It’s sad to see so many Americans turn into losers, pathetically demanding to be treated as victims, all so the emotional vampires on the Left can feel better about themselves for helping such pathetic sad sacks.
Liberals LOVE for people to think of themselves as victims. They love for people to go through life furious, upset over things most people wouldn’t even notice. They need you alienated and angry so they can control you and turn you out at the polls, so they can get their sick little self-esteem boost for helping a poor little mediocrity like you.
If you’re black or Hispanic and think white people hate you, if you’re gay and think the Christians want to wipe you out, or if you’re a woman who believes the patriarchy is keeping you down, you’re going to have an unhappy life. It doesn’t matter if things are going well or you have success; you’re going to be angry. You’re going to feel mistreated. You’re going to walk around chalking up every normal event in the world to bias that primarily exists in your head. You’re going to nurse grievances. You’re going to be unhappy.
As consolation, you can half-ass your way through life and chalk up your failures to “white racism,” “those hypocritical Christians,” or “the patriarchy.” You can live with the illusion that, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, you’re fighting for women’s rights, or, like Martin Luther King, you’re trying to reform a society teeming with racism -- but that only makes you sound like a joke. Stanton was fighting for women’s right to vote. Today, feminists whine about having to pay for their birth control. Martin Luther King was fighting for equal rights, and today liberal “black leaders” spend their time bitching about whether hoop earrings are cultural appropriation. There are legions of liberal Don Quixotes jousting with windmills and pretending that the trivia they obsess over gives meaning to their victimhood-centered lives.
As an extra added bonus, you get to be the person who stops all the fun when you walk in the room. You get to be the one always accusing random white people of using white privilege or explaining that eating Chinese food is cultural appropriation. You get to be the one throwing out fake statistics (“There’s a huge spike in wife beating on Super Bowl Sunday.”) and constantly playing the “I’m more sensitive than you” game. People have to hold back jokes and to walk on eggshells around you because they don’t want to listen to your tedious lectures about how they’re not “woke.”
There are whole communities that have been governed by black liberals for decades that blame all their problems on white Republicans -- all because people grow to love that victimhood. They love that ready-made excuse for every problem in their lives. It isn’t because they didn’t go to college and they talk like they’re ignorant that they can’t get a job; it’s racism. Black Americans aren’t going to jail in higher numbers because they’re committing more crimes percentage-wise; it’s racism! Americans are sick of Barack Obama? Must be racism. They can sniff out hidden racism like a drug-sniffing dog on a pack of cocaine, but they can’t ever admit that 95% of their problems are self-created, just the same as they are with every white American.
Nobody of any race makes you choose to have unprotected sex and get pregnant at 16. Nobody makes you choose to have three kids by three different baby daddies. Nobody makes you flunk out of school. Nobody makes you spend money on partying instead of your rent. Nobody makes you assault a police officer. Nobody makes you rob a house and get a criminal record. It’s not oppression. It’s a sub-culture that says you can make every mistake in the world, but your screwed-up life is still someone else’s fault.
There are women, gays, and minorities around the world dying to get into the United States. The ones that get the opportunity to do so legally spend thousands of dollars and put up with years of paperwork to come here. You think that’s because it’s such a racist, sexist, oppressive country? It’s ridiculous. It’s silly.
It’s not a white thing or a black thing, a male thing or a female thing, a conservative or liberal thing. If you’re a conservative white male who blames all the problems in your life on black people, you’re a loser. If you’re a liberal black woman who blames all the problems in your life on white people, you’re a loser. If you’re a woman who blames all the difficulties in your life on “the patriarchy,” you are a loser. In life, if you’re going to be not just successful, but happy, you hold yourself responsible and take care of your own issues. If you don’t like how something in the world is, you try to change it, but you don’t whine and cry and talk about how terrible life is for you because you were born the wrong race or sex. Hold yourself to a higher standard than that. Look for the opportunities that often get missed because they require some work. Be a better person and stop lying to yourself about oppression in the least racist, most welcoming country in the history of humankind.
i was upset when obongo was “president” so I understand how they feel
One thing he leaves out is that the underlying cause of "liberalism" is a rejection and a hatred of God their Creator.
If you don't have peace with God, you will never be happy. I know people who are wealthy. They surround themselves with a fortress house, and obsess about losing each and every dollar and possession they have collected. They do not realize that despite the iron gates they built to keep the world out masks the fact that the thing they fear the most is inside of them. They don't have God. But at least they don't strike out in violence and hatred at their fellow human beings like I have seen liberals do.
The "grievance" crowd seems to seethe with hatred.
God is the solution.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13
Just because there are no actual oppressed people in the United States of America today, does not keep the liberal moonbats from inventing some grievances and letting some group or another adopt those grievances.
“Hate crimes”, supposedly somehow more heinous than the actual crime itself, have been added to statutes all over the United States, not to control crime, but to control thinking.
Once upon a time, no one could be held accountable for thoughts, so long as they did not get converted into actions. But now, this has been changed by nuance, so that somehow the INTENT can be read into what may become a crime, but never actually carried out, by reading the minds of those who impose “superiority” over the less fortunate and what are now termed to be “the oppressed”.
Never mind that some 95% of all the personal woe in this world is self-induced. Bad judgment gets punished in almost every instance. The Universe is cruel. And unforgiving.
That is how good judgment gets developed. When the consequences of bad judgment are excused, or litigated against others, then critical thinking disappears. People become wolverines or Tasmanian devils, sheer ferocity without any possibility of either logical thought or engaging in deliberate discourse.

No more oppressed Americans - now that the American hating, illegal alien, homosexual, racist muslim is out of the White House.

All We Are Saying, Is Give Anarchy A Chance...
There is one other important aspect of the victim culture that the author failed to point out. Victims are always looking for revenge against those whom they perceive as the victimizers. This is why those who peddle victimhood love to trot out scapegoats. Every tyrant has a scapegoat class; in the US, the scapegoat class is white males. Tyrants achieve and maintain power through division and violence, and that is the ultimate aim of those promoting victimhood culture.
This is such a complex topic, it seems that it could be someone’s master thesis.
Losers having a hard time selling self pity and anti white ideas hate is the only thing in their blood.
The left is the Cult of Victimhood. It’s what they’ve been about for decades.
