grievance-collecting
by Father Hollywood on Dec 05, 2018 14:55:33
A particular variation of the
victim card in which a person gains sympathy or social status by amassing experiences of perceived
sleights or injustices.
Grievance-collecting can be entirely fabricated, true, or a mix of the two. Grievance-collectors can never forgive or see another side of the story, because surrendering any grievance would result in loss of power over other people. Grievance-collecting can be personal, or part of a politically correct group dynamic.
Example:
If you call her, she will be
angry. If
you don't call her, she will be angry. Either way, she gets what she wants, and it will be used against you - because she doesn't actually want to
patch things up. She's just grievance-collecting.
Grievance Hierarchy

Example:
Mickey's a drag queen. He's gay, and he dresses
in drag.
So is Logan, but Mickey is gay, dresses in drag, and is Asian. His point of view is definitely higher on the
grievance hierarchy scale!

Grievance whirlpool
by AndrewMusses on Oct 28, 2021 16:39:20
A psychological decision to compound every new adverse event as another excuse to grow one's own sense of aggrieved victimhood. It can be seen in individuals, groups or entire countries.
Grievance whirlpool sufferers have a manifest lack of resilience, "
build a bridge and get over it"
does not compute.
They are so fragile they will distort any:
exhortation to effort, admonishment to compliance, correction of error, criticism of ideas, limitation of privileges and application of just punishment as an equally invalid personal and cumulative attack.
Example:
1) Johnny continues
to flounder in his
grievance whirlpool blaming yet again this teacher for this suspension because he somehow thinks it will fix a suspension he got in Yr7, over 3 years ago.
2) Those graduates from the University of Life spin further into the abyss of their grievance whirlpool each time their failure to grasp Yr9 Science is exposed by Scientists, the very same people that mocked them in school for licking the chemicals.
3) The “14 grievances”, yes they actually named their own grievance whirlpool when the Chinese government
sheepishly informed Australian journalists how upset they were at being told they couldn't buy politicians anymore. Then they started the Trade Wars of 2020, because Australia somehow was part of the "100 Years of Shame", ask Xi, he'll tell you all about it for 2 hours.
