Systematic Oppression

The use of violence invariably creates resentment and hatred, which only promotes more violence.The cycle can be mad and endless. The victims of unjustified violence become the aggressors and themselves commit unjust acts of violence against others, those others respond in a similarly brutal way, and the destructive bloodbath continues, until everyone is grieving for the loss of those closest to them.Oppress is the negative outcome experienced by people targeted by the cruel exercise of power in a society or social group. It is particularly closely associated with nationalism and derived social systems, wherein identity is built by antagonism to the other. The term itself derives from the idea of being "weighted down."
The term oppression is primarily used to describe how a certain group is being kept down by unjust use of force, authority, or societal norms. When this is institutionalized formally or informally in a society, it is referred to as "systematic oppression". Oppression is most commonly felt and expressed by a widespread, if unconscious, assumption that a certain group of people are inferior. Oppression is rarely limited solely to government action.(from OCCUPATION 101 "Voices of the silenced majority")
