An individual caught in a cycle of thinking like a victim can be a danger to themselves or even others. But what about when those playing the victim card aren't just individuals, but whole societies that become stuck blaming others for problems?

On Thursday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Milke joined the show to discuss the cult of victimhood and his latest publication.

It goes around, and everybody's ancestors beat up on everybody else's ancestors, to put not too fine a point on it, if you go back far enough in human history,” Mark told Ezra.
“The question people have to ask themselves is, again: beyond tight cause and effect links that are provable and recent, what kind of a country do you want going forward?” he asked.
“It's not a good idea to have one based on historic grievances. I mean, that's why so many of our ancestors left Europe. They were tired of the fighting.”
