Victimhood has become a virtue

[Alexanderr]

Being a "victim" will now have you be regarded as a hero. Society places an emphasis on people victims of anything- discrimination, sexism, racism and applauds them for their struggles. It's incredible really how somehow being the victim of something, of anything will have you be regarded as a symbol of bravery.
Why do you think this is?

It's because your achievements don't mean anything anymore. Doctors, engineers, etc. get 0 respect in society.
Only thing that matters is looks (determined by genes) and old-money (determined by luck).

If you weren't born in the right family with the right genes, you are a victim and stand no real chance of ascending. Which is why this has become the most important aspect of modern society.

Are you a victim or are you privileged?

On female victims, men nobody cares about them, it’s a flaw

Slave morality and spread of nihilism, which has now replaced religion and morphed into a victim worship cult.

Everyone's felt oppressed. Everyone's felt like a victim in their own minds at some point, real or imaginary. So seeing a fellow victim will lead to gaining sympathy. You relate you're alike. A woman can easily gain sympathy from women,and white knight men. black from black etc... relatabiity even if it's based on morals.

There's a hidden phenomenon though, which is social engineering. Some individuals are learning to use this victimhood to their advantage to commit crimes and horrible action. All while framing themselves as the victim. Very dangerous. Very difficult to see. As someone who has first hand experience with this I doubt that those victims that aim to gain that much clout are really that innocent after all. You might seek justice. But if you see someone who indeed wants to look like a hero then its advisable to open your eyes.

my issue with the whole thing is the failure to acknolwedge any nuance. it's always innocent pure victim vs evil malicious pereptrator.

often both sides have done some pretty heinous shit and/or bear some partial responsibility. absolving one side of all wrongdoing and then appealing to "victim blaming" in response to legitimate questions, as if it is more than just a convenient buzzword to further your agenda, is not only morally dishonest but also sets a horrendous precedent for future justice

The disparity in wealth has never been greater than today. And the means of escaping slavehood has never been more limited than today in this world with massive taxes and lack of opportunities.

Even just 40 years ago you could buy a house if you worked a full-time job out of high-school. Today this is a dream. And it will continue getting worse.

The average citizen is slowly being turned into a slave, if he isn't already.

Maybe on straight, white males.
A gay man victim of homophobia will be heralded as a hero. The black guy victim of police brutality will be seen as an icon. A transgender that fell prey to transphobia will be admired.
It's quite frankly all around us.

Somehow victimhood has become an indication of moral righteousness. He/she is a victim so they must be good people, even though they could be horrible people all the same.

 

[JBcollector]

Well yes that's why incels are not allowed to claim Victemhood
As it would take power away from women

Want to guess which religious group managed to build a state on the idea of eternal victimhood and shields itself from any criticism by always referring to their supposed vulnerability?

Simple: Because leftist liberal cucks have taken over and they love everyone who is not a white male.

Kinda reminds me of George “fentanyl” Floyd, everyone felt bad for that career criminal because they were convinced that his killing was racially motivated.

The funny thing is the media and normies don’t care about police brutality, they only care about it when it lines up with their BLM agenda.

The BLM saga has been one of the weirder things to happen in the last couple of years. Police brutality is one of the lesser issues the black community faces.

Black-on-black crime rates are sky-high. If you are black, the danger isn't the police officer on the street- it's another black man.

So I never understood how the emphasis could be on police brutality, a relatively minor issue meanwhile the imperative is supposedly the safety and livelihood of black lives.

If you are a poor (black) man, the biggest threat in your life is the elite converting you into a senseless wageslave.
The police's main priority in society is protecting the elite's assets and interests. They work for the elite to keep the status quo as it is.
(Them rich, you poor)

Black-on-black crime is just people in equally shitty life situations, with no means of escape, fucking eachother over because they don't know any better. Crabs-in-a-bucket kinda thing.

Racism, BLM, etc. just come down to the perpetual struggle between classes.
People born into wealth and power on one side, and people born with 2-7 offsuit as their hand on the other side.

And then you have the massive group in the middle on a median income, no wealth with 10-2 suited hearts as their hand that pat themselves on the back. Because hey: 'atleast it aint 7-2 offsuit'. And 'if a lot of hearts come up in the flop, I could have the best hand in the end!'.

But ofcourse hearts on the flop never come as the game was rigged since the start anyways.
