An idea for those who feel "oppressed" by the laws of our country

It seems now the cool thing to do is feel oppressed or "unsafe". We always see in the news that people complain they are oppressed by our system and that it's unfair. That it's cool to latch out against authority.


Here are some examples of those who are "oppressed"

Women feel oppressed and want equality.

African Americans feel oppressed, comparing modern times to slavery and the Jim Crow Era

Illegal Immigrants feel oppressed because we won't open our borders to them freely anymore

Muslims feel oppressed by western ideas

However, current day America is one of the most democratic societies alive. People even have the ability to leave if they choose to, a freedom granted by the ability to speak freely about displeasure. Why aren't they leaving if it's bad for them?


women aren't forced To stay home and raise/nurture kids or wait on their husbands hand and foot. or to hide their bodies

We don't have slavery, and schools and society in general are integrated. Public education is free and people have the ability to live where they want. They also have the ability to pursue careers and education previously unavailable.

Some states are opening sanctuary cities and are refusing to deport illegals. And some Americans are fighting for their rights.

So where is this feeling coming from? Is it the media, parents, schools? Is it movies, books, or tv? Why are people urging to be oppressed, when they've never been oppressed before?

Downvote away if you'd like, but this is not a troll thread and is meant for actual discussion.
