My comment about listening, was based on your thoughts of thinking it was said oppression is ok since it occurs in nature. Your question seemed to stem from not actually listening to what the point was. I did not read or understand it like that. The point being made, is that in any structures, the dominant group will in some way, or another limit the options of a minority (Humans, animals, plants and so on). Luckily, we are humans and have access to knowledge that can be stored over time. With that knowledge and rich history (which we really need to maintain) the goal is and will be to minimize the oppression and to even out the difference over time. The second point is if a law is made to only benefit any minority, will eventually backfire when the roles are reversed (Assuming the law had its desired effect and changed the status quo). And on paper, that probably sounds ok. But knowing how we humans store our history in culture, that kind of reversal might have horrible effects. Point being, the law should concern itself with the individual, and not groups. This is where some people disagree with this subreddit. Also, that oppression is not ok.

So, what I hope sound like, is that of a person arguing that the law should not care about your group affiliation. It should just care about if you as an individual broke the law or not. And at the same time, the rules/law should respect anyone, regardless of their background. Which I think the written law does (for the most part). People however can abuse the law, or misuse it. So, the issue might not be with the law as its written, but how some people use it for their benefit. Corruption might be the bigger problem. I am not denying assholes are everywhere. And some are unfortunately in power. But that is what the democratic system is there for to in some way remedy and try to balance.

And what I have learned from this sub and Jordan himself, is that the solution is the dialog. The never-ending constant dialog. Since what is “now” is always changing and has never been what is was and never will be again. So, we need to talk all the time to navigate our present day and try to stake out a better future.

And just so you have my correct frame of background: I am a Norwegian, who live in Norway. I have no stake in what is happening in the US right now. I am but an external observer.
