VIDEO BOOK REVIEW: Mark Milke explains the "victim culture"

What follows is not my own review. Ms Prim Blue-Stocking, head librarian of the Fort Mudge Library, has become "woke", and refuses to buy any books which she deems "controversial", i.e. dissenting from the prevailing liberal orthodoxy. So here's the Goodreads summary of The Victim Cult: How the culture of blame hurts everyone and wrecks civilizations, by Mark Milke (Thomas & Black, 2019).

No one disputes that some people are victims... of others, accidents, and life. But we also all know someone who thinks like a victim. The Victim Cult is about such people—who play the victim card—but multiplied by millions, where people and societies become stuck blaming others. 

The Victim Cult looks at the worldwide grievance culture from American college students to some Canadian indigenous leaders and on to Donald Trump. It also details the tragic historical consequences when victim narratives go viral and destroy entire societies and civilizations.

The Victim Cult also chronicles the refusal of some who were victimized to get stuck there, with the rise of Asian Americans over 150 years as a positive example. 

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more! Mark Milke appeared yesterday on The Andrew Lawton Show to discuss the new Canadian edition of his book. In this wide-ranging interview, he and Mr Lawton talk about identity politics, cultural appropriation, and the left's blame game.

 

The Victim Cult is available in both paperback and Kindle [Wozzat? Ed.] formats, on Amazon and other outlets... if not in your local library!
