Why be right?

[Bennett]

I understand it fine. He's saying that people can't be victims of the government because it is their own fault that they are in that position because they chose to do nothing.
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.

All of this is beside the point. Not everyone has the same self-sufficient attitude as Ror, and these people who complain and do nothing to better their situations are precisely the types who would view themselves as victims. All of this goes into some area of stipulating about the motivations of others, a.k.a. 'thought police,' that Ror does find worthy of conversation. Which is fine by me, unfortunately, the thread is completely off track now.
