Our current society worships victims, but unfortunately your kind of victim is not numerous enough to get mainstream attention.

- john_moscow 7y agoInterestingly enough, our society worships victims that either could not be helped, or that would take a lower-than-median place in the social ladder after the help arrived. It's like people feel better when they hear about someone who's life is more miserable than theirs. Asperger dude who could become extremely productive and wealthy once he assigns the right priorities to sleep, noise reduction, and seeing through other people's bullshit, doesn't fit this pattern at all.

SLeep the issue, they live vampire hours and terrible flat for noise and with that, it's a slow death. When I accepted this place I asked: 1) I need a silent area at night 2) No heroin users as had issue in past I was lied to and suffered ever since, apparently downstairs is the biggest known crackhead heroin user in the area and been instrumental in bringing heroin into the area and with that, it's been downhill ever since at a time I didn't need it and now I'm mid 50's, burned out so many times, physical and mental health issues, I'm spent and never going to get back to full time work and even then. I have no stability in routine due to antisocial impacts that still happen to this day and....see other comments.
- gridlockd 7y agoPeople don't worship victims, they use victims as means to some end, like attaining political power or social capital. By extension, victims must stay victims to keep fulfilling that purpose.
- Zenst 7y agoYou know what, you're kinda right as that would explain so much, more victims they have, bigger budgets, it's just....so so wrong.
- haolez 7y agoThe ones that use victims use them by making others worship those victims. I'm not saying this is good or bad, it's just an easily observable fact.
