As a history teacher, it bothers me a lot to see the terms "oppression" and "tyranny" being tossed around here in #Alberta regarding #Covid19AB.

So being the teacher I am, I thought I would educate the average #COVIDIOT. Here goes:

Top pic: a guy freely riding his bike with a mask on.

Bottom pic: the trans-atlantic slave trade.

Note: the bottom pic is there the oppression and tyranny happened.

Left pic: women being arrested for the right to vote as it was thought to be too radical and socially unacceptable.

Right pic: people freely walking about with masks on

Note: the left pic with women imprisoned for participation in democracy was the oppression and tyranny.

Left pic: man wearing jacket on his smartphone, wearing a mask.

Right pic: falsely accused people in a Soviet gulag.

Note: the people on the right were worked to death. This is tyranny and oppression.

Left pic: a couple on a walk wearing masks

Right pic: ghettoized Jews being confined prior to the Holocaust to exterminate them.

Note: 6,000,000 were killed. As far as I know, wearing a mask on one's face has kill 0 people.

I hope this was helpful and now we can see there is a big difference between what some perceive as authoritarian government, and what it really looks like.

Any questions?
