Welcome to the conversationsations to that Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. I realized after I recorded my podcast yesterday

I never actually went through the scripture that I said I was going to go through. Part of that was I think I just I have an internal clock now and I realize when I should be

wrapping up a podcast and I wrapped it up. I knew I had something else to talk about and then right

afterward I was like oh yeah I was going to talk about this story so I decided to make this a whole

separate podcast and and I'm to include you, leave a comment if you have an explanation for this, but the topic, I was using Cruz Lens's Institute as an example, but the topic of the last

podcast was more broadly speaking, how social justice activists seem to always put themselves

in the position of being the oppressed.

They're the ones that are, it doesn't matter if they have all the power, all the money,

all the resources, all the influence, all the platforms, all the property, everything. it doesn't matter if they're the darlings of the media and academia and every institution that has any power whatsoever

they are always the oppressed ones.

Always, doesn't matter if those who are trying

to shine a light on what they're doing,

explain what they're doing, oppose what they're doing,

are people like me with a little bitty podcast

and a webcam.

It doesn't matter if it's someone with hardly any

actual institutional power, political power, any of that, they're always in the position of being the oppressor.

They could be impoverished. They could be living in the hills of Appalachia with nothing to eat and hardly any, you know, teeth because there's not a dentist around.

But if they oppose the revolution, they're the oppressor.

And if it's, if they're against you know Bill Gates and such a nice man with the vaccines that he wants to give to everyone right he's he's the one in favor of social justice he becomes the oppressed I mean it's like I'm giving you a

ridiculous example but I'm just telling you it seems to almost like not even

matter that's how it works it's it's the oppressed oppressor designations are determined not by the things that they say that they're determined by. They say it's all about social location.
