Thank you for making this actual point.
I find the vast, vast majority of people who use the term "victim mindset" tend to be promoting views that involve not changing the status quo or making legitimate complaints and so on.
- FloorEgg 1y agoFor the record I'm all for changing the status quo. I'm pro people getting involved and doing their part to make their lives and the lives of other people better. What I'm not for, is people not doing those things, and instead putting all their energy into a circle jerk of complaints that doesn't accomplish anything other than distract people from actually making things better.
- bccdee 1y agoEvery productive social movement begins as a circle jerk of complaints. The circle gets bigger, and the jerking gets faster, and suddenly you're in the streets demanding suffrage for women or whatnot.
