CMV: Throughout all of history, the Majority always oppresses the Minority

I would say this is just something I've notice thanks to my interest in history. The sheer amount of examples is just overwhelming. The Tutsi and Hutu, catholics and protestants (the oppressed and oppresser change depending on the country it is happening in), Christians and Jews, Russians and Ukrainians, Europeans and Natives. All of this has made me belive that, no matter the origin or beliefs of any kind of group, so long as they are in the majority, they will find a why to oppress another minority group. I would say that this falls under the whole US vs THEM thing, where the only difference between two groups that is nessasery for conflict is the fact that the two groups are not each other. I've posted this mostly because I was feeling a bit depressed about the idea of this (I don't have depression but it did make me feel a bit sad).

At this point, this feels rushed rather than thought through Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.

Without overthinking it, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which explains why reactions are split That part stands out. We’ll see how people react over time.

Without overthinking it, this comes across more reactive than planned which is why this is getting picked apart That part stands out. Curious how this plays out.

On the surface, this feels rushed rather than thought through which turns this into more of a debate That’s just how it reads to me. At least from my perspective.

From the outside, the way this is presented changes how it lands which is why the comments look the way they do That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

If you zoom out, this solves one problem while creating another which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like there’s more coming here. At least from my perspective.
