Tupeia wrote:"Unfortunately, Tupeia can't let them go. One of the features of the probes is that all the slaves removed parts of the brain are responsible for emotions, breathing, movement, heart rate and most of the brain. I mean, they’re completely dead, the probes control a body without consciousness and a soul.
Also the probes cost us only $ 500 million a year. The part about liberation from ** a country that is free of poverty, hunger, crime, discrimination, sexism, homophobia and other garbage, our country is clean, healthy and rich, all thanks to Saranism ** is in fact accurate because crime in our country does not exist. Our latest conquest tactics make the conquered country subjugated within 5-10 years".
However, you can stop producing probes and enslaving new people by force, while you can just gradually send the probed ones to other countries, who don't know, that they are zombies, to appear benevolent and generous. As if you are so kind to let them go.
Customers and investors rarely like lifeless servants, due to the uncanny valley effect. Besides, a braidead zombie worker is useless without a supervisor, who also has to oversee him and give an order for most trivial things. And social engineering, if well performed will cost you even less than half of sum, you spend on probes. If you adopt consumer based economy, you won't have to commit artrocities upon the people and take away their emotions. Such workers will perform work by their own initiative, while your higher classes (supervisors) are just sitting behind their desks and enjoying cocktails. Quality and quantity of work can be ensured with competition.
Besides, people may indenture themselves, when they take credits to purchase new consumer goods now, rather than later.
Instead, you will be able to leverage the emotions, by selling them colorful things, which are cheap to manufacture, because you will basically sell them the feelings they want, while you can use corporate propaganda to instill enthusiasm. When your subjects are introduced to advertisement of your lavish and opulent lifestyle, they will work towards your goal, chasing the Tupeian dream. Go forth, and make Tupeia even greater with brand new, capitalist system, where workers are the slaves of themselves and their desires. Desires, you control and direct with social engineering.
Capitalism with some welfare aligns well with your philosophy, and we have made an effort to explain you why. If not, perhaps there might be entrepreneurs, who are willing to invest in your efforts in transition from slave based economy to more modern capitalism, where those, who work for you have chosen their path. Plus, you can get rid of some not so loyal elements in your government and whitewash your name, by declaring them guilty in the artrocities. They are tried and got dispatched, and you enjoy being considered someone benevolent or even saint.
As for conquests, bringing colorful marbles conquers more natives than bullets do. Besides, their infrastructure will be intact. Sun Tzu said, that on the first place is to preserve the infrastructure and resources of those, who will be conquered.
And if even this doesn't convinve you... you may also recieve pardons and use improved international reputation to promote Tupeia.
So basically, Tupeia loses nothing from abandoning slavery and establishing welfare capitalism except a large stain on it's otherwise flawless reputation. Philosophical ideas are not compromised, economy grows, and rich become richer, while workers enjoy life without powerty and work for their evergrowing desires, while immigrants from every place come to enjoy the Tupeian dream.
