People volunteered for some weird shit back in the day. Their morals and beliefs are nothing like ours.
- culi 4y agoyou don't think it's at all likely that her life as a slave was so misreable this could've been a way out? regardless my point is it's silly to try to reconcile "we can't know anything" with this one details they pulled out. Like why is the single detail that somehow is credible?
- whiddershins 4y agoI wasn’t saying any of it was credible or not credible. I was saying it is unknowable and basically thread hijacking with a random point unrelated to the meat of TFA. I could have written “the account claims she volunteered” and perhaps my comment would have made more sense. Edit: This is applying: Our cultural values and context to: A translation of: A person’s (how credible?) account who was: From a long time ago and: Of a different culture than ours and was: Observing yet a third culture which was alien to him
