Honor, Dignity and Victimhood
#9
RE: Honor, Dignity and Victimhood
I think it's fairly simple. If you view a culture negatively, you'll attach a negative word to it's name. If you view it positively you'll attach a positive one. I think this is fairly clear by how people describe the 'culture of victimization'. One could just as easily call it the culture of empathy, and could call the others the culture of apathy or arrogance, or even one of them the culture of privilege. Obviously given that you identify with the culture of apathy, you view their use of the court system as frivolous (and are more likely to point out those examples)

I mean take for example the gay rights movement, black lives matter, and even the new atheist movement. All groups who have started to stand up, rather than happily sit quietly while other groups oppress them. None of these things have come out of the culture of 'honor' or the culture of 'dignity'. It's the so-called culture of 'victimhood' that gave rise to it. They bring attention to the public at large sleights like the inability to get married, the lack of trust, and the lack of respect. Some of them go about it in the wrong way--much like others in the other cultures go about theirs in the wrong way (they did, and do). Some of them go too far, but again that applies to all cultures, and those other cultures could be presented just as negatively if one took the time and care to do so.
