  6. also, no, definitely not the same. we must again be careful to make the very important distinction that pro sports players in today’s world ARE NOT SLAVES. They are free to leave their million dollar contracts at any time. definitely not a qualifying factor for status dissonance.

  7. also, another correction, for your incorrect statement. It would be status dissidents in the way you meant it. A dissident is a person. Dissidents are people, while dissidence is the thing that people act out. At any rate, you still got the word wrong in the first place, since he said status dissonance. Dissonance being like a conflict of ideas in this context. The psychological conflict of a slave who cannot free theirself being a slave trained to kill others for the entertainment of the free.
