...generally, in oppressive, #colonial, #imperial and #genocidal systems, if you arent being suppressed for your stance with #humanity...you are still standing on the side of the #oppressor and your position poses them no threat...

the main problem with planet of the apes is that is written with a #fascist mindset that assumes the oppressed desire the "revenge" to become the #oppressor of their oppressors.

but thats just the fear of the fascist from the knowledge of the evils they have done.

the oppressed just want to be free of oppression and live freely.

4 days of hard work to get 8 million, and the first thing i do is to crash it into the ocean (like 5 seconds after this screenshot), realising it costs 10k to repair it(!).

Wasn't as fast or as agile as i thought - and actually feels rather slow, but i heard it can be upgraded. #GTAEnhanced #Oppressor #GTAOnline

In the midst of the global Black Lives Matter discussion, many are now learning for the first time about calls for the defunding and abolition of police. Although there is a rich political and phil…

I think we should be very suspicious of the #memes and posts calling for #blackfolks to "rest" to not showup and showout at #protests. We know that #divideandconquer is the oldest trick in the #oppressor playbook. #blacklivesmatter #BlackMastodon #TrumpLiesMatter #GeneralStrike

"It is not the #oppressed who determine the means of #resistance, but the #oppressor."
—Nelson Mandela

#Resisters take action with clear & attainable objectives in mind. Ideally their objective is decisive (but it may also be shaping or sustaining). This goal motivates members; it also informs the structure of a movement, its strategy, & its tactics.

"I tried to politely but firmly explain to him that the #war needs to end as soon as possible. But, obviously, he didn’t understand that." - U.S. Vice President J.D. #Vance on his meeting with #Zelensky.

This is what #America got. Vance can’t understand how someone can fight for its freedom. Why, when you can just kiss the ring of the #oppressor?

A quotation from Baldwin, James:

«
I suggest that what has happened to white Southerners is in some ways, after all, much worse than what has happened to Negroes there because Sheriff Clark in Selma, Alabama, cannot be considered — you know, no one can be dismissed as a total monster. I’m sure he loves his wife, his children. I’m…

@hanse_mina I would say that there is just one side that escalate the #war in #Ukraine and it's the #nazi #russia and they don't want the Ukraine should be able to defend itself from being #colonized by #nazi #oppressor

I always hear the #oppressor say

'When #youngling of #oppressed can be #proud of their #origin, why can't we?'

Well, the answer is simple... Oppressed are proud of their #root because of what their #ancestors did, how they #survived, #fought and #raised them despite of everything #against them... While the ancestors of oppressors gave that pride away because of their #Criminal activities of taking advantage of their #status created by oppression.

A quotation from Orwell, George:

«
It is a stifling, stultifying world in which to live. It is a world in which every word and every thought is censored. In England it is hard even to imagine such an atmosphere. Everyone is free in England; we sell our souls in public and buy them back in private, among our friends. But even frien…

“One of the characteristics of the #oppressor consciousness and its #necrophilic view of the world is thus #sadism. As the oppressor consciousness, in order to #dominate, tries to deter the drive to search, the restlessness, and the creative power which characterize #life, it kills #life More and more, the oppressors are using #science and #technology as unquestionably powerful instruments for their purpose: the maintenance of the oppressive order through #manipulation and #repression. The oppressed, as objects, as "things," have no purposes except those their oppressors prescribe for them.” —Paulo Pedagogy of the Oppressed

1. Those who judge a demonstration by its most violent participants but do not judge a police force by its most violent enforcers, uses language of an oppressor.
B. If you cast a #protest as violent w/o equally calling out violence from police, you are effectively an oppressor.
III. Judging a largely #peaceful use of 1st amendment based on activities of a #minority who are #violent, while #denying the largely #violent presence of #police at that #protest, is #speaking as an #oppressor.

Succinctly describing the difference of violence by the #oppressor and the #oppressed : https://youtu.be/PniL3avrhNI?si=zQGebhRDOX43-feq

#israel does not get to claim self defence against #palestinians in #gaza after decades of #occupation and #apartheid. One is a #cause and the other an #effect. One side has the power to cease #violence but chooses to subjugate and abuse. Stop defending #genocide and start accounting with the history of #colonial #settler projects.

@curmudgeonaf they do but sadly it’s treated in much the same way #Black history is; positions the #oppressor as a saviour, as a hero and centers the oppressor as if it were the best thing that ever happened to the #Indigenous peoples wherever they landed. Let us keep our governments accountable so that children are taught #history in all its facets and let us refuse to be reduced to the oppression they forced upon us. #bias #racism
