These "injustice collectors" are also the first ones to shout "I'm offended!" by anything that tends to counteract their arguments.

A radio announcer in NC named Robert Raiford calls us the "United States of the Offended". Being offended is a cheap way of negating a legitimate argument. Racism is a common theme that uses the "I'm offended" chant to blunt serious discussion.

People that whine in this way don't want to discuss, they don't want to engage in dialogue or any other give-and-take that might whittle away at their pet peeve or perceived slight, however minimal.

It takes a lot of energy to save up all the perceived, imaginary or real hurts and keep them alive. A lot of energy.
So folks who do this do it with a purpose and end in mind. Whether externally violent or self-destructive only, it serves only their mind's purpose. People like this are very scary. With the kind of investments they make in the anger needed to keep the hate alive, they're not going to simply give up and walk away without a balancing the books.
