Plenty of groups want to make themselves appear persecuted. It helps with group cohesion and sense or purpose, while helping focus efforts towards a common enemy.
It can absolutely be the best move in certain circumstances.

Isn't that depressing though? The desire to feel persecuted is stronger than the desire to just get on with their lives and celebrate what they have.
