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.

A performative display of social justice allyship, intended more to signal moral virtue and gain approval than to bring about real change. Often used by individuals or organizations to showcase their “wokeness” while avoiding substantive action. Think hashtags, statements, boycotts, or outrage — all for show.
Origin: A fusion of allyship (support for marginalized groups) and political theater (symbolic actions with little real effect), typically used sarcastically to critique shallow activism in corporate, tech, or media circles.

And I am the hope of the people who are going to murder your kids if you try.

Making unwanted contact (phone calls, texts, emails, social media).
Damaging property or stealing belongings.
Monitoring the victim's activities (phone, computer, location).
Threatening the victim or their loved ones. Seems like all of that is happening. Especially the STEALING and the monitoring activities bit.

They aren't going to be amd long as the threat against me persists."
