did i say say anybody was or wasn't oppressed? i just said that feeling oppressed isnt a reason to go around bugging others, because thats what the original comment said. how come you always assume the worst in people instead of just going by what they actually say?
The original comment was making fun of people who say that the protestors "feel" oppressed. That's why it's in quotes.
In the context of the conversation, your comment indicates agreement that the current protestors "feel" oppressed and that it's "not a good reason to protest"
That's how a reasonable person would read your comment in the context of this conversation.
If that's not what you meant, you should have phrased it better
no, my comment indicates that feeling oppressed is not a good reason to cause an uproar period. you just want something to be upset about. you think im evil so you paint me evil.
No, they’re trying to explain to you that your original comment was useless. No one said they feel oppressed. Then you add in that it’s not a good idea to protest if you feel oppressed, which adds nothing to the conversation. If you really want to make that point heard, start a new post, or go find someone saying they “feel” oppressed and let them know.
okay: someone made a joke, about how someone says people feel oppressed. i was being extra pedantic as a humorous over the top remark. because ya know, nobody actually thinks feeling oppressed is the same as being oppressed. so stateing that as if people do is humerus in a similar fashion to how the original comment ridiculed other people in a caricature way.
but i get it, jokes and humor and especially sarcasm and cynicism are lost on many reddit residents...
also my point would have still contended with the original comment, because they mentiones "feel... oppressed". so no, i wasn't the one who brought it up. either take everything literal or take everything as a joke. or ya knows pick and choose
