Replying to @rickygervais @MrAtheistPants
There are 7.6 billion people in the world with things to say. We can only listen to one at a time. So most people will feel unheard most of the time. It's not oppression. It's just prioritization.

There are those with power (governments, the rich, old & new media, celebrities) who can amplify some voices & drown out or ignore others. I think it's selective bias in some cases rather than prioritisation
