One clear example is what's happening in the middle east. It seems that the oppressed became the fiercest oppressors.
However I fail to find other clear examples.
- cryptica 2y agoThe Roman empire collapsed at the hands of barbarians which it used to oppress. Most of French nobility was killed off and replaced by peasants. Those peasants are now running the country and EU and are oppressing the population with high taxes, corporatism and globalism. In medieval times, Jews were kicked out of various countries when they became too prosperous while debt levels for the general population got out of control. More recently, the DEI movement also shows elements of this reversal of oppression. Many people will argue that it's now discriminating against whites. These issues are usually controversial because they are backed by tensions between the oppressed and their oppressors. The oppressed will attempt to maximize their victimhood and the oppressors will attempt to minimize their responsibility.
