Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

Quote:In this paper, I examine the ideology of white supremacists and separatists, which portrays Whites as "victims." I first review several convergences in the recent literature on white supremacist discourse. I argue that the "victim ideology" has been discussed frequently, but generally only in passing, and in the service of other arguments. Following the approach to victimology suggested by Holstein and Miller (1990) I present an empirical constructionist analysis of these "victim claims," breaking them down into five themes — (1) discrimination, (2) rights abrogations, (3) stigmatization and the denial of pride, (4) loss of self-esteem, and (5) racial elimination. I conclude with some comments on the theoretical and social role of this ideology, and its use as a recruiting tool for the contemporary white supremacist and separatist movement.
Have I described whites, collectively, as victims, anywhere in this thread? I must have, because certainly you wouldn't straw man something so fundamental, and so oft-repeated by you, if I'd said nothing of the sort. Right?

The only thing I believe I've said about that is that you keep using racist comments toward me, and that I think this is typical of the kind of group demographics by which the PC Left insist we view the world.

It's pretty well known what PC means, and it is explicitly linked-- explicitly and by definition, mind you-- to the differential treatment of members of demographic groups based on that membership.  It frames social issues in terms of victimization or oppression by those groups.

This is not really up for debate, so far as I know:
