their cognitive dissonance into trying to free imaginary others from indentured servitude instead, in ED. And while the OP cant be bothered to look into doing it using game mechanics, they can try to mount a campaign to overturn the game itself on the forum. Which is ambitious, and lazy, which again sounds exactly like an intern. So maybe there'd be some truth in it, if I was insinuating it which I wasnt, or trying to remote-psychoanalyse someone which I wouldnt. ofc.

Oh, so I
have been ganked. I was running dissidents to Polevnic in a shieldless cutter & got jumped when I was unsuspecting & not paying attention. At the time I thought that was my fault, but now I realise I was ganked, and now I feel empowered, and a victim, instead of just careless, which is a less enjoyable feeling. Furthermore, I realise it was classic self-blame in victimhood that made me feel responsible for my own ganking. What I really needed, wasn't to actually pay attention, but
therapy, so I could move on and not blame myself for being attacked. So thankyou for providing that for me. Now I can really go back to that event that id previously forgotten about, in order to move back, and then on again, but this time without learning anything from the experience. Where's Qbit at? Ive got some abuser-confrontation empowerment thing to do. o7
