Dr. Dybvig told Karlstack:
‘‘I realize I have been too pure. I assumed that a lot of people shared my dream (expressed for example by Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King) of ending oppression. However, the dream of most people (especially but not exclusively the oppressed) seems to be becoming the oppressor. This is why there is a strong correlation between abusers of children and people who were abused as children.
Claudine Gay has power now and she is the oppressor of any group not favored by her and other people in power. This is a common pattern in governments heading for totalitarianism. First, say you represent the oppressed. Then you get power and oppress non-favored groups. This leaves you in a morally indefensible position that could not survive given free speech, so you do what you can to destroy anyone ("counterrevolutionaries") who disagrees with your narrative.’’
Excellent.
Truer words were never spoken, unless one were to add that the would-be oppressors need not be oppressed themselves. Claiming oppression works just as well for those who would wield the whip.
