So many people in today's culture seem to embrace the victim status

Yes, 'the left' is abusing you. You are such a victim of 'the woke movement'.

Whats interesting to me is how much people speak in these coded ways that suggest they are completely programmed. Its always the same things, its sort of fascinating to see how these spread around, to every nook and cranny of the internet. Then when I hear people IRL say these same things its like a red flag.

It goes a bit beyond the victim stuff, but its same thing essentially. Both sides do it. It becomes really obvious where people are getting their news/views. But the conservatives far away take it to the next level. Which I think just speaks to their media perhaps being less diverse.

The right is lead by the biggest victim in the history of victim hood. Anything that doesn’t go his way is “rigged”. “They worship victim hood...”. You worship history’s biggest victim. You can’t possibly be this self unaware!

The whole "woke movement" is coming from the left...

You cannot deny this....

Constant outrage is coming from the right.

I am not looking for sympathy and not looking to be labeled a victim. I'm just another person who has to deal with society's BS. But I expect the BS to be flung around constantly and im ready for it. I do feel bad for true victims, but when a privileged American tries to play the victim card when in fact they've been granted copious privileges and opportunities which others don't have, it ticks me off a little bit. And yes the media is a big problem, that can not be overstated.

It's okay that you have authoritarian impulses. It's not okay that you want to act on them.

Let me clarify. The anti-vaxxers play the victim card when they have to show proof of vaccination or if they are excluded due to their choice.

Healterseltzer is right and you're wrong in two ways; 1. There is no "The anti-vaxxers" since the is no vaccine in the conversation. Just an emergency drug. 2. Those people don't play the victim, they're being made victims and scapegoats by the authoritarian inclined people like you who struggle with people having different opinions than the manipulated mainstream. And BTW, labeling people with negative terms is a propaganda practice straight from the worst times in the Communist block (1950's).

My problem is that you have these privileged Americans calling themselves victims, when they are well off. All the while, there's people in the world (Americans think they're the center of the universe) who have no rights, are slaves, victims of abuse, have poor health and resources--they are the real victims.

So when some privileged black or even white american woman like Megan Rapinoe cries that she's a victim, it's a slap in the face to the real victims in the world.

And then you have the Chinese puppet LeBron James, who claims he's fighting for human rights yet he bends the knee and shuts his mouth about China (because they pad his wallet substantially) which is enslaving women and children in awful sweat shops to sell his merchandise--not to mention the Uighurs atrocity currently taking place amongst other things that LeBron is unsurpriaingly silent about. He only cares about human rights that are convenient to him. He is a Chinese puppetmaster.

How are you dealing with it?

You just described yourself. You have a problem with yourself.

And yet when Hassan gets knocked down, doesn't even contemplate crying to the officials like a lazy American, or going on TV to talk about her anxiety and s---, but instead gets up and dusts everyone, you all down her.

In case OP needed more evidence to support his claim ^

Also, OP you are exactly right. The most American thing you can be right now is a victim. Just look at the white/antivax/anti-mask/male grievance threads that come up everyday

In truth everyone will always be the victim of something. If a new law is voted in by the majority that disadvantages me I am objectively the a victim. Why wouldnt i want to try to change things that are bad for me. It makes no sense to pretend not to be a victim for the sake of it

Good post, Precious, a little soft porn a little, a little common sense.

Uh-oh, this happen to you? It's actually pretty simple: don't fvck!ng touch a woman who doesn't want you to. Most men are able to control this impulse and be decent human beings. If you can't, and I mean this sincerely, get help before you do something truly heinous.

You do realize that America is seen as a world leader, right? That many people that you are pretending to care about in other countries that are 'the real victims' have benefited from the social movements in the US. Our culture is one of our biggest exports. The example we set is followed by many others.

Sooo, OP, are you victimized by this phenomena?

It has worked incredibly well for organized Jewry for a long time.

Power thru perceived victimization.

The wealthiest, most powerful and entitled group in America has constructed more than 100 memorial to its victimization in WWII in the USA alone.

One memorial for centuries of slavery and none for centuries of genocide that took place right here in America, not an ocean away, and lasted quite a bit longer than five years

What a sucker. Having God knows what forced into your body and it you object you call that whining?
