The oppressor

The oppressor is an individual or group that uses power, authority, or influence to unfairly dominate, control, or suppress others. This can happen through policies, actions, or social structures that restrict freedom, dignity, or opportunities for certain people based on traits like race, gender, or class. Oppression often perpetuates inequality and injustice, benefiting the oppressor while marginalizing or harming others. Recognizing oppression involves understanding how power dynamics work to maintain unfair systems, and addressing it requires efforts to promote fairness, equality, and respect for all individuals.
