Oppressive Victimhood

 






By: Jonathan Seidel



Marxian oppression and unequal justice


A common theme pronounced throughout liberal ideology is the inequality pervasive between the various classes and ethnic groups. The majority stumps the minority. The minorities are the downtrodden defeated by the majority devil. History of majority discrimination proves this point. Since many groups have been afforded this discrimination they must unite against the oppressor. This is the height of intersectionality. Each newly oppressed group is added to the slogan. This includes women, blacks, homosexuals and muslims. Even if a group was not oppressed but is seemingly rejected by the mainstream patristical westernisation like non-binary and muslim then they included into this intersectional paradigm. It doesn't matter if one was an oppressor or oppressed elsewhere only if that specific society has harmed them in someway. It is a spider web of victimisation. The more groups one checks off the more they have been oppressed. A black lesbian is the height of victimhood even if she herself was never oppressed. The societal polemic is sufficient for the non-antagonised to feel oppressed. It is if the group they ascribe to has been in the past or present. 


This creates its own cognitive dilemma. An individual accepting victimhood without ever being attacked. Yet group identity permits extension of victimhood just as a heritage is passed so is victimisation. It is all about connecting the dots of the oppressed. It turns into a fictional creation whereby the oppressed is anyone in the vicinity of the oppressor. While this at times on social media is exaggerated, there is a seeming truth to the exacerbated narration. This victimhood in many minds is melded into those who were never oppressed to be labeled oppressed or for them to be labeled an oppressor without ever doing anything. A meta-thematic framework is constructed. In this regard, straight white men are the devil incarnate. They are the sole reason for destruction of the world. Even if that straight white man is from Irish peasants or a Jew from Nazi Germany. While this may be true of American history it is not of world history. Catherine the Great, Queen Victoria, Mary Queen of Scots, these are early modern female leaders. Quantity-wise it is minute but there are cases. The issue is that the ruling authority for generations was predominately men and thus oppressive. There were peasant revolts even slave revolts but never women revolts. Spartan women were glorified. African leaders were black, some tribes were matriarchal. On the western front, there is a consistent element for much but not all of its history.  


Selective history is parcel of the ideological motivation but even if they were correct that is not the case anymore, nor were all straight white men oppressors. Majority of people throughout human history were oppressed by classist order. Divine right ruled supreme. Even early America was regulated to those who owned land which was only a subset of the nation. It is only in the past two centuries that everyone has gained rights. The issue is this net pinning all of an ethnicity as perpetrators when most of them were themselves oppressed. The Irish were the first slaves in America. Slaves comes from the word slav for slavic. Many whites in the midwest are impoverished. It isn’t about race but recognition. There may be some systematic bias but this only furthers it. People growing more sceptical. There is prejudice but not everyone is. Blaming an ethnicity for the crimes or failures of those of the same colour is the same as a blaming a Jew for Israel or blaming a muslim for Iran. It is not equal. They are not one and the same. Just because someone is born into a group does not make them an accomplice. Yet this is what people do. It is original sin imprinted on the skin instead of the soul. They stereotype and then conclude that any black man walking in the street with a hoodie is a gang-banger. 


It is a matrix of dubious incarnation. A magical spell deriding all forms of nuance and individuality. It is as if the enlightenment taught nothing. It is as MLK’s speech was negligible. The foundation of a democracy where freedom is the bedrock becomes a war of tribalism. Where did the melting pot go? What tarnished the individualism? Judgements are made and equality flushed down the toilet. The greatest nation built on civil liberties still has a stench of animosity towards difference. A utopia gone awry. The intersectional identity doesn't fix because it only bashes further. It doesn’t solve, it excludes. Any formally oppressed who excels is sidelined. Asians, Arabs and Jews are spited. They constitute the absurd middle of improvement. They are financially secure. Jews are thus white and Asians and Arabs quasi-white. It paints the entire world as black and white. The oppressor is damned. They can never atone. They are the Jew who because of his ontology can never fully atone. It affirms his whiteness on the basis of identity he rejects Jesus and is damned to hell. Yet the white man who converts to intersectionality and pays homage is unredeemed. He is told he can atone but he is a crypto-Jew during the Inquisition. There is no escape no redemption. His blood is tainted, his skin framed. Harassed for who he is, well just take it since the victimised have been for centuries. 


To some degree this seems unfair. Why is it anyone’s fault for their fate. They were born into an ethnic group not of their volition and yet they are antagonised for it. They can’t change who they are, they can’t even take on other’s cultures. That is cultural appropriation. Transsexual is permissible but transcultural doesn’t seem to be too accepting, though that may be out of scepticism. In this climate, the white man must be white and suffer as a white man. There is no out, he is to burn at the stake. Even those who fight alongside the liberation army are placed on the frontlines to die in battle. A new world order of intersectional dominance. Quite graphic but model of new oppression. The marxian model inverted. It is time the oppressed become the oppressor. They must band together to overthrow. Using white men sympathy to defeat them. Kill them with fake kindness. The revolution isn’t about taking responsibility but having the oppressor pay heed to their cause. A child crying for a toy. They scream for revolution and then protest in the street for the white man to change for them. He is a puppet for their change. They shame all those who aren’t part of their intersectional family for not being victimised. 


How this plays out theoretically is itself debatable. The oppressor is permitted to stomp around and commit buffoonery because they are oppressed. They tamper and trample. In extending the oppressor not just a person or a race but to a system enables them to include the non-oppressed and the successful as accomplices to the oppression. It is not about whether one is white but they are classified as such. Success must be based colour than character. The variety of congressional ethnicity is not sufficient. A black president is insufficient. Women haven’t been elected nor has a homosexual. Yet people aren’t voting for such a candidate. Hillary lost to Trump. If all the women and all the liberal men worked together Hilary would’ve won. Haley would be in the running but she is not. There are three hundred million Americans and apparently it’s a a psychosis preventing feminine victory. Agencies may be to blame for lacklustre diversified achievements but then again there are diversified athletes who are millionaire and even billionaires but seemingly don’t raise their communities up. They do not attempt to change the globe. They hope that others will do it. Pander enough, complain enough and someone will relent. There is representation and it is growing but the changes aren’t happening. 


Thus the childish syndrome persists. The glaring dilemma is obvious in the ethical imbalance. Since it is a structural framework everyone who is part of the oppressive is more accountable than the victim. The victim is a child who doesn’t know better. Their sins are minute compared to others. The feudal system inverted. A peasant’s crime is more tolerable than a lord’s. If a lord hits a peasant he is punished but not vice versa. The hierarchy is inverted and the entire system an upside down pyramid. Only the oppressor can sin. A parent with responsibilities and a child with no accountability. Treating those downtrodden as idiots who couldn’t tell their left from right. Mockery is one sided. Those privileged folk have a higher moral ceiling. Privilege is parked with power. Ethics are tied with status. Discrimination is against those who have been historically marginalised. These marginalised communities are capable of committing evil to justify their past hardships. A bad deed for them is smaller than that of a privileged person. While advocates claim this is merely due to the imbalance of power, it is essentially a childish tactic. Getting away with crime because of identity and burdening others because of their identity. At the core power is just an excuse for immaturity. You were wronged in the past so now you can justify it to entire identity. You provided free passes by the fate of your existence. Yet how this dynamic is structured is subjective.


The ethical promise is only for certain minorities and not for others. Anti-semitism is permissible but not anti-black sentiments. Jews are white and thus can be racist against. They are capitalists and communists simultaneously. Asians are left out of the fold. They are discriminated against but it is all a joke. The funny faces and nerdy comments are just for kicks. Those who excel in a white world are part of the problem. It wasn’t perseverance or endurance but luck. They are part of the devil’s squad. Success is accosted. Blacks or gay conservatives are maligned. Brainwashed by Fox News. They are traitors and sellouts. All the while the advocates are tricked by grifters. They look to their race-bating intellectuals who have stolen their money to raise themselves but not those they promised. Where is the change? Where is the trajectory heading? The hierarchy is a reassumed befalling victimhood. Unwilling to parse with inequality. The white man runs the world and he must be punished. All white people for past sins, their Jewish and Asian collaborators must suffer as well. Sounds pretty christianesque. Only fortifying the socio-ontological dogmas of old. Furthering the necessity of a winner and a loser. The scale must be inverted to further the hate so now the oppressed can become the oppressor.
