What are oppression across multiple modalities?

Imagine you're playing a game where someone keeps making it harder for you to win, but not just one way, multiple ways at once. That’s oppression across multiple modalities.

Think of the playground as your world. One kid might trip you when you’re running (that's like being oppressed physically). Another might laugh at you loudly (that's oppression through words and emotions). A third might take your toys (that's oppression in things you need). All three are making it harder for you to have fun, but they're doing it in different ways.

It’s like being on a team that’s trying to stop you from winning, and every member of the team uses their own special trick. One might push you (physical), another might shout at you (emotional), and another might hide your favorite ball (material). You’re fighting all of them, not just one.

So, oppression across multiple modalities means being treated unfairly in more than one way at the same time, like having several people trying to stop you from winning a game.
