“What is the greatest act of empowerment for anyone today?”
“To be a victim.”
“You mean not to be a victim?”
“No, no, individually or collectively, if you can show you’re a victim then you deserve to be championed, and therein lies great power.”
“Is that why the narcissist type who behaves appallingly, then afterwards plays the victim?”
“Yes, I suppose they understand the principle, but of course everything is open unfortunately to abuse, even this most beautiful of truths.”
“And of course there really are a great number of victims in the world of all kinds of abuse.”
“Yes, but we should also be careful about who we champion. Does that person serve a greater cause through their empowering, or are they just some nobody who isn’t worth endowing with this currency of victimhood, and whose endowing may even be harmful to the greater cause?”
“What greater cause?”
“The overcoming of oppression.”
