— The Woke Pledge of Allegiance. One oligarchy, under fraud, with little if any liberty but social justice for all. – Lloyd Billingsley
https://amgreatness.com/2021/05/24/the-woke-pledge-of-allegiance/
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Who have you oppressed? My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am an oppressor, that is, that I oppress those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, veteran, poor, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, moderate, liberal, non-married, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-German American, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. But to be an oppressor, you need to have power to oppress others. What power do you have to oppress others? Those who are officers of organizations have power to oppress the members of those organizations. I have never been an officer of the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, or Illinois Republican Party. Those who run units of governments have power to oppress those who live in those units of governments. I have never been a Wheaton West District City Council member, Wheaton Citywide Council member, Wheaton Mayor, Milton Township officer, DuPage County 4th District Board member, DuPage County Board Chairman, Illinois Representative, Illinois Senator, Illinois Governor, U.S. Representative, or U.S. Senator. Again, to be an oppressor, you have to have power to oppress others.)
https://amgreatness.com/2021/05/24/a-hard-but-simple-way-to-detoxify-american-politics/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The primary, driving force in American life today is resentment. The “oppressed”—sexual and racial minorities, women, the disabled, immigrants, and so on—resent those whom they have been told oppress them—straight, white, heterosexual Christian men. And the “oppressors” in turn resent those who have viciously and baselessly smeared them as moral monsters: racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic. The so-called oppressed resent their so-called oppressors because they perceive themselves as victims of hostile forces outside of their control, while the so-called oppressors, in turn, resent the so-called oppressed just as fiercely and also out of a sense of victimhood—because, in their case, they have been unjustly maligned without any recourse.)
