The regressive tendency of a policy that makes the position of victimhood the motor of political action thus consists in the fact that it deals with an emotion (i.e. feeling offended) that is easy to arouse but very difficult to contain.
The victim is given a prominent role in the double standards: their testimony must be believed under all circumstances, and their actions may no longer be criticized by anyone. The victim is untouchable. The others, the structures and the society are to blame for his situation. He is never responsible for his situation himself. His feelings of being offended are the legitimation to make demands and reproaches.
Counter-reactions are forbidden, because they would offend the feelings of the victim. In a final intensification, even the victim's hatred becomes a quality worthy of protection, and the violence is reinterpreted as a cry for help.
Victimhood secured in this way is the new power, and it is understandable that the victim position is coveted in today's western societies. Thus, there is a proliferation of cases in which people who do not belong to a recognized victim identity aspire to be seen and recognized as a victim as well.
