Do you think there is a way to reverse the societal trend where people who claim to be victims and or offended seem to get rewarded and woe unto anyone who tries to make them see reality. What is really sickening is seeing people be lauded as heroes for the most nonsensical things like believing you are the opposite sex, being a millionaire while claiming to be oppressed, or talking about how fat you are to thunderous applause.
I really think to massively overused words today (besides racist) are victim and oppressed. Definitely takes away from actual victims or oppressed people in the world who get zero recognition.
I know some think I am naïve for believing it but I am a firm believer in judging by the content of character and looking at the individual. I think everyone should have equal opportunity. Yes, that means certain groups will be overrepresented and certain ones will be underrepresented. Such is life. Perhaps that would force some people to look at behavior instead of jumping to the victim mentality safety blanket.
Granted that would be if I could wave a magic wand, but I am a bit more pessimistic. Do y'all think there is any way to reverse this trend? I have had a little luck dealing with individuals but more failures than success.
The problem is society rewards people who play victim, at least the ones in favored castes. In that sense people are responding to incentives and those incentives need to change for the behavior to change in any big way. How to change those incentives is the million dollar question.
The woke retards on social media are a lost cause. They're worthless empty people who live for likes and attention on social media, and woke bullshit is a first class ticket to getting that. Someone who's just in a shitty situation and thinks it's because of some kind of bullshit oppression might be salvageable. They need to be made to realize they might get validation from leftists by playing up their intersectionalist cred and whining about how hard they have it, but it won't fix the real problems in their life. They're not gonna get laid, get a good job, make enough to afford a place that isn't in the ghetto, etc by wallowing in self pity. In the end they need to look at their situation logically and make a plan on getting where they want to go, wherever that is. If they do that they'll realize that playing victim will only get in their way.
Yea that is the hard part. Removing the incentives
