Muslims Trump All Other Minorities Because of the Victim Value Index [ There definitely is a Liberal Victim Value hierarchy. Muslims Transgenders Gays Illegal aliens Blacks Hispanic US citizens Women There's also an Oppressor hierarchy in order of Evilness. Israeli Jews Other Jews Christians Black conservatives Conservative women Conservative Hispanics & gays Southern white males Other non-liberal white males Asians Muslims trump all other victim groups. They can commit any atrocity and remain victims. Even against other victim groups ....ie hanging gays, throwing gays off buildings, selling women into slavery, gang-raping them ... none of that makes liberals near as mad as an Israeli building a house in Palestine. Transgenders trump gays (maybe that s/b other gays) and women .... note how the Vagina Monologues has become evil for not celebrating women without vaginas. Transgenders and gays trump blacks too .. recall the black celebrities that have gotten into trouble for slurring gays. Illegal aliens trump blacks ... they can take their jobs, kill blacks and there's no problem. But let a Hispanic US citizen kill a black who is beating him and wham, he is a "racist white Hispanic," suspected of being a KKK member. No wonder Obama is so popular with liberals. He's Muslim (let's be honest: everyone considers him either a Muslim in his heart or an honorary Muslim, he's gay (another thing to be honest about ... I mean a liberal news weekly proclaimed him the first gay President), and lastly he's black. A trifecta! On the Evil Oppressor list, Israeli Jews top the list .... they don't have the right to live according to liberals. Even their babies can be slaughtered. Ditto for other Jews .... most liberal Jews haven't digested their status yet. Are in denial about it but if you look at the recent murders of Jews peacefully going about their business, just being Jews, in Europe you can see for liberals even non-Israeli Jews don't have a right to life either. Didja hear Bill Nye, the moron fake science guy, say Jews slaughtered in Europe should have gotten to know their neighbors better if they didn't want to be slaughtered in cold blood? Christians are next in line ... witness the killings in Libya and the banning of Christian student organizations on California campuses and the targeting of Christian small businesses for harassment. Conservative blacks and women are next in evilness. Liberals feel free to make racist and sexist attacks on them. Well, that's my thoughts for now on this. ] February 27, 2015 by Daniel Greenfield James Kirchick has w ritten an extensive piece on the Victimhood Olympics replete with examples and references. He notes that… Trans beats gay and Muslim beats black. As someone who writes frequently on the topic of homosexuality, I have learned the hard way what happens to those who challenge the orthodoxy of transgender activists… This is because in the progressive imagination, the perceived plight of Muslims now trumps the sufferings of all other groups. It is this conceit that goes the furthest in explaining President Obama’s remark to Vox earlier this month that the murder of four Jews at a kosher supermarket in Paris last month was “random,”… But he fails to explain what the basis for this hierarchy is. Why do Muslims trump Jews and why do trannies trump gay men? There is a clear Victim Value Index. It’s not random. It has a definitive basis. That basis is the value of a victim identity to the left. The first thing to understand is the dirty little secret of the Victim Value Index. While loud vocal assertions of suffering are very important, the substance of such suffering is unimportant when moving up the ladder of the Victim Value Index… Actual suffering doesn’t matter. Neither does historical justice. Both of those are easy to make up, and in a dogma-ridden environment no one will look past the politically correct line anyway. The Victim Value Index is calculated based on one overriding factor: Disruptiveness. Those who are most disruptive go to the head of the line. This is the most obvious thing that people have noted about the Social Justice Warrior twitter mobs. They’re angry. They’re disruptive. This is also their virtue. SJW (social justice warrior) code assumes that the angrier you are, the more oppressed you are. (Unless you’re a straight white male who isn’t pretending to be a woman and isn’t angry on behalf of an oppressed minority group.) But your anger is only useful if it serves the left. The angriest groups, the ones with the newest rawest edge make the cut. A propensity for violence helps. Ergo, Muslims win. Progressivism is a revolution in slow motion, and revolutions need revolutionaries. Disruption is more than just grievance, it’s violence. Those who are willing to ruthlessly attack the status quo clearing the ground for revolution are the ones who go to the head of the line and the dais of honor on top. A little murder and mayhem, and progressives will trot out “moderate” versions of the murderers and mayhemists, usually linked to them, and offer to represent them and tamp down the violence in exchange for meeting their demands. September 11 and its aftermath is why Muslims have gone to the top of the Victim Value Index. The left may swear up and down that they are interested in Muslim civil rights, but if the Muslims were Sikhs, they would merit a place somewhere in the back. Before Muslims began prominently blowing things up in the United States, the left barely paid any attention to them. Once they did, they began outweighing every other group in the country because killing 3,000 people is the gold standard of revolutionary mayhem. The Victim Value Index places the most disruptive groups at the front, the somewhat disruptive groups in the middle and the least disruptive groups at the back. The status of groups within the Index can change with their behavior. Muslims used to be shelved in the back with Asians, Indians and Jews. The War on Terror dramatically upgraded their status. The other groups are stuck there because they are relatively successful and aren’t rioting or blowing things up. Latinos are still somewhere in the middle. Native Americans are in the back along with most unclassified minorities. Homosexuals are somewhere near the front, but behind African-Americans. [ Wrong. IMO gays clearly trump blacks. ] Their status tends to drift wildly depending on current events, but they cannot overtake African-Americans or fall behind Latinos. Not unless some drastic events take place that change their status. Women are, and have always been, in the back. The hierarchy can and does change. If Muslim violence were to suddenly disappear, the left’s interest in them in the US would go away. That’s a simple fact. The left values violent groups over non-violent ones. In the social media era, that can be virtual violence, cyberbullying and social media mobs. All that counts as activism and the left is keen to recruit activists for its cause. http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/dgreenfield/muslims-trump-all-other-minorities-because-of-the-victim-value-index/
