“
Victimhood
chic
”
is
in
style
on
both
the
right
and
the
left
today
,
among
both
the
rich
and
the
poor
.
In
fact
,
this
may
be
the
first
time
in
human
history
that
every
single
demographic
group
has
felt
unfairly
victimized
simultaneously
.
And
they
’
re
all
riding
the
highs
of
the
moral
indignation
that
comes
along
with
it
.
Right
now
,
anyone
who
is
offended
about
anything
—
whether
it
’
s
the
fact
that
a
book
about
racism
was
assigned
in
a
university
class
,
or
that
Christmas
trees
were
banned
at
the
local
mall
,
or
the
fact
that
taxes
were
raised
half
a
percent
on
investment
funds
—
feels
as
though
they
’
re
being
oppressed
in
some
way
and
therefore
deserve
to
be
outraged
and
to
have
a
certain
amount
of
attention
.
The
current
media
environment
both
encourages
and
perpetuates
these
reactions
because
,
after
all
,
it
’
s
good
for
business
.
The
writer
and
media
commentator
Ryan
Holiday
refers
to
this
as
“
outrage
porn
”
:
rather
than
report
on
real
stories
and
real
issues
,
the
media
find
it
much
easier
(
and
more
profitable
)
to
find
something
mildly
offensive
,
broadcast
it
to
a
wide
audience
,
generate
outrage
,
and
then
broadcast
that
outrage
back
across
the
population
in
a
way
that
outrages
yet
another
part
of
the
population
.
This
triggers
a
kind
of
echo
of
bullshit
pinging
back
and
forth
between
two
imaginary
sides
,
meanwhile
distracting
everyone
from
real
societal
problems
.
It
’
s
no
wonder
we
’
re
more
politically
polarized
than
ever
before
.
The
biggest
problem
with
victimhood
chic
is
that
it
sucks
attention
away
from
actual
victims
.
It
’
s
like
the
boy
who
cried
wolf
.
The
more
people
there
are
who
proclaim
themselves
victims
over
tiny
infractions
,
the
harder
it
becomes
to
see
who
the
real
victims
actually
are
.
People
get
addicted
to
feeling
offended
all
the
time
because
it
gives
them
a
high
;
being
self
-
righteous
and
morally
superior
feels
good
.
As
political
cartoonist
Tim
Kreider
put
it
in
a
New
York
Times
op
-
ed
:
“
Outrage
is
like
a
lot
of
other
things
that
feel
good
but
over
time
devour
us
from
the
inside
out
.
And
it
’
s
even
more
insidious
than
most
vices
because
we
don
’
t
even
consciously
acknowledge
that
it
’
s
a
pleasure
.
”
But
part
of
living
in
a
democracy
and
a
free
society
is
that
we
all
have
to
deal
with
views
and
people
we
don
’
t
necessarily
like
.
That
’
s
simply
the
price
we
pay
—
you
could
even
say
it
’
s
the
whole
point
of
the
system
.
And
it
seems
more
and
more
people
are
forgetting
that
.
We
should
pick
our
battles
carefully
,
while
simultaneously
attempting
to
empathize
a
bit
with
the
so
-
called
enemy
.
We
should
approach
the
news
and
media
with
a
healthy
dose
of
skepticism
and
avoid
painting
those
who
disagree
with
us
with
a
broad
brush
.
We
should
prioritize
values
of
being
honest
,
fostering
transparency
,
and
welcoming
doubt
over
the
values
of
being
right
,
feeling
good
,
and
getting
revenge
.
These
“
democratic
”
values
are
harder
to
maintain
amidst
the
constant
noise
of
a
networked
world
.
But
we
must
accept
the
responsibility
and
nurture
them
regardless
.
The
future
stability
of
our
political
systems
may
depend
on
it
.
There
Is
No
“
How
”
A
lot
of
people
might
hear
all
of
this
and
then
say
something
like
,
“
Okay
,
but
how
?
I
get
that
my
values
suck
and
that
I
avoid
responsibility
for
all
of
my
problems
and
that
I
’
m
an
entitled
little
shit
who
thinks
the
world
should
revolve
around
me
and
every
inconvenience
I
experience
—
but
how
do
I
change
?
”
