Part 2/8:
The speaker argues that everyone faces hardship in some form—be it physical, psychological, social, or ancestral. They point out that many individuals carry burdens related to their looks, intelligence, health, family background, and personal histories. This multiplicity of oppression, they contend, creates an intricate web where each person's victimhood is unique yet fundamentally similar: we are all, in one way or another, messes of past and present difficulties stemming from the combined weight of human history and personal circumstances.
However, this acknowledgement of universal suffering does not lead to solutions but to a problem of complexity. The more we try to parse, categorize, and address everyone's grievances, the more chaotic and unmanageable the process becomes.
