Social Stratification, The Age-Old Oppressor, And Kaino-Oppressive Thinking

They try to push you into a "socially inferior" position.

In trying to put you in that position, they try to make you look and feel like you are the one who says or does things that are wrong.

Christians in the US,

Kaino-oppresive* thinking, which is the thinking of the age-old oppressor in modern form, wants you to look and feel like you are the one saying or doing something wrong if you do not support its self-centered, controlling, and prejudiced ideas, and one way those who think this way will try to do that is by trying to push you beneath them as if you are inferior to them. It is a type of social stratification.  You see that type of behavior from oppressive mindsets throughout history. 

In a history class where kaino-oppressive thinking is pervasive, try asking a student nearby to join their group for the next group project after you just had a discussion about America.  If you had mentioned that you were a patriotic person, a number of students in the class likely would have rolled their eyes at you.  “Can you ask someone else?” will be the response of the student with the kaino-oppressive mindset, and they’ll ask that question with contempt. 

Then, you will find yourself working by yourself in that class while students around you talk about how "mostly racist white guys are patriotic” (while posing itself as a criticism of racism, it is actually racist thinking itself because it portrays white people as being racist as a characteristic of their race; meanwhile, you hold the patriotic belief in genuine equality between all races of people). When this happens, they are trying to make you a “socially inferior” member of the group.  In trying to put you in that position, they try to make you look and feel like you are the one who says or does things that are wrong.
