Reactionary gravity → I see a tendency to return to/repeat oppressive modes of thinking, being, acting, etc. even among people who are seeking liberation.

I think critical consciousness can be partially obtained but is limited by reactionary tendencies (essentially oppressor-culture culturally rooted biases and habits)

For example: the liberal is a degree closer to critical consciousness than a conservative, the progressive another degree closer than the liberal, the socialist/communist another. But within each of these groups is a tendency to retain or attempt to return to oppressor-oppressed dynamics; a fear of freedom.
