Victimism can similarly be defined as a kind of philosophy whereby one chooses to perpetually see one's self as a victim of some sort for the purpose of accruing sympathy and empathy. The ultimate purpose of victimism is simply to attain social power, influence, and status by exploiting the well meaning sympathies and good intentions of the general populace for its social/political support. If one "plays the victim" one can gain power and influence by exploiting the sympathies of the masses.
The newly coined term of "mansplaining" supports an overarching philosophy of victimism employed to great effect by feminists. Mansplaining is a passive/aggressive ploy to silence men by claiming victimization whenever, in the course of ordinary conversation, a man interrupts a woman when she's speaking. The evil act of mansplaining only ever occurs if a man interrupts a woman. It never happens when a man interrupts another man or a woman interrupts another woman. In those cases no victimization has occurred because a man hasn't taken the occasion to "victimize" a woman. Any interruption is a bit rude and confrontational , as we all know; but it's also a pretty standard part of human debating and discussion. However, if a man ever interrupts a woman for any reason ever, a "crime" has taken place. If you ask the woman, she'll explain at great length about her victimization whereas the man will simply shrug his shoulders and wonder what the big deal is.

Get the Victimism mug.When one or group live in a perpetual state of anxiety, worry, anger and hate because they feel they are owed something by someone or something.
A Victimist can range from a welfare-taking bum to a pompous, selfish rich asshole to the spoilt middle-class emo. They often vague in their grievances and don't know how to solve themselves. They are unintelligent, idle, lazy but perceive themselves differently. They are easily swept up by biased media outlets e.g. Fox News and other mainstream bullshit like the "Tea Party Movement". They'll happily complain without knowing the facts and they'll tell lies to benefit themselves. They are more emotive than rational.
They feel hard done by society so they choose to sit on the sidelines and complain about it. They are often "pathetic" in the pure sense of the word. "FML" is popular term used by Victimists.They are the type of people who argue in internet chatrooms (Youtube) with other Victimists.
Victimists are related closely with people who complain about "political correctness". They are the ones who start racist facebook groups complaining "about the immigrants taking their jobs" or "the muslims taking over" or "Black people say N***** so why can't I say it!?"
Furthermore, Victimism is a cousin of Individualism in the sense that the motives behind them are for their own personal gain.

Welfare Bum: I can't work because I won't have enough time to watch TV and eat junk food. I'm stressed out enough as it is ok! I have a sore back and find it too too painful to work! Benefits are too low and need to be raised! The government doesn't care about poor people! Cries
Rich Asshole: OMG The government are taking all my money and giving it to dirty, poor people. I don't want to pay for government services for folks poorer than myself, leave me alone! The government wants to turn us into Socialists! Cries
Middle-Class Emo: Life is so hard. I have my parents in my ear about my exams and the girl I have been talking to on Facebook for ages won't respond to me anymore. On top of that, my parents won't let me go travelling for 9 months! FML. Yeah man fuck society! Society sucks! Everyone is a dick. I have it all figured out. Really Loud Cries

The capital city of South Australia, previously known as Adelaide has been officially designated a progress free zone because of the huge numbers of hysterical conservatives who bend over vomiting with rage and indignation whenever a new idea is presented.
Taking the stance that 'this new idea means that they think my old idea is bad'; the people of SA:SVU take such ideas, suggestions, and pleas for some sort of progress as a personal affront to their character - something which they shouldn't do, firstly because it's not how to have an adult conversation, and secondly because they have no character to speak of.
While many cities have their fair share of whinging, tiresome old shits; Adelaide has, because of decades of 'bright flight'; been left with a much higher percentage of shits than other major Australian cities.
SA:SVU is now a toxic hell hole for anyone with more than half a brain cell. Investors go where the talent is, and they're not going to Adelaide, the renewal project is a joke, and the festivals such as Fringe only serve to advertise what you can get in other cities all year round; but can only get in Adelaide for one month a year.
Those not ranting hysterically are making excuses for Adelaide; that a city with a population of 1.2 million doesn't need more business, entertainment, big name artist performance, good governance, or opportunities for young people to do well in their life.

Me: Hey, this bar has got half as many people in it as last year - how about we do something different to bring more punters in?
Special Victim: Well, I don't know why you've made that suggestion; you obviously hate the place. I go there, I suppose you hate me too. Gees, why can't you just accept the place for what it is ant stop being so negative?
Me: I see we're playing South Australia: Special Victims Unit again.

The Catholic Church's victimidation of media, legal and government organisations presenting them as downtrodden and repressed whilst all the time strengthening their dominant grip on society by stealth.
Celtic F.C are strong purporters of victimidation by pushing for and succeeding in the sacking or resignation of match officials after decisions have gone against them. They claim that there is a religious conspiracy against them when in fact the officials were only upholding the laws of the game.

Get the Republican victims mug.There are several kinds of walmart victims:
1.) A small town business that is devastated when walmart comes to town. When walmart comes to town, the small family-owned stores are often driven out of business.
2.) Workers that lose their jobs when walmart's pro-china policies force companies to move factories to China to keep costs down. The money grubbing scum now running walmart have a "low prices at any cost" policy that costs America 1000s of jobs every year.
Sam Walton (walmart founder) would be horrified by this pro-china bullshit! Walton used to brag about his pro-America business policies and the jobs they created! My how times have changed!
3.) People who manage to keep their jobs are often forced to accept lower wages with the threat of their company moving to China.
4.) Taxpayers everywhere that have to pay more in state taxes to cover the taxes walmart avoids (see walmart tax)
5.) CD, DVD and even books that are censored for sale at walmart (see walmartized)
