Okay that helps! But I’d argue that applies to many groups and cultures though. Christians in the US think they are oppressed for example.

Yes, but they are a different culture. They are not defined by victimhood in the same way as this narrative which is based on marginalisation and progressive stacks and systems of power & privilege. They are defined by different sets of beliefs.

I would have to disagree there. Have you seen how much money God’s Not Dead made? Lol. There are many Christians who make victim hood and oppression part of their identity.

I'm not denying that. I'm saying it is a different narrative to this one. This is based on Christ saying people would be vilified in his name. It comes from a different place. This comes from a conception of society in terms of systems of privilege constructed in discourse.

This makes language violence and attaches status to victimhood. The book, 'The Rise of Victimhood Culture' breaks this down very well, compares its manifestations to honour culture and dignity culture.
