I've seen many of these people, nearly all women, and it's amazing to me that they can electronically panhandle and make multiple times what a gainfully employed person can make. They don't even do anything for the money other than continually tweet out how they're victimized.
Not just social capital, but literal financial capital too. There's a growing number of people who are leveraging their 'victim status' in Patreon backers and donations, or trying to move from being the centre of a controversy to a public speaking role.
