Mr. Dictionary could have made himself more concise by saying that the people are not victims of the government, they are victims of their own doing.
I think that "action" is only part of it. First comes thought, then will, THEN action. The root part of it is how you view yourself. People who choose to think of themselves as a "victim" will always find an opressor be it the police, government, education system, ect. There will always be something ... just fill in the blank.
