"Who had it worse" syndrome.
Crutch envy can apply to an individual who thinks they had it worse than others or a group of individuals that think they had it worse than others.
Individuals who identify with a historically oppressed, disenfranchised, and/or victimized ethnic/national/religious/generational identity and compare it to another ethnic/national/religious/generational identity, with the intent of trumping the others victimization.
An individual who feels the need to identify with a group that was victimized in history, then views the atrocities as a form of rivalry against other victimized groups.
Morally obnoxious comparisons of evil (African American slavery versus the Jewish Holocaust).
"You think you had it bad, when I was a kid I had to walk 5 miles in the snow every day", in which the other retorts "Oh yeah, well I had to walk 6 miles in the snow every day, without shoes" is individual crutch envy.
"Everyone else is a liar, everyone who claims that their campaign was "the hardest of the entire war." All those ignorant peacocks who beat their chests and brag about "mountain warfare" or "jungle warfare" or "urban warfare." Cities, oh how they love to brag about cities! "Nothing more terrifying than fighting in a city!" Oh really? Try underneath one." Emil Renard, World War Z is group crutch envy.

Envy of your unborn descendants who will live in the future and have access to awesome future technology.
Person 1: Someday they'll invent chips you can have in your head that can access the internet.
Person 2: Oh man I want one.
Person 1: It won't be for a hundred years though.
Person 2: Aww, man! So those lousy future people will get to do it but not me? Lame!
Person 1: You have a case of grandchildren envy!

What a woman suffers upon seeing another woman's nipple erection if she has not completed her post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

When a middle class white activist gets bored and starts to feel left out and unimportant because they and their family have not been discriminated against
Person 1:"Why was Steven talking about how he knew what being robbed of cultural heritage felt like at that anti-racism and oppression rally, I though his background was British"
Person 2: "He just found out he's an eighth Armenian and they were invaded by Turkey almost 100 years ago"
Person 1: "Sounds like he's suffering from oppression envy"

Fans of other teams hate the Yankees because they are so successful and they wish their team was more like the Yankees.
Brian is a mets fan and they haven't won a championship since 1986 meanwhile the Yankees keep piling up the Trophies. He hates it. He's got Yankee Envy big time.

To be envious of another's Toyota Prius; to long for high MPG when the price of gas gets higher and higher; to want a Prius; the pain you feel when you see a Prius, don't know the owner but are jealous of them.
My truck gets 15 mpg, while Tommy's Prius gets 50 mpg... Man, I have total prius envy.
