Victim mentality or martyr complex in individuals is an acquired personality trait / disorder. On a individual basis the person tends to view themselves as having been victimized through no fault of their own, the tendency is to seek a villain or victimizer to blame for ones problems.
Feminists, Gays, Liberal 'Progressives' and other non mainstream groups have adopted much of this strategy into their Arsenals.
In extreme cases a victim mentality manifests itself as, or progresses into neuroticism and at times mushrooms into hostility, aggression and violence. All human beings are subject to a Victim mentality to one degree or another. The mildest being the tendency to blame someone else for your own shortcomings and the inability to accept responsibility for ones failures.
"The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true deserts. He ascribes all his failure to get on in the world, all of his congenital incapacity and damfoolishness, to the machinations of werewolves assembled in Wall Street, or some other such den of infamy." ..H.L. Mencken
On a societal basis victim complex or oppression mentality is frequently instilled in minority groups and is studied under the psychology of oppression and social oppression. Groups that have historically been truly oppressed, either by design or by circumstances, and groups whose situation leads them to perceive themselves as being oppressed will commonly find themselves further victimized by social engineers and 'community organizers' who seek to capitalize on this phenomena. No Social rebellion, upheaval or Revolution has ever been realized without instilling an Oppression mentality in the rebellious class.
Moses lead the Jews out of Egypt because, as per the Biblical narrative, they were persecuted by the Egyptians. The bible only makes a minor passing deflection to the Jews having stolen much of Egypts Gold when they left [1]. The Hebrew- Egyptian conflict was the classic oppressor/oppression scenario which has been replaying itself perpetually.
Marxist theory attempted to rally the have nots against the haves aka Class warfare. Overthrowing the haves and creating a Utopian never never land was the ultimate goal.
Nazi theory took Marxist theory to a new level and placed all the blame for Germany's misery on Bourgeois capitalism and the 'International Jewish conspiracy'. They viewed Capitalism as a construct of the Jew designed for the subjugation of the Aryan and Communism as practiced in Russia as Jewish Bolshevism, basically Jewish hijacking of the Socialist dream for continued World Domination.
Social engineers, liberals, Islamofascists, Socialists, communists and other fascist oriented groups will frequently take advantage of a sense of group victimization to stir up support to justify otherwise unjustifiable actions, which is evident in the case of National Socialism.
Oppression Mentality as a Tool of the Left
Fast Forward to the 21st century and we have the echoes of Christmas Past bearing gifts of oxymoronic racist hypocrisy. The once oppressed, now unwilling and unable to surrender their victim status are force fed a steady stream of tainted data by a Liberal Progressive Propaganda machine. Their need to feel victimized becomes justified and is nurtured and pandered to by a machine manned by 'useful idiots'.
In recent years Feminazis, Gay activists, Black Lies hypocrites and assorted mechanization of the sociofascist machine have been capitalizing on the sociological phenomena of oppression psychology to rally their forces. Instilling and reinforcing a sense of victimization in their followers is vital. Creating a stigmatism of shame in any opposition via Jamming, a form of psychological terrorism intended to silence expression of or support for a dissenting opinion [2].
Modern day socio-fascists in America, aka Liberals / Progressives will always depict themselves as victims, when in fact they are more often than not the victimizers and oppressors.
Sociofascists will always attempt to create a stigmatism of oppression whether any actual oppression exists or not. Social justice warriors simply adore abstract concepts, even when they are devoid of any shred of feasibility or truth. So long as a False Narrative can be spun around any event or circumstance you can bet the left will seize upon it. 'never let a serious crisis go to waste.' Rahm Emanuel - Obamas Mentor
