A key pillar of today's identity politics is a default state of victimhood in a zero-sum world where a crass rubric of privilege is the only determinant of one's outcome. Sadly, when people (are made to) believe they are victims, almost any amount of egregious behavior opens up for them. We should not quietly tolerate puritanical bullying behavior from the far left any more than we did that from the far right.
