We really could use a grievance scorecard

Which victim group ranks highest in leftist land?

In the good old days, when men were men, it was easy to tell the political ball players without a scorecard, at least from the socialist and communist point of view, thanks to economic Marxism. You would always distinguish the good guys from the bad guys.

Nowadays, under cultural Marxism, we are at sea, without a rudder, and this applies, amazingly, to all of us, snowflake wokists most certainly included. Oh, don't get me wrong: there are still some broad categories that are crystal-clear. Blacks are to be preferred to whites. (We even capitalize the former, not the latter, if we're politically corerect.) Affirmative action for the former? You betcha. Women, to be sure, take precedence over men. LGBTQIA+ takes pride of place over all others.

Still, there are anomalies. What about black men versus white women? It would appear that there is a real contest going on here. Perhaps the former outrank the latter in that they can launch the charge of "Karen," and the latter have no similar verbal missile to utilize. Recently, what with Kanye West and Kyrie Irving, Jewish sensibilities have taken precedence over at least the ones of these black people. But wait a sec! Jews are white, surely an inferior breed in the cultural Marxist sweepstakes. Surely, the hierarchy should have been the other way around.

Blacks may not outrank the LGBTQIA+ community, but, surely, they have suffered more than anyone else. How, then, can Jewish sensibilities be placed higher than theirs? No, that makes no sense, either. African-Americans were enslaved (recently, you'd expect, to hear the progressives wax eloquent about the present effects of this evil institution), and say what you will about the suffering of gays, lesbians, etc.,

“Weaponized victimhood works since most people assume others tell the truth about their victimization. This is, of course, completely untrue.”

The most victimized, persecuted, lied-about, unfairly maligned minority I have seen in quite a while is “gingers who are second born to the Crown Prince”. That poor bloke needs his therapist on speed dial.

Howard Stern had the KKK guy do this in game-show fashion, albeit om his case it was who he disliked the most rather than highest grievance
