When someone disagree's with your point of view, you are thus a victim?

I think I see the problem here.

"Disagree with a point of view" and "don't want to be beaten up" (an example) are not in the same ballpark.

People are undoubtedly victims if they get beaten up or have to live under daily threat of it. (Again, example).

That is relevant to the KKK a few comments up. It's not that long ago the KKK wouldn't stop at beating someone up, when they could get away with torture and murder and be let off by juries who approved - in some states.

Replace "beaten up" with any other kind of serious harm to get the point. There are plenty of examples today, whether you care to recognise them or not.

>disagree

Trans people are having their civil rights stripped away, and some are being murdered.
