If you pick a side in any way, you become an oppressor to the opposition. There's no winning here. People will be mad at you regardless.

If you pick the side of the oppressed you are being against the oppressor, that's not opression, that's standing up to injustice, and if the opressors are pissed off, so be it.

@offingg: Even oppressors can claim being oppressed. Being a victim is free to anybody who wants to be one.

@Conscience: It's a claim not a fact, it's really a simple concept, not a philosophical one.
SW-User
@offingg: Everyone makes claims with ideals of justice. There are no facts in opinions.

@Conscience: I don't think you understand what i'm talking about
SW-User
@offingg: I guess I'll just say the same to you then. "I don't think you understand." We can leave it there.
@Conscience: being a victim is NOT free to anyone who chooses to be one. That sounds ridiculous
SW-User
@Poptartinvasion: Okay, I sound ridiculous to you. Thanks for explaining why.

@Poptartinvasion: He's being more philosophical than factual or even political, hes making hypothesis as well. It's irrelevant and he doesn't even realize it.
@Conscience: i feel as if I shouldn't have to explain the obvious. If a rapist rapes someone is the rapist a victim because they want to be the victim ? Or is the person harm in the situation the victim?
@offingg: he's not making any sense is what he's doing
SW-User
@Poptartinvasion: The rapist can certainly claim to be a victim and feel like one if he wants to. That's free to him, regardless of how anyone else sees him.

@Poptartinvasion: He literally said you become an opressor if you pick any side and that the right side is subjective, meaning that the victim isn't a victim and anyone can be one, seriously, massive LOL

@Conscience: That doesn't make him a victim though, in the eyes of law he is not a victim, in the eyes of facts he is not the victim, what point are you even trying to make it's complete nonsense?
@Conscience: do you know the defintion of "victim"? Do you know the defintion of "oppression"? Because it really seems like you don't 😬 that's like me walking around claiming I'm white or asian because I want to or feel that I am. It doesn't work that way.
SW-User
@offingg: You're right about the law. He won't be a victim in that, but facts aren't open to interpretation, like being a victim is.
SW-User
@Poptartinvasion: Ones biology is factual. There's a difference between that and feeling.
@Conscience: there's no point in continuing this conversation.
