    > Movements love survivors, at least certain kinds of survivors.

    > The inspirational survivor. The grateful survivor.

    > The survivor whose trauma can be packaged into a fundraising campaign.

    > But the moment survivors become politically inconvenient support has a way of evaporating.

    > It's the largely unspoken investment in what might be called the "perfect survivor." It shapes which voices get amplified, which stories get funded, which people get invited to speak.

    > It determines who counts as credible, who counts as a liability, and who gets to define what harm looks like.

    > The perfect survivor is sympathetic, compliant, non-threatening.

    > The narrative confirms existing frameworks rather than challenging them, leaving the audience with the sense that the systems in place are fundamentally working.

    > The problem is that real people almost never fit these narratives.

    > Many survivors have complicated relationships with the systems that claim to be helping them.

    > Some have criminal records accumulated while surviving. Some still engage in sex work by choice or necessity. Some return to underground economies because alternatives they were offered proved unstable.

    > Some survivors simply refuse to organize their entire sense of self around victimhood - not because they are in denial, not because they have not processed what happened, but because their identity is larger than their trauma and they decline to perform otherwise for an audience.

    > Movements that cannot tolerate complicated survivors will never build liberation for the people most exposed to violence in the first place.

    > They build something that looks like liberation, uses the right language, and celebrates the right symbols, but quietly abandons the people who needed it most

    > Liberation movements built on conditional acceptance do not dismantle hierarchies. They reproduce them with better branding. The logic of deserving and undeserving, of credible and incredible, of safe to platform and dangerous to elevate, persists.

  9. Conservative politicians in #Alberta, from #DanielleSmith and #JasonKenney on down to #PierrePoilievre and #PrestonManning, have used the rage of Albertans as the fissile material powering their own political ambitions. In the process, they have created a generation of #grievance #junkies, people who are absolutely addicted to the idea of their own #victimhood at the hands of a corrupt federal government.

  21. ⬆️ @stuffifound

    Learn to use quotes. I never said "they don't deserve to live in safety and freedom now".

    I said #Palestinians REJECTED COMPROMISE and, along with their Arab neighbors, started the war in 1947. So they are neither blameless nor bloodless.

    The defeat became known as #Nakba (#catastrophe), but quickly turned into a story of pure #victimhood.

    Spread your victimhood propaganda elsewhere. BOTH #Israel and #Palestine have blood on their hands and it's a problem for the whole world

    They all mean just one thing: The Enemy

    Don’t complicate matters. Don’t dig in to specifics. It’s just the same old #fascist #victimhood rhetoric, with ”restoration of former glory” of the only ”moral” people ”delivered” from an entirely narratively constructed attack by the ”immoral people”.

  27. #streetsOfLondon #McTell #emotion #victimhood
    I want to get others' thoughts about the song, Streets of London: not the fine music (except in the Tabernacle Choir version) but the lyrics. As I understand McTell, he's saying, "Look; you may feel bad, but compared to these other folks, . . . give it a break." Only he sings it sweetly, with a "I want to help you gain perspective and feel better" tone. Even so, my hackles do something at the words, "How can you feel . . . let me make you change your mind."
    Do you take this is poetic liberty, hyperbolic rather than literal?
    I think of the song as less about the person he's singing to than about wanting to tell the story of people he's seen and met. And you?

  29. one of my favourite experts in #narcissism, #borderline and #psychopathy #DrSamVaknin explains why #psychology is a pseudo science and we are now in the age of #victimhood.

    #GifsArtidote: his explanation is very interesting i think. you can't change if you constantly get validated (as a victim). only by taking responsibility for your self and the situation you are in, and act differently, you have a chance to live happier.

    my motto of 'change the world start with your self' is therefore correct, only the goal should be to be your best self without causing harm. life is about building the strongest relationship with your self. everything else will follow from that. end of the day, nobody can do this for you, only YOU can, and it takes every resource you have.

  34. Be very aware of victimhood games in politics. Always ask Who claims to be the victim, who profits and who loses, who is the 'aggressor?

    We are facing an attempt of "platformization" of victimhood in a Muskian way. In all the world the real victims of injustice wll be painted as aggressors.

  35. Paxton:

    #Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obessive preoccupation with #community decline, humiliation, or #victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and #purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democraticliberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legalrestraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

    "In the book, Beinart calls on the Jewish community to abandon a long-held narrative of persecution and victimhood in the wake of Oct. 7 and Israel’s war on Gaza. He urges Jews to tell a new story, one that recognizes victims can also be victimizers."
