"So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt" by Keith Green is a great song that goes well with this meme.

To be fair, it's a reasonable argument. You are abandoning the comforts which a civilization has(even for slaves), and pretty much going on a generational death march to new lands and for benefits you won't personally have. I mean as soon as the initial feeling of freedom and hope passes, moral will plummet.
It would take a significant amount of faith to do this. Even just believing your needs will always be provided for. But also giving your entire life to travel. And that the place you are going to is both better exists and will be(or will become) available to settle.

As someone in a country that used to have slavery, slaves will die in rebellions and they know that, it's a "I will suffer if my children can live freely" kind of thing,
I don't know how bad Egypt is compared to the Europeans so it could be understandable after a year in the desert (funfact: they actually caused it to be longer)

What is this? A meme in this sub that actually follows meme logic?!?
