AvaddonLFC ☄️ 🤘Do you find it oppressive that online communities tend to restrict freedom of expression to an "acceptable" degree for their theme/userbase?
Ulu-Mulu-no-dieHate speech and discrimination are illegal in many countries, I don't see how respecting the law can be seen as "oppressive".
moreeniSo if they make a law opressing some people would doing something discriminatory against those people be less opressive because it's legal now?
They are asking if, according to your logic, slavery was not oppressive because it was legal.
Legality has nothing to do with fairness nor justice. Laws are a tool of control and most of them are oppressive
berkeleyblueTo be fair in a democracy the law should be what the majority agreed upon (directly or indirectly) to build a community. That should still be tempered by a well thought out constitution that prevents tyrannyby majority of course. If you don’t have such a system, I thing you have bigger problems to takle first.
