The Oppression Olympics

People who are not oppressed claim oppression in order to justify regressive legislation and societal customs. This is not a new thing; for example the nazis thought the jews were their oppressors.

Can you provide specific examples of why bringing up nazis was more appropriate than other movements that objected to oppression, like the Civil Right movement, Womens Suffrage, South African apartheid, etc?

It sounds like you are starting a discussion about why you think people claiming oppression today are just falling prey to hysteria.  But then after your thesis, you move straight into "remember the nazis".
