There's a war on right now, and it's increasingly vicious. Competitive victimhood is how you spot it - a relishing of both a sense of being aggrieved, and rejoicing in public humiliation and punishment of the perceived oppressor.

I stay well away from it too. In fact I fear simply writing this comment.

On Twitter, I've taken to unfollowing people who repeatedly retweet threads that have turned into piling-on contests built on a shaky foundation - the uncritical joining of a mob to throw stones at the perceived oppressor is especially worrying when a closer examination shows nuances that don't justify mob justice even in an emotional sense.
