The Mudokons were enslaved via trickery. You can read more about it here. They remained slaved in spite of their powers because, for the most part, they don't realise they're enslaved. Remember that Abe thought he had a good job before the start of AO. Most Mudokons don't know that it's possible for them to have a Native life outside of the factories. |
This is interesting. If the muds don't know any better and think they have a decent life, why oh why would they choose to follow Abe and jump trough his bird portal? Even more so after the events at Rupture Farms and the Magog propaganda about Abe being a terrorist. If the muds really think they are doing a good job you'd think they would actually try to stop him from getting to his goals.
