How oppressed are they?

In his Morning Rant in the Ace of Spades blog, Oregon Muse makes some very important observations.
"STOP OPPRESSING US!" shouted Black Lives Matter as cities burned and millions of dollars of donations poured into their bank accounts.
You know, they don't look oppressed:

-Most of the media is supporting them

-Most of corporate America is supporting them

-They have money coming out the wazoo.

And if you work for Cisco, you can get fired for dissing them.

That's how oppressed they are.

BLM has taken crybullying to a whole new level.

The following mayors have demonstrated by their actions that they are entirely supportive of the goals of BLM/Antifa:

Ted Wheeler, Portland, OR
Jenny Durkan, Seattle, WA
Lori Lightfoot, Chicago, IL
Bill de Blasio, New York City, NY

It must suck to live in those cities, watching them burn while your mayor cheers on the arsonists.

Meanwhile, de Blasio's priorities are whack:

Even as violent crime and deadly shootings in New York soar, Mayor Bill de Blasio has reportedly assigned no less than 27 cops working in shifts to protect a Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower.

In progressive ideology, there are basically two groups of people, the oppressors and the oppressed. The BLM/Antifa crybully mob likes to portray itself as the oppressed, a struggling oppressed minority. Most of the media appears to have bought this line.

But here's the thing: if all you have are the oppressors and the oppressed, then you can't really be against oppression *as such*. Your real beef against oppression is not the inherent injustice of oppression, but just that the wrong people are doing it. BLM/Antifa want to be the oppressors. They think it's their turn now.
