Oppressors have a repressive attitude toward others. They have a need for power and dominance.

Explanation:

Oppression is the painful experience of deliberate arbitrariness, violence and abuse of power inflicted on an individual, society or group of people. The term repression is often used synonymously for this.  

Oppression arises from the general, also unconscious, assumption that a certain group of people is inferior or without rights. Oppression is seldom limited to governmental activities. Individuals can also be victims of oppression if they lack the solidarity of a social group.

Oppressive individuals, in turn, are those who exert repression on others. They are generally narcissistic and megalomaniacal people, who have a wrong self-perception of their virtues and negatively weigh the virtues of other people.
