Definition: Crying is a false claim with no power

Crying is a special category of false claim... it is a false claim made when the status quo is contrary to the claim (when you have no power). So for example it would be like a deposed political leader making statements which rely on their previous power... like issuing demands. It would not be a contradiction for them to be ignored but if they complain about being ignored they are crying.

It is a false claim made from a position of weakness.
