The ancient Greek rationalist philosophers taught that slavery was right, just and necessary:

"But is there any one thus intended by nature to be a slave, and for whom such a condition is expedient and right, or rather is not all slavery a violation of nature?

There is no difficulty in answering this question, on grounds both of reason and of fact. For that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule."

Aristotle

Not being a Hellene (Greek), you, koan, are a barbarian and a slave by nature. Or so Aristotle said.

When you say there is canablilism and no slavery when there is it is not a truism. It is so friggen obvious you did not know.
