It&#x27;s part of victimhood where it&#x27;s also, uniquely, a valid accusation.  For instance, the idea of the black-lives-matter movement is that all black lives suffer (and by extension, all lives), not just those that are individually victimized by the police&#x2F;state in explicit narrative ways.<p>It&#x27;s the [black] families they have and the [black] communities they live in and the [black] friends that they have who also suffer ... there&#x27;s a community net that gets pulled whenever a member has a tragic event --- in that sense the community suffers as a whole - regardless of their underlying diversities --- it&#x27;s like tugging at a fabric ... the parts that are nearest go the furthest, but the entirety of the fabric reacts - not always in perceptible ways.<p>I as a relatively wealthy person, for instance, am affected by homelessness because those people are potential teachers to my children, coworkers, mentors, or customers for my business ... their plight is also my own.  Their immense suffering inescapably trips the community as a whole.<p>Also in that way, an assault on judaism is an assault on israel, an assault on hinduism is an assault on india, and so on ... you can&#x27;t isolate the victim in a systemic narrative - there&#x27;s an integral effect.
