You were ~~voluntarily~~ (not-involuntarily-forced-into) being oppressed and decided to ~~stop volunteering for it~~ (use the freedom that was already there: to leave without facing violence)

It’s not like immigrants can just “break up” with ICE

Edit: Removed “voluntary” because it could be construed as “consented to” and not “free to choose without constraint/threat” like I meant it

Gotta love it when someone is like "Here's this problem in society..." And someone else goes "Nah it never happened directly to me so you're wrong."

People in abusive relationships are "volunteering" to be abused?

Well...that's certainly a take

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

a) I was talking about the specific situation OP described, not any abusive/bad relationship ever

b) If it was abusive that would likely have made it violent (psychological violence is violence)

c) “Voluntary” as in they could choose to leave without threat to their safety/wellbeing, not “oh boy I wholeheartedly desire this.”
