This can't be what real policing looks like. Lols.

Real. Though I'm afraid I do not recall the source.
As Angilion was saying (but shorter), the goal appears to be everybody guilty, all of the time.

No, not at all. The goal is for people with the "wrong" group identity to be guilty, all of the time. Which is, of course, the point of group identity politics. Why would anyone do group identity politics unless it was to oppress "them", for whatever value of "them"?
If you want some obvious good examples of the goal, look at the treatment of "black" men in the USA or South Africa in the early/mid 20th century or the treatment of jews in most of medieval Europe most of the time. That's the point of biological group identity politics - all that varies is the target group(s).
Or read Animal Farm and 1984 from George Orwell, which the regressive left seems to be using as a guide to obtaining power rather than as the warning of potential dystopia they were intended to be. No people, just group identities. All group identities are equal, but some are more equal than others. Corruption of language, especially language used for concepts they hate such as progression, equality, diversity, tolerance and freedom. Doubleplusgood blackwhite newspeak! Minitru would be proud. Lies are truth, war is peace, etc.

In that case I apologise for putting words in your mouth. But let me answer your rhetorical question about why someone would oppress everyone rather than a subset of "them". Because their goal is an attack on society as a whole. This Identity Politics is pushed by internationalist organisations and is well-calculated to undermine the entirety of society. It's an ideological cancer that is capable of killing the host that supports it. Proponents self-oppress to counter their own perceived "privilege" because doing so gains them social status. And it does so because media and groups push that perception. Plenty of Identity Politics obsessed Left Wingers are apologising for being White Men. Lots of heterosexual people are calling themselves Queer. You ask why someone would have the goal of oppressing their own group? Because in our society today, perceived oppression gets you power. The Oppression Olympics. We have a society that is structured like children in a class with an authoritarian but clueless teacher. Violence is solely invested in the State and thus struggle has taken on the form of who can most show they are a victim and thus gain the most from indulgence from the teacher and the most force directed at others.
In our society, there is no higher power than to be a victim and no higher virtue than to be ashamed of one's privilege.
Oh, I've read them both. I humbly submit that oft-overlooked OTHER dystopian novel that came out around the same time as Orwell's 1984; that of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. The one predicted we would be enslaved by the state. The other, by ourselves. So far, both are proving right.
