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.

Because it's a simple binary narrative, and largely the people who espouse it aren't interested in advancing society. They are interested in decelerating because, "meh growth bad"

fair. you know how Christianity gained traction to become the largest religion in the world at its peak? by being inclusive, not divisive: "you've sinned? don't worry, you can still join us." imo, the oppressed narrative folks are the opposite of that. they are anti-growth and will be responsible for their own demise.

> you know how Christianity gained traction to become the largest religion in the world at its peak? by being inclusive, not divisive it was much bloodier and more pervasive, perhaps even insidious, than that for christianity. oppressed people are usually busy trying to not be oppressed, that is their growth.

for example, 9/10 women in the decades and centuries of old, couldn't be business owners, contribute to state affairs or build the first cars and airplanes of the world. this is because they had to deal with being oppressed, day and night. they were the "oppressed narrative folks" then, and many still are today.
