Certified Victimizer

Cite a handful of crimes. Take them out of context. Overstate and embellish. Voila! You've created your black legend.

Propagate your black legend as historical truth. Certify your victimizers.

No certified victimizer can ever be a victim. This is by definition. Everybody else is the victimizer's victim. Soon enough, the defamation directed at the victimizer takes the form of persecution. Call it evening the score. Better yet: self-defense! 

Yes, the gulags are still a long way off. Don't let that lull you into a false sense of security. When civilizations fall, they fall fast and hard.
