Perhaps ‘”victim” manipulation’ would be more accurate….

“Victim envy?” Perhaps, but as someone who lived through those days of shame during which cowardice became the handmaiden of treason — the Vietnam War era–I saw something deeper and darker. The fools running the country had tried to fight a Kiplingesque war of policy with draftees, and it blew up in their faces. It had been like that commonplace of watching a train wreck. They didn’t have the nerve to win, and they didn’t have the nerve to quit.

Today’s “victim envy” is similar. We can see the train wreck shaping up as the World shambles into a “Camp of the Saints” scenario. In that prophetic ’70’s fable, the literal “wretched of the Earth” drown humanity in masses of the “all too many” by simply showing up of the doorsteps of Western civilization. Coming generations must decide whether to resist or to give it all up.

Dear Neo, this is a fine post for German-history purposes, and understanding present-day anti-semitism on the left. However, I hope you are aware that liberal democracy in Germany is swirling down the toilet as we speak. See some of the recent posts on the Eugyppius substack. Eugyppius is probably the top Covid/Vax Disaster dissident from Germany who writes in English, though i guess expat CJ Hopkins is more famous.

“…but I think his view was that the Germans themselves were the greatest ‘victims’ of the whole thing.”
Ah, so THAT”s why the fellow was so into Neo-Nazi publications?
Got it(!)….

In any event, not as uncommon a view as one might think.
Recall the comment that Reagan was somehow persuaded to insert in his speech at the Bitburg military cemetery in 1985…

(And then there were Erica Jong’s observations of German undercurrents during her sojourn there…in the 60s IIRC…strange as it might be to believe that she could have been shocked by anything….)

It’s psychological and it’s analysis, but there’s nothing Freudian about it.

I disagree. But we needn’t argue the point.

Sometimes understanding the roots and function of something can help you fight it.

Well, only sometimes. I’m not a “root causer.” Trying to understand root causes is an undertaking for historians, not people under attack.

It’s victim envy all the way down.

Rush Limbaugh nailed that one decades ago.

Turning people into perpetual victims is soul-killing, either done to oneself or to others, individually or as groups.
