Scott Adams succinctly expressed this principle in 2000.

Lazy people complain as if the very existence of their discomfort creates a moral obligation on the part of observers to alleviate the alleged distress.
The point isn't to address the supposed problem, the point is to use social pressure to extract resources from "others" and transfer them to the complainer.

His books are really good

It's like they've taken "I don't want solutions, I just want to complain!" and created an entire service industry around it. It's almost kind of impressive in some macabre way.
