Victim mentality

1. An easily triggered person, even without the intent of offending them. This is either a person with unresolved mental baggage from previous offenses or a person, who is spoiled/unaware to the point of expectation of special treatment in form of courtesy and spending your time/resources on them in excess of basic decency.
2. Projecting oneself onto one's perceptions and interpretations of already fairly vague (and subject to interpretation) historic generalizations or statistics, especially when one has close to none personal involvement in them, and then using it to justify own specific actions. For example: "women have been sexually objectified" therefore I have a right to slap men's butts as they've been "loaning this right" for millennia.
3. Similar to 2. but a lot more cherry picking and ignorant to one's position/not self-aware. For example when a relatively safe and wealthy first world country person - anywhere from the lower middle class or higher - is complaining about being an oppressed minority, while not really being either a minority nor abused nor as 'systematically and unfairly limited' as they claim to be, in fact, it's likely to be, in some ways, the opposite and they're just an overly egotistical individual.
4. The term could also be used to ridicule - by abusers for the sake of promoting normalization of their former abuses and ignorant normies - their ignorance of witnessing abuse.

victim mentality

Literally the WORST quality to a human being ever. Bar fucking none. We might as well officially declare it the 8th deadly sin.

It's very common among those who are incapable of taking a harmless little joke and take every single thing so goddamn personally; the biggest red flag is how they'd always accuse someone of "bullying" them then get all defensive when they predictably get told otherwise, refusing to admit they're wrong and work on growing a thick skin and learning to control themselves.
A: "They were bullying me yesterday"
B: "Bruh, they were only teasing. Drop your victim mentality and grow up."

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
