Victimhood makes you easy to control.
“The combination of the digital age constantly exposing us to new outrages and cultural elites constantly creating new outrages out of nothing has skyrocketed the number of outrages we now face.
In a world prickling with provocations, we cannot let our sensitivities roam free.
If we allow ourselves to be goaded by every visible indignation, we’ll be endlessly distracted from our goals, and easily controlled by emotional manipulators like trolls, disinformation agents, and demagogues.” — Gurwinder Bhogal
