Neue Forschungsergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Ideologie der männlichen Opferrolle bei südkoreanischen Männern eher durch den wahrgenommenen Rückgang des sozioökonomischen Status als durch objektive wirtschaftliche Not bestimmt wird.
Male victimhood ideology driven by perceived status loss, not economic hardship, among Korean men

Replace South Korean men with 99% of Earthlings.
This sounds like exactly what has been going on in the United States since the 2008 recession. Once the housing bubble burst and unemployment jumped, people saw the American Dream move far away…despite them actually still achieving it.
The study says career success did not correlate with feelings of victimhood, but why should it? For example, if the system were biased against women, would we think it’s strange that the 1/10 women CEO’s still feel like the system is biased agains them? It seems like the conlcusion rests on the false assumption that people in a discriminatory system should only be aware of it if they don’t suceed.
victimhood is always driven by self perception. you don’t even need to have actually been the victim of anything to think you are.
Except that you can see the fabulous homes, yachts, cars, and power of the American oligarchs who have funneled all of the profits to themselves, with just the click of a button.
“Ooh, I have a dishwasher!” While Bezos has a yacht for his yacht.
Moon Channels video about this was really illuminating
Same thing happening in the USA but USA is offsetting it a lot better with immigration. SK is not. As much as people fetishize these countries, there are areas where you will be highly desirable as a western man vs an Asian man and there are areas where you will still face a lot of segregation in SK. It’s not the open market westerners make it out to be to go get married. However, both SK and Japan also need more immigration to offset declining birth rates. It’s just inevitable. It’s a bit ironic though how people who care the most about birth rates declining in the USA are helping to contribute to it with anti immigration policies.
So social media propaganda, just like every other nation it seems.
they define victimhood to mean “the belief that men are primary targets of gender discrimination”, rather than any hardship faced. So a comparison of hardships, rather than an analysis of any actual hardship.
The male is ego is a dangerous thing.
