The self-infantilization trap starts young and it sets young people back, like kids who are running a race but have to start behind the kids who aren't inculcated with the victimhood mentality. I find it with feminism too (yeah, I say that like about every single comment I make here, but Jesus or Darwin, victim black people and victim white feminists have so much in common!) The irony is no one will admit they think like a victim, or find their tribe weak and helpless, but you can't focus on the future when you're still carping about the past. How convenient for those who'd like to retain the status quo.

😂 It's so true though! So much so that when I talk about one in my comments I often find myself using examples from others. Victimhood, whether it be feminists or black people or trans people is all an expression of the same disease.

Most infuriating is that most of the people claiming it loudest are those least affected by the *actual* problems these groups face. They're just along for the ride because it helps them justify their narcissism.
