"Liberal Oppression"

That gave me pause for thought, as it is surely an oxymoron, liberalism beng the polar opposite of authoritarianism.

Anyone feel that they are being oppressed in a liberal manner?

I wouldn't mind being oppressed in a liberal manner, sounds quite kinky.

Supposedly 'during the war comedy sitcoms and talk shows were broadcast all day long and every day...such shows would attract audiences of 30 million plus'

You would think that even the most basic of knowledge of the subject would be aware that people were at work, kids at school and many did not even own a radio

Which seems about the level this drivel seems to muddle along at

In respect of the OP, I think people don't like being challenged essentially. They take having their views challenged, no matter how reasonably, as being a form of oppression. People want freedom of speech but only to say what they like and not for anyone to exercise their freedom of speech to challenge them. The Tories are essentially pursuing this as policy, decrying cancel culture whilst banning the teaching of any material that could be interpreted as being anti-capitalist or subversive.

In fairness, millions of people listened to the radio while they worked...

The song 'Deep In The Heart of Texas' was banned by the BBC during the war, as workers would join in with the four beats before the words 'Deep In The Heart of Texas' by clapping or whatever, and so (supposedly) reducing productions

not to hear sitcoms - and radio was played in factories etc

hence 'music while you work'

otherwise what he stated was confused and contradictory nonsense

“Liberal” means “generous”.

“Conservative” means “cautious”.

I have no idea why Yanks (and, it seems now, some Ill-informed Brits) consider these to be words of insult.

I think in the US the insult is aimed at those showing a tolerance, open mindedness and free thinking towards the wrong people - non-whites
