Life Under Victimocracy
By Daniel Greenfield

In America there are two types of people; the
oppressed and the oppressors.
The
oppressed oppress the oppressors. And everyone
including the oppressors agrees that this is only
fair because the oppressors deserve to be oppressed.
After all they are the oppressors.
They deserve to have the money they earn taken away.
They deserve to be sent to the back of the line when
applying to a college or looking for a job. They
deserve to be beaten, robbed, raped, and taunted
with slurs that would lead to national outrage if it
were directed at the oppressed.
But they’re the oppressors. They deserve it.
If they complain, they deserve to have their speech
censored. They are the oppressors. There’s no
telling how much oppression they might dish out if
the oppressed don’t keep them down.
That’s just life in the Victimocracy.
With one sob story too many, one whine too great,
one more PBS special, special report about the
plight of the oppressed and episode of Donahue, the
country changed. The oppressors still had the
democratic refuge of elections where they could by
sheer numbers vote to retain their civil rights, but
most of the other mechanisms of governance had
ceased to be democratic and instead became
victimocratic.
To have real power you had to be a victim or one of
their protectors.
The Victimocracy is a lot like any other tyranny. In
an aristocracy, power belongs to the nobles, in a
theocracy, power belongs to the clergy, in a
meritocracy, to anyone with skill and a work ethic.
But in a Victimocracy the biggest and angriest
whiner wins.
In a Victimocracy, suffering is the exclusive
privilege of the elites. No one else is allowed to
suffer except them. No one else has ever been
oppressed, has felt pain, been insulted, abused,
degraded, enslaved and ground down into the dirt
except the very people who are grinding you into the
dirt now.
Victimhood is what entitles them to special
privileges, it’s what ennobles them as a superior
class of people and gives them the right to rule
over you. They are the victims. What they say goes.
Victimization is the currency of their power. They
have 1/16 Cherokee blood and high cheekbones. They
are ‘triggered’ by loud noises and differing
opinions. They spent their twenties “coming to
terms” with something because of the lack of sitcom
role models for their favorite sexual preferences or
skin color. They are all survivors of something or
other. They were activists and someone once said
mean things to them. And if all else fails, they are
deeply passionate about the plight of the oppressed.
Like, seriously.
Now stop oppressing them and educate yourself by
recognizing their right to oppress you.
The Victimocracy is based around the superior moral
power of their suffering. That is why no one else is
allowed to suffer except them. Their convoluted
theories of social justice eliminate the very
possibility that the source of their exclusive moral
power can be experienced by anyone else. They have
strived to warp language around their political
narcissism to define suffering as an experience
unique to them.
They will assert, for example, that anti-white
racism cannot exist because racism is not
interpersonal but a structural product of power
relations. Since everyone knows that America is a
white male patriarchy, white people cannot be
oppressed. They can only be the oppressors. Because
of the patriarchy, men cannot be sexually assaulted.
Christians cannot be religiously discriminated
against. Americans can’t be blown up by Muslims. Any
claim otherwise is a lie intended to oppress our
oppressed oppressors.
Victimocrats are narcissistically infuriated by
the suffering of others. Many tyrannies applied the
whip and the lash, the prison cell and the gulag,
but they at least left those they abused in
possession of their suffering. The Victimocracy
denies its victims even their suffering.
Victimocrats reject the humanity of their victims as
thinking and feeling beings with the same needs and
boundaries as themselves.
The Victimocracy rations empathy. Empathy is the
election of its system. The biggest victim wins and
his suffering licenses his abuses. The bigger the
victim, the bigger the abuses he is entitled to
commit. If the empathy flows the wrong way, then
power shifts and the entire system collapses. To
take over a society, the Victimocrats must control
its education and entertainment to structure its
empathy flow their way.
Victimocrats must appear weak to gain power. They
must always seem beleaguered, under siege, abused
and threatened from a thousand different directions.
They must be made to seem underdogs. Even if a
Victimocrat sits in the White House, unilaterally
dispensing with the lives and fortunes of a nation
with phone and pen, he must remain a vulnerable
victim of a terrible history of racism.
The Victimocrat must always be seen as a weak victim
in need of rescue from those he oppresses.
Never able to argue a thing on its merits, the
Victimocrats shift the debate to the moral high
ground of their own oppression. It is impossible to
disagree with them without somehow invoking
stereotypes, flashbacks and the return of the white
male patriarchy riding back into town on the last
thing you said.
The Victimocrats are always in need of rescuing. No
matter how much power they have, someone is always
abusing them. And once that happens people of good
will are called upon to condemn the abuse and to
reinforce their power structure of the oppressed
oppressor and the oppressive oppressed.
Victimocrats don’t win arguments. They convince
others that they are entitled to avoid the argument.
In the Victimocracy the illusion of weakness is
power. The weak are entitled to disproportionate
power to protect themselves from the rest of us. The
weaker they are, the more power they need. And the
more power they get, the weaker they grow until we
live under a tyranny of the absolutely powerless who
wield absolute power.
Sometimes the oppressors wonder where their
incredible power is supposed to be. They don’t have
all that much money and no one seems to have taught
them the secret handshake that will unlock the heavy
iron doors of the heteronormative patriarchy where
the patriarchal plutocrats sit around the table
drinking the tears of Obama, Oprah and various
Hollywood celebrities from human skulls.
Their oppressors tell them about their privilege, an
invisible power to oppress others that they never
even knew they had, but the privilege never really
explains why they have to work harder, die sooner
and be berated constantly for even existing. And
they die and their oppressors take what they have.
There is no end to the oppression because the
Victimocracy has to grow. America is always more
bigoted than it was last year because the
Victimocrats need more power this year. The more
oppressed Americans become, the more they must be
denounced for victimizing all the nice people
running their lives and robbing them blind.
The
Victimocracy rules by manufacturing an urgent crisis
of oppression. It demands special measures to deal
with the crisis. The temporary measures become
permanent. Rolling them back would be an act of
oppression. The permanent measures turn out to be
insufficient. They must be redoubled.
Each Victimocrat victory is “a significant step
forward” but there is always “more work to be done.”
And like all lust for power, the work never ends.
The oppressed want more. The oppressors make do with
less. The protectors of the oppressed, who actually
run the Victimocracy, announce that more speech must
be censored, more wealth redistributed and more must
be made unequal to achieve equality. A better world
is around the corner, but first the one we have must
be destroyed.
Only when the balance shifts permanently and the new
world is born, will the oppressors be allowed to see
for the first time that they had been the oppressed
all along.
And then it will be too late.
