> Who is telling people that they are victims?
just to name two examples: many feminists are telling women that they are oppressed (=victimized) by "the patriarchy" and a lot of people are claiming that black people are still systemically oppressed (=victimized) in the USA.
I'm not claiming that those examples are true or false, I want to show that this is not a straw man.
> There are real victims in the world
indeed there are but this article (and the comments) are not about them.
