The progressive left sees the world through the lens of who is being oppressed and who is doing the oppression. The difficulty with this paradigm is that there are no policies, rules or standards as to who is an oppressor or who is being oppressed. If someone says something that the progressives do not like then the speaker is declared an oppressor. This is an easy way to turn people against anyone by calling them the oppressor.
The oppression society that has been created has one effect: The victim class. All the darlings of the progressive left are victims. The trans-gender, the people who can’t get a wedding cake made, the single mother, the hungry child and on and on it goes. Watch any left-wing news program and you will quickly see that every story has a victim. Today, more than ever, President Trump is the bully and everyone else is the victim. At least that is how it is portrayed.
The goal of America, the American dream, the reason America was founded was because there was real religious oppression in England. People came to America and with the idea that everyone could be king, everyone could be the master of their own fate, the idea of victim was sup[posed to be related to the occasion crime. Yet today, for reasons that I cannot fathom, the victim class is the highest form of life in the political arena.
People would rather be on disability and get government handouts, and be a victim, rather than work hard and become something great. This is why 60% of people in California are on some form of state disability, according to ABC news). Because it is more noble to be a victim than to be a victor.
In God’s kingdom, there are no victims, just disobedient, rebellious depraved people. Victim indicates that something is done to them, that they are oppressed in some way. Yet reality is that people rebel against God and sin oppresses people. They are offered life and they choose death. They are offered adoption and they chose isolation. The world has it backwards. Instead of elevating victims to the highest level of honor, lift up Jesus, the Victor to the highest level of honor and he will lift you up with him.
Where is the joy in being a victim, having no power, no place and being relegated to the bottom society. Perpetual victims are just that. A perpetual victim may get government money for a while, but it will not last. When it all falls apart, and it will, victims will be left behind. Only those with true position in the kingdom of God will remain.
The progressive left has convinced everyone to give up, claim to be an oppressed victim and cry and whimper. Where is the joy in being a victim and relying on others for your value. Fall on Jesus and take what he has for you: Eternity in glory where there are no victims.
