The question under consideration is whether we should be compelled under threat of violence to fund this speech.
My understanding is that it isn't about documenting oppression but rather how current methods of archiving can be oppressive and have "cultural bias".

I may be wrong on this, but this is generally what critical theory and its sub fields are all about.
