> Telling someone they are a victim and there is nothing they can possibly do to better their situation is not a helpful or productive action.
Who is telling people that they are victims? Who thinks that being a victim means that it's 100% outside of that person's control?
These are the straw-men that so many dumb comments here are based on. There are real victims in the world and most of the time they're just trying to tell their stories, only to get constant derision from idiots in cesspools like Hacker News.
