if you skip it, some missing context may quickly become apparent.
Stable anarchist societies vigilantly extirpate members who are
using Night Sorcery or Night Witchcraft to take from other people
without recognisable need or effort or method. This use of Night
Powers to pointlessly gain at the expense of others is comorbid
with late-stage psychopathy; the user has been murdering and
cannibalising people, and is reaching the stage of remorselessly
victimising even people who love them. With some conscious irony,
such an insane villain must be taken down even at the cost of the
rest of the community using tainted night powers to purge them.
Modern slavery is worse than historical slaveries and this is due
to previously unplumbed depths of the tainted night magic.
Apparently similar historical slavery was mitigated by the lack of
surveillance capitalism night sorcery; there simply wasn't
effective 24/7 monitoring and recording of slaves, and travel was
necessary, slow, and difficult. Even the most insane slave holders
were basically singular roving predators, whose current victims
were highly local and who could be effectively avoided in many
cases. With the modern depths of Night Sorcery not so.
Nobody needs to hear this, but the excuse that Modern Slaves
Consent is stupid. In the annals of history, this slavery will be
remembered by the slave-holders larping as childhood bullies
yelling Why Don't You Stop Hitting Yourself during their
slave-taking runs.
