So the alt-right gets a seat at the table when discussing whether or not the mainstream media oppresses them? But the media must sit in silence? So the Russians get a seat at the table when discussing if Russian-born Ukrainians are being oppressed? But the ethnic Ukrainians have no say. So gun rights activists get a seat at the table when we discuss if their 2nd amendment rights are being oppressed? But the gun-owning majority gets no say? Do members of the Church of Scientology sit alone at an empty table when discussing how they are oppressed? Members of major religions who have members routinely massacred have no say? How about white supremacists? They’re a small minority. I’m sure they’d claim to be oppressed. How about men being unfairly oppressed by “me too”? No place at the table for women! Hopefully you can see how ridiculous your position is. You’re choosing cherry-picked situations where the answer is something you agree with. You’re also assuming that no group of people would ever deem themselves to be oppressed when they are in fact not - but that’s clearly not the case! You’re also forgetting that it’s entirely possible for a minority to oppress a majority - just look at Syria. |
