I’m talking about things such as restricting hate speech, discrimination etc. Like we did with rule 7.

    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

      We’re talking about laws made to protect people, not oppress them, comparing them to slavery being legal in the past is quite a stretch.
