I did some infighting too back in my SJW days. I basically saw a sign at a climate march that said “edgy teens want to die, the planet doesn’t.” As an actual suicide victim I complained about it. I think I had a point but I shouldn’t have called it “oppression.” We were oppressed by icepick lobotomies and Aktion T4, an offensive joke on a sign is not oppression.

    I attempted suicide four times and was hate crimed over it (punched in the stomach multiple times and called “attention seeking psycho”).

    And no, Aktion T4 and lobotomies are not practiced today but are an example of actual oppression against people who attempted suicide. If you want a modern example you can look at solitary confinement in the prison system.

    Trying to save your life is literally oppression.

    Aktion T4 was when the Nazis killed people who had mental health issues, and icepick lobotomies are a form of brutal torture. How is that lifesaving?

    People performing lobotomies clearly believed they were saving people.

    Don't rewrite history with hindsight.
