it's a real shame that conversation about how our system hurts lots of different people gets left out in favour of splitting into an oppressor/oppressed divide.

it's a real shame that conversation about how our system hurts lots of different people gets left out in favour of splitting into an oppressor/oppressed divide. In reality almost everybody is held down by the system in different ways, some individual and some by demographic.
Pointing out a group of 'bad people' to pin societal ills on is as old as history itself (scapegoating), but it's never actually helped to solve those ills. We need to look at the structures in our society and how we can reshape them if we are to make life better for people.
