Outrage Culture 

When people play the victim card and bend over backwards to be as offended as possible when they really aren't. Using hissy fits, political correctness, character assassination, and a false sense of moral authority, the outrager hopes to gain power and public recognition for their brave act of justice as well as a sense of control over their meaningless existence. Often accompanied by demands for financial compensation for their "pain and suffering".
"Why do we have warning labels that say 'Contains peanuts' on peanut jars and 'Contains milk' on milk cartons? Can't we just go back to using common sense instead of having to litigate everything in fear of lawsuits?"

"We only have the outrage culture to blame."

Faux Outrage 

Pretending one is offended, insulted or generally affronted by something which they really are not. The faux outrage is usually expressed publicly because it is done in the service of an agenda. Those expressing faux outrage usually labor under the delusion that no one can see through them, but most can.
The professional protesters went down to City Hall today to express their opposition to bill 1234. They were drinking coffee and playing marbles until the tv station got there, then all three of them sprung into action and began waving signs and displaying faux outrage after the camera was turned on.

Twitter Outrage Mob 

Sometimes shortened to TOM, the Twitter Outrage Mob is a large group of people on social media sites (having originated on Twitter, specifically) that attempt to cancel others by use of harassment, bullying, shaming, and/or otherwise silencing those who merely disagree with their own beliefs that they force upon others. They spread falsified information that easily gains traction online and usually results in the individual or company in which they are pressuring to conform to their beliefs. They are the ones who are largely behind Western Cancel Culture.

These people can usually be identified as being blue-haired, white liberal women who recently graduated college with a degree in either the social sciences and/or gender studies because they have no practical skills that can be applied to the real world. However, there have been cases of effeminate men who reside in California who also play an active role in the Twitter Outrage Mob. They reside inside of an echo chamber and so are not used to hearing people with differing viewpoints. They immediately believe that that non-conforming person is a threat, and thus, must be terminated.

Performative outrage 

A marketing tactic where media actively looks for unintentional, out of context, or irrelevant things to be outraged over, usually through identity politics, to create a manufactured feeling of us vs them to keep the working class divided. Instead of fixing bigotry it exacerbates it. This tactic works on people who are bored, lack nuanced thinking, and are easily manipulated into tribalism.
"I'm sick of performative outrage. We all have more in common than we think! Now is the time for empathy and understanding, not division!"

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
