I like this post, but can’t help but to notice that I expect it to be unhelpful to the people who would most need it. For someone deeply mired in victim mentality, they won’t be convinced by an intellectual argument for why victim mentality is bad, since to them their victimhood feels like just how things are.
On the other hand, I guess it’s unavoidable that the people who would most need to hear a particular advice are incapable of hearing it, and this post can still be helpful to people who might otherwise slightly lean that way. (Personally seeing some people’s victim mentality has given me a strong incentive to never be like that myself, and it has felt helpful, so I expect that this post will also be helpful to some.)
