Walaikum salam,
Inshallah, you won't "go to hell" over comments with "some dude" over the net.
I believe the phrase "oppression is worse than slaughter" is taken from Surah 2, verse 217, where the discussion took place amongst the Muslims about fighting the mushrikeen during the sacred months (during which any fighting and bloodshed was prohibited).
"They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein."
