Insightful. Let me add that members of ethnic groups who see themselves as “victims” also see themselves as superior, especially to those they believe victimize them. This flaming craziness maintains a polarity that abandons intelligence and breeds violence. It’s a perpetual motion machine that some people live their entire lives inside—and that the rest of us have recently been invited to join.
My response? No, thanks. I’m neither a victim nor an oppressor.
At that point I’m not pitied as a victim, but rather accused of being an unknowing oppressor. My job is to keep my ego out of the game and accept no roles. I ask a few genuinely curious questions. Pretty soon they forget about me in the quest to talk about themselves. The conversation ends when they run out of material.
Wow, I wrote more than I expected to. I’m glad we can do that here! 🗣️
If you felt victimized by superior people, but were humble, you’d simply desire a seat at the footstool to influence them toward righteousness - a la Daniel.

Very good insight on the victim mentality!
If you felt victimized by superior people, but were humble, you’d simply desire a seat at the footstool to influence them toward righteousness - a la Daniel.
And you have the same mindset as I do.
I don’t play either side games.
What you mentioned about keeping ego out of it is the key!
Well said.
My biggest enemy is what I call "The Beta Male". This is a man that runs off of emotions.
He is the one that gets Tribal and acts like a victim. Social movements never last.
They will always implode.
Do you feel you've "Socrates"d them into a bit of wisdom/ red pill / knowledge? If so, any other tips?
