Institutional Betrayal Grievance

Description

The person believes government, companies, universities, courts, or regulators have failed to stop AI harm.

Rationale

Institutional betrayal grievance — the belief that those who should have prevented harm failed or refused to — is associated with escalating anger, target expansion, and willingness to act outside legal means. When directed at AI governance failures, it may lead to fixation on regulators, legislators, or institutional actors as perceived enablers of harm.
