By inspecting whether they are actually being oppressed, or just being discouraged from being overbearing assholes.
Also bear in mind this is not an act of Congress. This was a popular subreddit where some unpaid mods decided to go nuclear on people who have a history of hijacking discussion and preventing civil discourse. I think that public forums like Reddit do have an ethical duty to freedom of speech, but their duty stops short of the restrictions that are (and should be) placed on government i.e. Congress.
Also, to be clear, I am not suggesting that the 20 are all alt-right, but neither do the political views of that 20 need to mirror that of the 80 (taken to the extreme).
So - neither of you answered my actual question. Any other takers?
- BurningFrog 10y agoI think being part of an oppressive majority feels just like you describe. There are these insufferable dicks always screaming about how bad things are despite that you've already given them far too much. Isn't it time to teach them a real lesson? People are always heroes in their own stories. They truly believe it. If they set out to "inspect" if that is really the case, their honest evaluation will be that, yes, they are.
