Look around, most people do. Men specifically are taught you need to have a wife and kids and work overtime to buy shit you don't need and save for the 5-10 years of "retirement" to enjoy your golden years. Most people choose a life of servitude without ever considering what they want.
Yes but many don't consider themselves being their own masters. They don't have the balls, right?
I meant is there any performative contradiction in me deciding to be a literal slave to a dominatrix for example while declaring that I'm my own master? What you mean by "being your own master" is being free from any constraints aka liberation theory, where complete personal liberty is the ultimate good in life. This would include the liberty to surrender my liberty too. And thus the snake eats its tail.
I never said that. I said you decide what being your own master means, Anarchism is individual choice wrapped in a scary looking word. In your example you are deciding the dominatrix is a legitimate authority by your own volition, by your own choice.
So being a slave is cool, as long as the person wants it?
I asked how is it possible for me to "be my own master" and be someone's slave (by free choice) without it being a contradiction?
Because it's your personal choice.
