Don’t worry about what the state does to you, all the rights, freedoms, and opportunities taken away. These don’t matter. Just focus on your own ego and you’ll be happy. -Paul DeltaWave, DISTORT, Earful, PKHarmonic, new: Multitone Analyzer Link to comment

If a totalitarian government declares that all solid-state electronics are off limits, you have no choice but to listen to vacuum tubes (USSR banned the import of electronics in the 70's and early 80's. Their development of electronics and computer technology lagged the rest of the world by many years as the result.) I know, I know. AnotherSpin will declare that he was very happy listening Zappa on vacuum tubes. But it's oppression, nevertheless. -Paul DeltaWave, DISTORT, Earful, PKHarmonic, new: Multitone Analyzer Link to comment

So presumably you are referring to insults and prejudices, essentially opinions held by others that might bruise one's ego if so vulnerable. presumably you are not talking about actual oppression or denial of human rights or physical trauma?
