@secondson saidIt is sadly amusing that the OP was made on the 25th and people have been asking about it for days without spending the time watching it. Soon I can imagine more time will be spent talking about something not watched than it would have taken to watch it. Sheesh, DO NOT WATCH IT, move on with other things you do care about!
And you should start a thread titled "How to sidetrack a discussion with off topic comments", or, "How to be intellectually lazy".
@kellyjay saidI believe the term 'victim culture' is merely a red flag code word for the right. I do not believe there is any such thing as a 'culture based on victimhood'. Certainly, there are victims and perpetrators in society. Minimizing the trauma actually visited upon actual victims, by calling it a 'culture', is merely an excuse to avoid recompense to these victims. I cannot agree with this philosophy. And for Christians to latch onto it to avoid actually caring for their neighbor is abominable.

@suzianne saidI am surprised you said anything about this considering you told me you were going to watch it, and it appears you still have not.

@kellyjay saidI also do not watch videos that call Hillary Clinton a 'murderer'.

"Victim culture" is a huge red flag, alerting those who already agree with the premise. I do not.

@suzianne saidWell I don’t think Hillary is mentioned at all in anything I have written here, any where at any time if I did it wasn’t memorable. I only said I am surprised you commented, since you told me you were going to watch and didn’t. I thought your word was about watching it meant you were going to. You did not have to say you were, if you were not going to, that was my surprise. Red flags about what and who I assume you think you know what is in the video because of one word

@kellyjay saidI was going to finish watching it, as a favor to you. I eventually realized that it would be a complete waste of time. One doesn't title something with a phrase that has nothing in common with the content. Those who use the phrase "victim culture" have an agenda I do not subscribe to. It is akin to 'blaming the victim', and I cannot give it credence. I would have the same stance even if I watched it a thousand times. It's exactly like putting lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig. And this agenda is still evil.

@suzianne saidAt least you have said that you have not bothered to watch it and assume it is terrible. When I asked you to watch it, it was because of everyone here, your opinion on this topic I valued above most, I feel like this topic is right up your alley. Thank you for telling me why I was wondering!
