The Unwritten Rule of Society: Protect the Weak
As you may or may not have noticed, there is a very disturbing trend regarding the mindset of today's society. We all see it in TV and social media; People excessively protesting, complaining about how oppressed they are, never happy etc. Why is this happening?
In my opinion, there is an unwritten rule in society; We must protect its weakest members. A society that cannot do that is a primitive one. This makes some sense in theory. The homeless are a good example. They are weak so society must step in and support them financially, emotionally and mentally since they do not have the resources to support themselves. But now the weak class has been extended to people who are simply of a different race, gender, sexual orientation, social or family situation. There is a reason for this.
There are finite resources on the planet. The strong will earn their share of the riches. Not much will be left after that. The mediocre will tear each other for the scraps. And the weak, by virtue of being weak, is entitled to a share of those scraps that are left. Thus, we end up with the oppression Olympics; a race to the bottom. A race to see who is the weakest and most oppressed sub group. The winner gets to earn free prizes of additional money, increased social status, more emotional support. How does this hierarchy work?
Since X person is classified as the weakest, everyone else that is stronger, should expend their resources and time to support the weak. A hierarchical list can look something like this (from strongest to weakest).
White single male
Minority single men
White gay men
Minority gay men
Single women
Overweight single women
Lesbian women
Married mother with 1 kid
Single mom with 3 kids
Single disabled transgender mom with 1 kid.....
so on and so forth. Forgot a myriad of other oppressed groups (Didn't know where to put sleeping with bad men and overweight males). Nonetheless, the accuracy of this list is not important. In fact, this is blatant discrimination. The unwritten rule, says though that whoever is at the bottom must be supported by everyone else financially, emotionally, and mentally.
Normal people who are relatively stable and secure in the aforementioned categories are beginning to notice this and have started to fabricate their oppression, knowing that proclaiming victim status will lead to greater riches in the future. These are the two more famous examples, but there are millions more.

This unwritten rule has incentivized people to be depressed, to be oppressed and to be victimized. Society isn't going to lift a finger for people who are strong, happy, secure, and responsible. So where is the benefit?
There is no reason why the weak should lace up their shoes, step out into the real world, and start being productive. It's better for them to claim victim status and receive additional benefits and opportunities that would otherwise not be available.
Personally, I feel this is a very tricky situation that will only get worse. Since this isn't actually a law, then it cannot be revoked or reformed. It not found in any constitution in the US or in the world (feel free to correct me on this). It was created with good intentions, but it has now gone out of control due to the increasing number of sociopaths among us.
Normally at this point, I would be offering a possible solution but there isn't one right now. The situation is that dire. Anyway, feel free to resteem and post your thoughts below.
