Presumably it's because some people aren't simple-minded enough that they need to desperately cram every possible statement about any topic into the same tired framework of victims and oppressors.

Try and imagine having the ability to be concerned with the plight of disposable labor in the modern economy and yet still (gasp) capable of noticing and commenting on other facets of the situation, like how the press chooses to frame their coverage: that's what's happening here.

It's simple minded to think there are not victims and oppressors in the real world.

Those who are actually concerned with the plight of disposable labour will have little issue with the press having the same concerns.

I'm sure it is. Good thing nobody here is claiming that (I'm certainly not).

My comment was about the fact that your upthread comment is a complaint about someone discussing any other facet of the issue than focusing on the power dynamic between the employer and the employed. Not everyone is afflicted with this obsession to the point that they're unable to see anything in the world but through this single lens.
