I haven't glorified being a victim. Quite the contrary. I just refuse to glorify anything the exploits and relies on someone being a victim.
That is, my question is what sick thought made it acceptable to take repression and holding down of full segments of a population under the guise of them individually not standing up for themselves acceptable?
Seriously, the evidence is quite clear that this attitude is complete nonsense and only works for people that have certain advantages already.

And to be ok with that is a truly disgusting collective consciousness problem.
