They seem to torture them just because. In pretty much any minority ruled states the majority were/are just generally abused. See South Africa, the US, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, India (castes), etc etc.
They also do a lot of labor. There is more to their existence than the worst of abuses. Looking at slavery and minority rules is abhorrent from a humanitarian perspective, but there is more to daily life than the worst of the worst.
Yet, the worst of the worst happened with enough frequency and banality. That’s really all the meme states. Being a slave has always been slavery no matter who the masters are.

The meme implies that “the reality” of Roman slavery involved branding and amputation, when neither are reliably attested to.
