Please help me understand logic and oppression?

You guys seem to be good at it. I see that most people use this argument so it must be right.

A is oppressed

B is more oppressed

__________________________

Therefore A is not oppressed

    I like it!

    Actually, it's even more fun than that.

    A is oppressed here.

    B is more oppressed there.

    Therefore A isn't oppressed anywhere.

    Or similarly perverse.

    Your point is well teken.

    There is more than enough oppression to go around!

    LMAO! A is oppressed, but A probably claims B is not oppressed in retaliation that B is focusing on only B. B then figures A is part of the system holding B down. They bicker and blow off steam in GS. Seasons change. Snow falls.

    Please don't feed the social justice warriors. Everybody is 'oppressed' by somebody nowadays. Unless there's an infringement on your rights as an actual human being under your country's laws, you're fine.
