#clone slavery

I don’t know why holding the Jedi accountable for being compliant in slavery is such a controversial thing. Again, I think the show has showed us that this is an accurate portrayal. 

And while I see the clone’s positivity towards the Jedi being cited as an indication that they don’t think they’re being enslaved and have positive relations with the Jedi. Considering 1) it’s a small group of clones who act this way and 2) deserters exist, we know that’s not the case. 

I clones were brainwashed and essentially taught to believe the Jedi were 100% good, and we begin to see cracks in this belief as the show progresses. Even Rex and Fives question this, and there are very many points in which we know there is an extent to Anakin and Rex’s relationship, as well as Anakin’s relationship with his men in general. 

And consider that as abuse victims themselves, it’s not uncommon for the clones to justify everything bad that’s happening to them. These have been men abused from childhood and treated as property, their justification of their treatment and their tendency to excuse all that’s going on can absolutely be consequence of their abuse. 

If we can understand that Anakin and Palpatine had an abusive relationship despite Palpatine treating Anakin with dignity and respect, then we can see how this applies to the clones and the Jedi.
