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.

kinda disagree in that they want to advance themselves, and not all oppressors are advancing society. to ted's reply, i kinda think they are willing to include everyone but their enemies, i.e. white men, but with extra accountability which is still probably more stringent i.e. than chirstians toward converted muslims
