All of the factors in a social system that that perpetuate, enable, and incentivize the adoption of identities based in victimhood.
"Why are people listing their ailments in their Twitter bios?"
"Oh, it's a great way to rack up intersectional points and climb up a few tiers in the victim hierarchy."
"Why would they want to do that?"
"Because with victimhood comes a whole bunch of perks. If you are a victim, you always have an excuse to fail. You always have a hypothetical oppressor to blame. You are given license to censure anyone who disagrees with you. You receive an abundance of pity. And best of all, you get to envision yourself as the noble underdog struggling in the next big civil rights movement!"
"That sounds pathological."
"That's because it is... and it is all a product of systemic victimhood."

it is a basketball playing style where a reigning MVP chokes hard in the playoffs and especially in a championship match. Named after 2015–16 NBA unanimous MVP Stephen Curry, widely known as the biggest choker in Finals History where he and his team (Warriors) chokes hard in the Finals despite having a 3–1 lead
Peter choked last night. He is using Curry System

System D is a shorthand term that refers back to the French word débrouillard, (one who is) skilled or resourceful at handling any difficulty. System D refers to a manner of responding to challenges that requires one to have the ability to think fast, to adapt, and to improvise when getting the job done.
The term gained popularity after appearing in the 2006 publication of Anthony Bourdain's The Nasty Bits. Bourdain's sous-chef likens the use of System D to being a modern-day MacGyver ... getting the job done with a mix of whatever resources are available and a great deal of personal innovation.
In The Nasty Bits, Bourdain references first coming upon the term while reading Nicolas Freeling's memoir, The Kitchen, written about Freeling's years as a Grand Hotel cook in France.

Janice is the queen of System D ... she ran out of hair pins and used paper clips as barrettes when styling Audrina's hair for her prom.
The contestants on The Amazing Race were totally System D-ing it when they ran out of money and had to barter to pay their cab driver.

Originally used by computers to store information (using only 0's and 1's) (see above), this two digit system has been co-opted (often, but not exclusively, by men) and used as a tool to assess others' appearance (often, but not exclusively females').
The "binary" procedure of assigning a numeric value to someone's appearance assumes that one thing, and one thing alone matters: whether or not the assessor would have sexual intercourse with the person being assessed. Thus, "1" implies that the ranker would, given the opportunity, indeed have sex with the person in question while "0" implies that he/she would not.
Many practitioners of this system claim that it is the most honest measurement of someone's attractiveness, because its measurements are completely straightforward--there is no in-between. Fractions are implicitly forbidden in the binary system, and even hesitant tones and vocal slants are frowned upon during the ranking process, as they undermine the absolute nature of the system.
One might call into question the veracity of the system based on the differing moral standards and social norms of its varied practitioners, but that is, I believe, beyond the scope of this definition.
example of two acquaintances discussing a friend's new girlfriend using the binary system:
Jim: "Yuck, Biff's new girlfriend is definitely a 0"
Skip: "Well then Jim, I guess it's good that Biff, not you, is dating her"

An evil pervasive phenomenon in which "politicians" weaponize fake altruism to multiply dependents and erode the nuclear family by forcible transfer of resources from beings engaged in monogamous responsible k-selected behavior to beings that practice promiscuous, irresponsible r-selected behavior.
The most telling sign that America is doomed is the unending transfer of energy and resources from intact nuclear families to promiscuous fickle single mothers of (often) multiple children from different equally degenerate absent fathers; the systemic dysgenics of social welfare is proliferating and incentivizing r-selected behavior in an ecosystem already in peril.

A video game so good, people will buy the games console just to play it. System Movers are almost always exlusive to one console.
Nintendo's own games are often system movers
