Attack Meritocracy, Reward Mediocrity
Two categories of people who tend to be picked on are people who underperform the group and those who outperform the group. People who are bullied can be nice people, but they can also be people who would have been bullies themselves if circumstances had broken their way.
There are plenty of well-performing narcissists in the world, but it appears as though there are even more underperforming ones. But then, with narcissists even being perceived of as average is considered by them to be a form of bullying since it means they won’t be getting the praise and attention they covet.
Wokeism is basically a movement of narcissists, so one of its features is a preoccupation with making these underperforming narcissists into some kind of victim class. What I have been seeing is contests rigged in favor of narcissists from a woke-created victim class. It is clear the contest is unfair in the eyes of the non-woke audience and participants. The chosen “winner” is not the best and/or isn’t even qualified to participate. But their winning achieves a victory for the narcissistic woke movement. It gives the narcissist their narcissistic supply of attention and praise — something they feel they have been unjustly deprived of. It also gives them the credibility of being declared the winner by people with the power and authority to bequeath the recognition — even if it obviously isn’t true. Those same power people can even punish the people who object to the unfairness of the narcissist’s adoration bash and refuse to participate.
Yes, you can’t be allowed to refuse to participate. You certainly aren’t allowed to have a contest where one of their own can’t be declared by them to be the winner. And the reason they can’t be declared the winner is because they simply are not qualified to win. No, all eyes must be on the narcissist — even if they’re scornful eyes. And the narcissist must also be able to revel in the defeated look on the rightful winner’s face as the narcissist gets their revenge for their own mediocrity by stealing the winner’s reward for themselves.
