Something that SJW never get about oppression. They are promoting the exact thing they are supposed to fight against. Let's begin!
If you adopt the SJW mindset, you will see oppression everywhere, In men, in whites, in rich, in heterosexuals, everywhere. What this does to your brain, regardless of the truth about oppression, is that you as an individual become permanently oppressed. Even if in reality you would be oppressed sometimes, now, you become oppressed mentally. Why?
You think in a way that assumes you are oppressed in some way when something goes wrong in your life. If you are paid less, you don't say: "maybe I am not efficient and I should sharpen my skill," you say, "the damned patriarchy!"
You become resentful against others that have nothing to do with your problems. You project upon them all your faults, fears, lack of motivation and lack of responsibility. You are inhabited by the oppression mindset.
Becoming a mental slave does not set anyone free. Once you are convinced of this oppression by everyone against everyone, you become unable to change your mind. The more time you invest in it the harder it gets. Remember, it feels good, because you are not to blame for your problems but at what cost?
You have an easy out from every argument against systemic oppression. If someone shows you some statistics, you will dismiss them because they are made by men that are oppressors and falsify the data. You will ignore every piece of information because all these people just want to oppress you.
Oppression is not falsifiable. It means "prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or exercise of authority." In recent time it's more unjust and not cruel. So if you believe that what happens to you is unjust, you are oppressed by everyone that has more authority than you. Who doesn't feel that life is unjust? We don't get everything we want... It's not oppression, it's reality.
If you don't get that pay raise, it's unjust, because you deserve it, of course, you believe this, you would not ask for a raise if you didn't believe it. The boss is in a position of power over you, thus you conclude everytime he denies you a raise that he is OPPRESSIVE.
He can't. Either he submits or he's oppressing you. Now you want the state to punish him for this. Actually, oppress him because you didn't win a voluntary negotiation with him.
This mindset does not promote growth or peaceful interactions between people. It creates arbitrary divisions among ever more groups with a tendency for violence and victimization. Why would you want that, when you have a better system in place already?
Let's not forget that until 300 years ago, nature, oppressed us all. The most vicious enemy that humans ever faced. Diseases, starvation, cold, pests, carnivores, old age, and all kinds of other dangers have oppressed every human that ever lived. There is no greater unbalance of power between you with a spear and mother nature.
You should think twice before you begin to destroy human-made systems that keep you and me alive. This nitpicking backed by state power can lead us back to mother nature in no time. You don't want to really feel what oppression means believe me. It's not that you don't have free university, it's starvation.
Maybe it's time for all to stop bitching and start to take responsibility for our lives. Help others and let violence out of it. Speak and put the gun down.
