You’re not the one doing the oppression but everything we consume and many things we can and can’t do all stem from oppressive systems.
Like exploitation of the global South, exploitation from billionaires, the consequences of colonialism, bashing minorities and migrants, religious oppression, etc.
Our first world living standards are all built on the remnants and on current oppressive systems.
I won’t even get started on how that’s not even true within the first world, but our first world conditions are built upon and kept alive by oppression of the third world/global south so yeah a cruel system of oppression is exactly what it is.
The bread and circuses work, apparently. Congrats on being purposefully ignorant to the sheer ridiculous amount of past, present, and future suffering your first world living standards require from moment to moment. All so you can keep your bread and circuses, no matter how much blood soaks through the tent.

But it doesn’t affect me (yet).
