Employee

The word employee has its roots in the Latin word implicare, which became implicari, meaning “to be involved in” or ”attached to”.
Over time, the Latin word evolved into the middle English word “imploy”, from the 16th and 17th century, and meant “enfold”, “entangle”, “to entwine” and “imply”, and is compared to the Latin word implicare or_“to implicate”.
A person who is carrying out the action of, or offering employment, is offering you to be implicated with the business in hand, and would be called the “employer”.
If the offer is accepted, then you would be in the “state of being employed”, making you the “employee”.
Once employed, you can now be deployed, meaning “to make use of” or “to bring into effective action”, just as troops or infantry would be.
Note: being employed does not mean you are entitled to payment, it just means you are implicated.
Therefore, if you accept “citizenship” or “civilian-ship”, you are now implicated with a corporation, which can “deploy you”, or “make use of you”.
Meaning you have become a “taxable human resource” to the corporation.
And they have (most of us) by the balls! The minute you open a bank account, you are agreeing that every penny that goes through can be monitored. When you sign a contract for a house you are agreeing to not only paying the rent but also the council tax (and who knows where that money goes). I did hear a story (i don't know how accurate it was) that it is all in the prefix and that if you don't acknowledge one then you are exempt however without one you can't really live a life within society. I could talk about this all day, I won't though!

I'm not following the prefix thing, more info? Regarding "society", I'd rather be alone in the world with my dog than be part of "slavery society". A sovereign chooses wich contracts to accept, that simple. We all have the power, but are programmed to not think this from day 1. And we can (re)build institutions that serve people
As an English teacher, I love learning about the origins of words. Thank you for this!
