>"The so-called "dark triad" personality traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—lead to characteristics like "self-promotion, emotional callousness, duplicity, and tendency to take advantage of others," the paper explains. And "treated as a composite, the Dark Triad traits were significant predictors of virtuous victim signaling." [...] >"They point out that virtue signaling is defined as "the conspicuous expression of moral values, done primarily with the intent of enhancing one's standing within a social group." Meanwhile, victim signaling "may be used as a social influence tactic that can motivate recipients of the signal to voluntarily transfer resources to the signaler," they explain. More from the paper's theoretical background section: An emerging literature on competitive victimhood documents the prevalence of victim signaling by various social groups and provides evidence for its functionality as a resource extraction strategy." OK, I'm not saying I agree or disagree with any of this. But, there might be some words and terminology here for my 2020 lexicon, including, but not limited to: "Competitive Victimhood" "Dark Triad" "Moral Immunity" "Victim Signaling" "Virtue Signaling" "Virtuous Victim" etc.
