Systems of oppression are MADE UP.  They are FAKE.  The ways that people are categorized into oppressed/oppressors
castes are also MADE UP.  Human beings
created these divisions, benefit from these divisions and enforce them…which
means that we, who are also human beings, can change them. We can, at least, be
a small part of the long, difficult work of changing them and live with the hope
that this all adds up some day.

Not one person “naturally” has the traits of the oppressor
class. It is in no one’s essential nature to cut off their empathy for other
humans beings.  It is taught. It is
taught constantly, violently, by every social institution from the youngest
possible age in order to brainwash us into believing these systems are
natural. What’s natural to human beings is empathy and trust and vulnerability and that’s why our society has to spend an enormous amount of energy punishing those natural impulses. Part of what we have to do to
fight back against these systems is name their artificiality and identify the
ways that we are brainwashed into believing otherwise.
