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.

I don’t think that framework is used commonly moreso than the fact that social media has illustrated just how entrenched these relationships are around the world. It’s the object permanence dynamic—if it’s not in your view, it doesn’t exist.

Also the oppressed, many cases has not become the oppressor. Just in America, the civil rights movements since slave revolts have led to an incredible amount of freedoms fought for by those oppressed. And to this day we continue to fight for our right to live how we want—with more and more allies in solidarity.

What I mean is that we see the instances of oppression in more ways than what we know or have known. That the struggle for freedom isn’t happening more now but that it’s always been there sort of speak.

i’m not following. wdym by relationships?

i’m not questioning if oppression is real or not. oppression is very much alive today. i’m questioning if it is the most helpful framework for us to advance social issues. the answer could be yes or it could be no.

the goal to me always is a less divided world.
