Ooh, oppression! but still... I think it needs to be on account of some trait or characteristic. Surely you can loathe me for some particular reason???

Your initials are L.C., same as Lon Chaney. Isn't that enough?
True confessions: I have no clue who Lon Chaney is. I gather he is some celebrity or another? That whole world is basically cut off to me, because I am faceblind, and so actors, etc. are complete mysteries to me. When they change their clothes, they become new people to me. Which makes it darn hard to participate in lunchroom conversations.
My wife is also faceblind. Not a big movie fan. I'm not a big movie fan for other reasons. We both enjoy live theatre because they go out of their way to make it obvious who the characters are from scene to scene. Our local Shakespeare-in-the-park company does this exceptionally well.
Yes indeed! We (friend, kid, and me) go to a lot of plays. They work better for me, because the main characters rarely change clothes, and the cast is so much smaller. And of course when it's Shakespeare, I know the story already...
Need more oppression? Call your car insurance company to follow up a claim. Press any number you like. They'll either refer you to a different department or just cut you off and make you start again.
Not in Canada. We only offer oppression in two official languages.
And with passive aggression! Last year I was in a corner of Ontario with a large francophone minority. I had to contact a number of different agencies to arrange for my father's home care. One agency had a recorded message in English, "For service in French, please press 2." Yes, we offer French-language service, but we'll offer it to you in English.
NZ has NZ Sign as an official language (besides English and Maori). It wouldn't work on a land-line but there would probably be a suitable app for smartphones.
I am a gay man in a very red US state (Kansas), I am a priest in what is commonly referred to as a "Vagante Church" on this board. I am a liberal in a raving Red family. Do I win any prizes for these???

existential yowling at the full moon works for me.
Have to wait till Dec. 11 here for that. Oh, dear. Deferred gratification: how oppressing!

Can Odin make you a flying sedan chair, carried by two beefy Vikings?
May I be oppressed by the appalling elitism evinced by your comprehensive knowledge of Shakespeare?
Archaeology shows some Vikings invaded the small island where my ancestors lived about a thousand years ago. My ancestors slaughtered them.
Bugger. Commiserations.😡
Sounds kinky. I like.

OK...I think it might be something like this ... as a church.
Sounds like some obscure rural disease, as in "my sheep's off her feed with a case of wandering bishops".
Wouldn't know about that here. They don't allow Bishops in These Parts. Presumably sheep get wandering elders instead.
