The atmosphere of fear goes back to what I call (though Robert O. Paxton characterized in different words) the "cult of victimhood" which is the energizing source of power in the base of fascist political movements.
Some such buffoon sniveled about my lack of "compassion" on FB not long ago for talking about a parasitic blob of protoplasm. I'm almost surprised I didn't get any Jail Time after going off on the idiot.
Someone may claim victimhood over some imagined slight, but that doesn't ipso facto make them worthy of compassion or sympathy. Honestly, those worthy of those things often don't claim victimhood.
