Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brothers
Morty: You have a whole planet sitting around making your power for you?! That's slavery!
Rick: It's society. They work for each other, Morty. They pay each other, they buy houses, they get married and make children that replace them when they get too old to make power...
Morty: That just sounds like slavery with extra steps!
Rick: Ooh la la, someone's gonna get laid in college.

—Description of the Citizenship policy Slavery for any species in Stellaris
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery — subordination to the superior race — is his natural and normal condition. [Applause.] This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.

They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold, and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made by it.
—Chief Justice Roger Taney, Dred Scott v. Sandford
We wish not to convert the Russians to National Socialism but to make them our tools.
—Reich Minister for Food Herbert Bzcke
When one contemplates this primitive world, one is convinced that nothing will drag it out of its indolence unless one compels the people to work. The Slavs are a mass of born slaves, who feel the need of a master.
