Popular Victimhood

 Victimhood is loved by the masses. Every now and then, victims come in people's thinking through a sinister idea of minting money and they oblige. People love this to such a degree that they lavish a lot of attention. Nonetheless, the effect is so shallow in terms of praises over time.
