      You’re not the one doing the oppression but everything we consume and many things we can and can’t do all stem from oppressive systems.
      Like exploitation of the global South, exploitation from billionaires, the consequences of colonialism, bashing minorities and migrants, religious oppression, etc.
      Our first world living standards are all built on the remnants and on current oppressive systems.

      I won’t even get started on how that’s not even true within the first world, but our first world conditions are built upon and kept alive by oppression of the third world/global south so yeah a cruel system of oppression is exactly what it is.
