I agree that focusing on what we can control is empowering, and internal agency matters hugely. But it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. External forces aren’t just “facts” - they shape which options are even available. Real empowerment comes from building resilience and working to change the systems that limit it. Focusing on only one side risks missing the full picture.
“powerless victim rather than a capable agent” is about an educated victim, a resourceful one, “victimhood” is an opressors pov. Why some thrive? Mostly is about external tools. Revictimization sometimes is rooted in asking for the perfect victim, the one that doesn’t fight to not being one.

This is brilliant. Thank you.
