The Victim Cult with Mark Milke

How does society address wrongs inflicted in the past? Should we even dwell on the past when we don’t have the power to change it? This week on Next Steps Forward, Chris Meek welcomes Mark Milke - a public policy analyst, keynote speaker, author and columnist based in Calgary, Canada - to discuss these questions and more. Mark highlights the current pervasiveness of victimhood and its negative effect on societies, while going into detail about how past societies and individuals have a long history of playing the “victim card” and using victimhood as a catalyst for war. Subsequently Mark will comment on the current state of the situation unfolding in Ukraine and explain why he believes it stems from Russian President Vladamir Putin’s claim of victimhood due to the collapse of the USSR decades ago. Additionally, Mark explains why victimhood can’t be easily fixed and why government intervention isn’t the answer that many individuals in younger generations believe it is. For an inside look into the prevalence of microaggressions and the woke culture in American and Canadian universities, governments and societies, be sure to tune in.
