Engineered Oppression is a tactic ensuring perpetual victimhood of the Colonizers as a justification for Colonization. This is why Euro-Christian/Islamic Colonial entities always claim to be under constant "persecution" to legitimize Abrahamic Colonial Bigotry/Supremacy.

This "persecution" is manufactured because it doesn't have any factual evidence, historical context, ignores causation, and is based off of hyperbole, fabrications, and gaslighting.

It also overlooks empiricism, where truth is understood through actual collective cultural experiences. Engineered Oppression libels retaliation to bigotry as subjugation.

The tough, undeterred resistance/retaliation offered to early Christians who converted people forcibly through violence/indoctrination out of supremacy/fanaticism becomes "persecution of Christians", while celebrating the ethnocidal colonizers neutralized as great "martyrs".

Colonial bigotry=unreasonable, unprovoked, irrational hatred for another cultural group.
Indigenous retaliation=opposition to colonial bigotry.

Indigenous retaliation=opposition to colonial bigotry.

Colonial cultures designate the latter as the former, thereby gaslighting Indigenous people by calling them "hateful" for bothering to protect their heritage/culture/tradition against the Colonizing Culture.

This ensures perpetual victimhood, since it conveniently:
-libels Indigenous resistance/retaliation as bigotry.
-ignores the genesis/cause of perceived "persecution", which was Abrahamic supremacist bigotry in the first place.
