. . . Essentiaslly the idea was to self-portray a disadvantaged
nation or a group of people as the "messiah of nations" that is, a nation
whose suffering significantly contributes to the 'salvation' i.e.
prosperity of other nations. This way, disadvantaged groups could
vicariously overcome their marginalization and see themselves as the 'pivot
of the world.' Kind of biblical eschatology ("the wretched of the earth
inherit the kingdom of heaven") without the other-worldly mumbo-jumbo.
