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.

Reading about cross-cultural convergent/emergent symbols, how monotheism developed out of polytheism, how religious evolution (the changing morphing and merging of different gods as epigenetic organisms) interacts with tribal warfare  

More ppl are noticing the similarities, but mostly it’s dismissed as schizo

whoah, this is a really interesting theory about the evolution of Christianity and how its played out in secular groups. how did you come to notice this?

also yes agree
