This. It's like people who play victim. Playing the victim is easy. Nothing is ever asked of victims, nothing is expected or demanded of them, they bear no responsibility to fix the problem or problems, they are never at fault. But, the flaw of victimhood politics is this:

Stan Lee once said,

With great power, comes great responsibility.

Let us consider, that perhaps the statement also makes sense inverted. So, read it like this.

With great responsibility, comes great power.

Now, remember how I said victims bear no responsibility? That means they bear no power. No power but the power they are given.
