A Philosophical View
I have come to the conclusion that the brainwashing of this population, which has been accomplished much due to ‘public’ (government) schools, media, historical inaccuracy, (lies) and government propagandists, is now not able to be overcome. What that means of course, is that I have accepted that this population as it stands today, will not be able to prevail against the indoctrination, ignorance, and false beliefs, especially ideologically, that are fully imbedded into the psyche of the masses. This is a hard pill to swallow, as it indicates that any great ‘awakening’ of worthwhile value, one in which the many would, mentally and physically, turn against rule in favor of natural law and actual freedom, is now nearly impossible to imagine. This is not a good sign by any measure.
One aspect of this insane weakness and inability to function as a normal, confident, and critical thinking individual, is the most asinine practice of victimization. Today, most everyone expects to be treated as a victim of one sort or another, based only on irrelevant labels, name-calling, body language, ‘chosen’ preferences and ‘beliefs,’ pronouns, and are so puny and mindless as to allow any of these things to progress to such a silly conclusion as to control their lives. Real victims do exist, but they are not the loud-mouthed, obnoxious, and self-pity morons who attempt to prove their so-called victimhood by whining about name-calling, using their minority status as a weapon, using their fake an/or perverted 'sexuality' to gain recognition, to use color and ethnicity against anyone white, or to latch on to the now thousands of bogus 'syndromes.' Excessive emotion, 'feelings,' fraudulent sensibilities, and so-called 'inequality' do not victims make. Being legitimately harmed has nothing to do with the cowardly and weak of mind when discussing the subject of ‘victimhood.’ The children of Gaza are real victims, so keep your mouth shut and act like an adult when you are called a name of which you do not approve. Get over it! And men, go back to being men instead of wimps and wusses.
Yes, this society almost in its entirety, practices in one form or another, victimization. There is absolutely no good in this attitude, and in fact, it is little more than a recipe for failure and hate. People have of course been led to this asinine state of being intentionally by the ruling class and its controlled and obedient politicians. This is a certainty; and was used as a way to divide the proletariat, and division always leads to a society against itself, leading directly to an enslaved population. Obviously, this tactic has worked perfectly for the governing State, as now, everyone is against everyone else, and all those claimed 'victims' will achieve only a future life of bondage, just as soon as they are no longer useful to the effort of controlling the masses through the division mentioned.
In case any are still unable to see what has happened in this country over its total existence, let me remind you that almost everything happening today is so bizarre and ridiculous as to be clearly insane. Life in this country is now based on nothing of value or tradition, and what freedom did briefly exist in the past has completely disappeared. This has been accomplished by design, and accepted voluntarily by the masses of obedient indentured servants. This state of being is not bound by contract, but by the bulk of societal participants who willingly turn over their lives to an evil master class called government.
This comes from the bowels of pathetic weakness, all based on a population that has succumbed to mass dependency. Most everyone wants something, but believes that anything desired is due them regardless of any effort on their part. This is the irrational and absurd notion of 'equality,' something that does not exist among individuals. I am speaking here of the equality of outcome, which is pure lunacy. The term 'deserving' comes to mind, a word that would be better off eliminated in any society of actual thinking individuals.
Of course, the next false notion to fall should be that of 'rights.' There are no real rights, except the right of every individual to his life, which entails all other legitimate rights of man. A right to one's own life means a right to sustain his life, which leads to a right of private property. It also means a right to defend oneself from aggression by any means necessary. One should pursue the right to be left alone, period, especially by evil governments, but that 'right' has to be actively pursued by actionable force. All real rights are steeped in the non-aggression principal. All other so-called rights are not rights at all. For example, no one has a right to "free" 'healthcare.' No one has a right to housing. No one has a right to tax another, or approve any tax by proxy. No one has a right to be supported by any other human. No one has a right to a job or employment. No one has a right to infringe on any liberty of any other. No one has a right to demand respect of anyone else. No one has any right to stolen reparations. No one has a right to be defended by the children of others, or by State forces.
What this means is that any and every 'law' legislated by any government, other than the natural rights of life and man, is bogus, and an afront to all freedom. All laws (millions) by the State should be totally ignored, as they hold no weight of right. They are arbitrary and enforced by extreme aggression. No one has any right to rule over any other; therefore no one has any right to delegate rule over another. This exposes the outright tyranny of rule as illegitimate, for one who has no right to rule cannot give a right that they do not possess to any third party or governing body.
No government is legitimate, no war or aggression is legitimate, so no government rule is legitimate. The reason we live under such illegitimate oppression, restrictions, and bogus laws, is because so many in society are victims, weaklings, wusses, and irresponsible dependent fools who allow this totalitarian situation to exist. They, as a group, are a detriment to all who would choose to be responsible for themselves and their families, and rely only on natural law, logic, and sound reasoning. The real problem then, is not only government, but all those who support government. That is the majority of humans, and why real freedom will likely never exist so long as nation-states exist.
Worship of nation is worship of rule. Worship of State is an admission of being a slave. All proper thought relies on self, for without self-knowledge, self-improvement, self-worth, self-advancement, and self-responsibility, no group or organization can legitimately exist, except as a collective mass of non-intellectual, confused, followers in a herd without justifiable purpose. To protect from the harm of rule, individuals have to be present, and willing to take action on their own behalf; en masse and without excuse.

A brilliant rundown of the "victim syndrome" , Gary. It is notable, in my opinion, that this is the very manner by which the state of Israel was started and continues to ply its barbarism and inhumanity. I am speaking of the "holocaust" and the way in which that event (questionable in so many ways as to its very truth) has been used and developed over the last 75 years or so, to allow the perpetration of so much evil. If we want to play the "chicken and egg game" as to who first thought of using victimhood as a weapon, we don't have to look far. I personally believe that the discombobulation of the social order which you so articulately describe, is the creation of either "those people" or their A.I. compatriots. It is thus (again in my opinion) far worse than just the evils of government systems. We are enmeshed in a planetary takeover by very unscrupulous actors (or aliens) who will use the tools at hand, whatever they might be. It just happens that creating a victimhood for "one's element" has proven a convenient and seemingly unstoppable technique for filling the void (vacated by the out to lunch population) with the most unspeakable evil. Sad to say, they aren't done yet. Their little pager gambit in Lebanon was just a taste of what the rest of us can expect now that the "devil" has the upper hand.
PS: As for "victims", I've found that most conversations with people involve them talking about themselves and complaining about every little thing. It's boring. I only talk to people about the weather, and they complain about that.
