All of the factors in a social system that that perpetuate, enable, and incentivize the adoption of identities based in victimhood.
"Why are people listing their ailments in their Twitter bios?"
"Oh, it's a great way to rack up intersectional points and climb up a few tiers in the victim hierarchy."
"Why would they want to do that?"
"Because with victimhood comes a whole bunch of perks. If you are a victim, you always have an excuse to fail. You always have a hypothetical oppressor to blame. You are given license to censure anyone who disagrees with you. You receive an abundance of pity. And best of all, you get to envision yourself as the noble underdog struggling in the next big civil rights movement!"
"That sounds pathological."
"That's because it is... and it is all a product of systemic victimhood."

A turd that is all big and knobby at one end but gradually tapers off at the other, resembling the body of a beluga whale.
There once was a man from Chattanooga,
Who dropped a fat brown beluga,
And when he was done,
He screamed just for fun,
"I once blew a guy in Kaluga!"
