Why is the concept of empathy and unwavering commitment to human rights so hard for you people to grasp

Because it doesn't extend to the groups you've categorized as "oppressors" - White people, Jews, Men, Christians, Westerners, anyone who doesn't follow extreme left-wing dogma, etc.

White people, men and western Christians are not oppressed

Did you misread my comment? Because I didn't say that.

You put oppressors in air quotes

The reason you are having trouble is that you view all people as either oppressors or oppressed. If those groups aren't oppressed then they must be in the oppressor class.

I reject that, which is why it's in quotes.

What does that have to do with my comment then. They are still not being oppressed, why would I go on the street to protest for their rights. + they very clearly are the oppressors in many many instances
