i asked this on insta (which is asking for trouble) and will ask here: why is the oppressed/oppressor framework used so commonly these days and how is it helpful to advancing society? under this framework, what happens when the oppressed is no longer oppressed? it must become the oppressor; there is no other option.

1. It's been usurped by the oligarchy to obtain/retain power. The framework is used as a 'viral vector' to insert corrupting mechanisms into society to defeat opponents under the cover of virtuous sounding causes.

2. Power / wealth is further concentrated in the hands of the few, who care not who are the oppressed or oppressor. The cycle then repeats. See Polybius' theory of anacyclosis.
