Here's some fun new research looking at "the consequences and predictors of emitting signals of victimhood and virtue," published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The paper—from University of British Columbia researchers Ekin Ok, Yi Qian, Brendan Strejcek, and Karl Aquino—details multiple studies the authors conducted on the subject.
Their conclusion? Psychopathic, manipulative, and narcissistic people are more frequent signalers of "virtuous victimhood."
The so-called "dark triad" personality traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—lead to characteristics like "self-promotion, emotional callousness, duplicity, and tendency to take advantage of others," the paper explains.

“self-promotion, emotional callousness, duplicity, and tendency to take advantage of others,”
That describes almost all of the executives I worked for.
Some of the greatest evils in history were perpetrated by self-appointed victims, looking for a villain to blame, and using their victimhood to justify whatever they do to them.
It’s pretty well known that the farther you go up a corporate ladder or a political organization, the more psychopathic types you meet.
All positions of power attract exactly those persons that can do the most harm. No one who desires power should be trusted with it.
Very interesting information.
Excellent article.
Imagine what happens if you give a microphone and a camera to a bunch of sociopaths, and let them broadcast on television 24/7?

Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible? - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not a huge surprise, I have to say.

And many of them congregate in the H.R. Department. They’re sadists. (Are sadists psychopaths, or are they two different things?)
And my former long-term girlfriend...
OMG...that’s my ex.
