Nobody ever gets anywhere in life feeling sorry for themselves and playing the victim card all of the time, but that is the foundation of leftish politics in Western countries... the foundation of Marxist political/socio/economic theory, to take it back to its root. It really seems like they think that Europeans invented war, slavery and genocide 500 years ago.
I play a game with my left wing friends that I like to call "pick your victim group". Feel free to spread this around the internets. Since everyone who isn't a straight, white, Christian male is some kind of victim in the Western world today, it's pretty easy. My current one: rape in Sweden has skyrocketed, obviously due to the increase in Muslim immigrants; even the police and media can't keep this fact under wraps. Do you a.) stop immigration and be a racist/Islamophobe to help victim group women, or b.) throw a racial/religious minority victim group under the bus by banning them to save victim group women?
The most common answer I get is, "The police aren't doing enough." Left wing adults are really good at helpful advice like that.
