A psychological decision to compound every new adverse event as another excuse to grow one's own sense of aggrieved victimhood. It can be seen in individuals, groups or entire countries. Grievance whirlpool sufferers have a manifest lack of resilience, "build a bridge and get over it" does not compute. They are so fragile they will distort any: exhortation to effort, admonishment to compliance, correction of error, criticism of ideas, limitation of privileges and application of just punishment as an equally invalid personal and cumulative attack.
