No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Easy. The answer is that you stand up for the oppressed group.
Why, exactly, do you think that's a contradiction? When a group is in power, they are by definition not oppressed.
In all of your examples - all of them - there are oppressors in power, and there are oppressed that are not.
As generalized groups,
In case it really needs to be said - obviously, not all Muslims, cisgender women, or Israelis are oppressors. But all Palestinians and most LGBT people are oppressed.
Palestinians are not "the Muslim world" and by the way, painting such a massive and diverse group as an oppressive monolith is disingenious at best. The same should be said for associating all Jewish people with the actions of Israel - it's fundamentally wrong.
The answer remains the same, in any and every case. You stand up for the oppressed group.
Doing so is the only way you stand for:
And since you seem to really want to beat the nuance out of all human existence with your teacher comment - no, individuals being shitty to each other doesn't change anything.
If an oppressed LGBT who happens to be a racial majority is racist against an oppressed minority who happens to be a homophobe - guess what, they're still both oppressed - but as individuals, they can also just be shitty. They don't have to be treated as oppressors, insofar as you need to stand up for one against the other.
Unless one is actively in power over the other's life and uses that power to oppress them, in which case the answer remains the same - you stand for the oppressed.
