Re: slavery always was the condition of 99%+ of the worlds society and even elites
Way to start the year! 
We can argue that the rat race these days is similar to slavery but I personally think it's more similar to serfdom. You have rights (albeit not much) and you can buy off your freedom OR you can flee.
A medieval serf can flee to a town and stay there for a year and a day and he's free. A modern salaryman can cut his expenses for a few years and leave the rat race to be more financially independent. The modern man have a bit more options.

serfdoom is same like slavery, in my oppinion west should return to religion, because atheism makes people claiming something pointless you can't trust the statements of anyone anymore, and people are becoming unable to communicate.
