You keep hearing them talk about how they feel so oppressed -- because they are, in this way
In one of those infamous "man on the street articles", the journalist reported how a taxi driver liked the US' current political shift
Why? Because "he was able to say the N word again"
"... oh? Why didn't you say it just now?"
"I mean, I don't want to seem crass" he said with a smile
Right. Because even though he's allowed to say it, it's still crass. So he won't
That's the "oppression" they feel

So to all those struggling or worried about our times, know this: Your mere existence has more effect than you realize You not only tell those who must hide that it's okay, but your presence being tolerated breaks the normalized conformity, and weakens the will of those you do not even see You set a tone and the environment making clear conformity is not required, and their ideas are unpopular The authoritarian minded will shrivel, without lifting a finger Let's go change the world Fin
