What do you expect from a bunch of whipped Europeans?
To quote T. Pratchett "They don't need chains, they have obedience."
The only difference is that they know they are whipped. We have the chains but no obedience. Chains paid for by our own money.
It's better to be chained but with the goal of freedom than to be an unchained but content slave. The self-proclaimed masters can be overthrown, lethally if need be.
(Thought I'd beat Tim to that. I don't kill without good cause, but I'd count this as a good cause.)
