Interlocking Oppressions

I think it's vital to emphasize the directional nature of oppression because otherwise the actual dynamics of who is being harmed and how much by it gets lost in a vague individualist 'everyone suffers from oppression' sentiment.

But I also think it's important to see how forms of oppression interlock. Even if this were not omnipresent, solidarity would still be vital, but the fact that it is consistently interlocking like this only increases its importance.
