The moment we decide only victims have moral standing, we incentivize the performance of victimization and seeking of victimhood.
What if, instead of equating oppression with status/authenticity/moral authority, we acknowledged oppression with the intent of working together to erase it?
working? the concept of working is colonization and white supremacy. the only decolonial course of action is to forever complain about one's lot (and occasionally commit mass murder or rape about it as an act of "resistance.")
There is no "bettering one circumstances," there is only becoming an oppressor.
