What kind of question even is this? Did you really just ask what it matters to people being oppressed that others wish for comforts that came at their expense?
I don’t think the oppressed care if you are wishful for this or that time if it makes no difference to them. They’d probably understand that you were being wishful for a time when things were better for you, same as they undoubtedly are if things have become worse.
The idea that you’re never allowed to be wishful ever, even when things have gone worse, because someone somewhere is always going to be oppressed is a bit nonsensical.
I bet Iranians now are wishful for Obama, for example.
Did that oppression stop or why is missing those times so bad?
Irrelevant. The oppression didn’t stop beforehand either, and what came before enabled what we have today.
Did you just not read the comment at all? That’s literally what was being explained.
