Oppression cred stacking

Similar to victim cred stacking, but more general and woke. See: victim cred stacking.

Oppression Rationalization

The intellectual framework that justifies hierarchical control by arguing it is natural, efficient, or for the victims' own good. It uses historical determinism, pseudo-science, or theories of "order" to argue that oppressed groups are inferior, unprepared for freedom, or that their subjugation is essential for societal progress or stability.

Example: Defenders of colonial rule arguing it brought "civilization," railways, and governance to "backward" societies. The violence, cultural genocide, and extraction are rationalized as the difficult but necessary price of progress. This oppression rationalization treats domination as a tutelage, reframing the oppressor’s greed as a burden shouldered for the benefit of the oppressed.

Oppression Theatre

Oppression theater is the practice of implementing public, highly-visible measures to give off the appearance of being oppressed. However, no actual oppression is occurring. It is often done in conjunction with virtue signaling, and self inflicted victimization.

Despite living in a sought after suburban neighborhood, Wendy regularly engages in oppression theatre for attention.
