"If you want to know who is truly oppressing you, look to who you can't speak against"

Free speech is and was a good most people cannot afford. But the price you pay depends on who you are and where you stand on the socio economic ladder of things. For example a generic wage slave bringing up the word "unions" in a casual plant conversation will pay steep price as of 2019, and a plant engineer playing with that word around a cooler will be ignored. But there are some things we can't speak against that transcend our income, education and class, no matter who you are you'll pay the price if you spin those things the wrong way. What is your list? My list is rather short.

1. Anything questioning NPR narrative on all things women, racial and sexual minorities will give you headache no matter who you are.

And I am not exactly a rightwinger, yet I find those levels of suppression and forced conformity disturbing.

No one oppresses me. I speak my mind.

On CD forums? That is a definite option if your mind speaks along the accepted (by who knows whom) lines, anything else - you pay the price. Sure, they do not drag you to Siberia but they'll make sure that some career/job disturbing/ending events will encourage you to think twice the next time (or sign up with CD, but even here there is a price to pay for typing this or that).

The two party stranglehold upon our policitical system is oppressing me. Libertarianism speaks to the majority of my ideals yet they are withheld from the major presidential debates.

If it is so silly and insignificant why use draconian measures to silence it and shift conversations to the margin? White straight female victimhood is everywhere, it is in your face, you cannot escape it, and yet it's 100% ok with males of all colors. I haven't heard any male demanding blood no matter how outlandish or insane this or that feminist claim is.

Antifa threatens and oppresses middle of the road people from both parties in Portland, OR.

They need to be rounded up and contained fast. There is no upside to their existence. They are almost at the point of being a domestic terrorist organization.

Saddest part about people in this group is that they are relatively young folk and have been brainwashed by the education system that is currently in place. America has no one else to blame but itself for gross misdirection these sad individuals are following. I hate their existence, but realize at the same time they are victims of the ultra liberal brainwashing schemes orchestrated and played on by people much higher on the food chain (George Soros).
