1. An extremely unbalanced system of power in which a group of people is being discriminated against; typically found in dictatorships such as Nazi Germany or North Korea. Examples of oppression include slavery in the United States, the Jewish genocide carried out by Adolf Hitler, and the treatment of every single person in Soviet Russia except for its leader. Oppression can have serious consequences, but, most importantly, it can lead to enormous suffering and immense loss of life. The truly disgusting things that oppression has lead to are to be learned from. Don’t live in the past, but learn from it.

2. Someone saying a mean word on the internet.

Example:
John: your dumb
Izzy, he/her, feminist, marxist, fuck capitalism, lgbt: OMG wtf!!! Reported! This is oppression!

Holocaust Survivor: It was horrible, Stevie. The way they treated us, in the camps. I remember, me and some fellow survivors were handed a rotting rat corpse. Its decaying flesh was green and all that was left on its bones were scraps of meat. We ate through it like wild animals. I remember, 3 weeks later, we were starving for that rat meat...
Stevie: Oh gosh, Papa! That’s horrific!

Holocaust Survivor: It really was oppression, and tyranny, evil even, in their purest forms.
