Being forced to do something against your will. Being penalized if you dont adhere or follow instructions. Being marginalized having your opinion rendered meaningless and being threatened and punished daily with severe punishment based on what you do or dont do.
This is just a little e-taste of how the concept of slavery worked.
Except in this case there are no physical lashes with a whip until blood and skin is ripped off to the bone. No one is beating or raping your wife or feeding your kids to Gators. No one is torturing you like they did Emet Till...no one is holding you back for 400 yrs while your opponents get a head start...but you get an idea of what its like to be ruled with an iron fist by "letter of the law".
I like the fact that new board rules has everyone in a frenzy. Lately I've observed the following behaviors exhibited toward the rules and by extension the Moderator.
Septic Anger
Sadness
Sorrow
Tears
Hostility
Fear
Angst
Disdain
Rebellion
Disobediance
Bitterness
Madness
And so much more
It's nice yall can get but a "sliver of that experience". I hope yall learn from it and become more sympathetic to others.
