No one oppresses me except all the idiots who can't drive their way out of a parking lot. If you tell me I am wrong you get the middle finger and I do, and say, what I want anyway.
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).
saying something anti antifa in public will not end your professional career, but saying something like this most likely will:
A senior scientist at Cern has been suspended over a "highly offensive" presentation in which he claimed physics was "built by men".
The nationalists are taxing the goods I consume and making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to bring a niece from Cebu here to care for my disabled wife. They have also severely hampered the growth in my 401K.
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).
I have been banned from here for speaking my mind more than you could believe. Something I just don’t care. Some people just can’t handle the truth and feel their safe space here has been violated. People need to have thicker skins.
I'm happily retired and married. The only thing that oppresses me is my wife's laundry list of things she wants me do every day.
Politics, and the discussions thereto are not oppressing, but they sure are depressing most of the time. I keep wondering how we will get through the next election when we haven't gotten past the last election.
I am not oppressed. I observe the situation from afar, with some concern and some amusement, but mostly in wonder at what the Western world has become in my absence.

Everybody who is anybody has been banned from here at least two or three times. Sometimes this annoys me, but I don't feel oppressed by it.
Now my dog is always oppressing me. He's a hound with big mournful eyes and he's got guilt tripping down to an art. I could walk him 20 miles a day, and he would get mournful because we didn't walk for twenty-one. And don't even get me started on canines and balls. I don't dare go out in my yard because I know he'll be right there with a ball he's drooled all over and wants me to throw for him at least a hundred times.
Other than woman's best friend, no one oppresses me unless I allow them to.
"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.
Liberals political correctness somewhat oppress me and I know they have the same mindset as their Nazi nationalist Socialist namesakes in the desire to oppress and Final Solution me if they could get away with it.
