Locus of external control. Is easier to fall back on the mentality that all your woes are caused by oppresors while the success of other people is a plot of the system to priviledge them while keeping you down. The extenal locus cope fills you with righteous indignation, you and your tribe of likeminded losers are a victim of circunstances fighting a revolutionary battle, the truth is harder to accept, that you just suck balls and you may have been extremely priviledge yourself but squandered it all for dumb shit like farming karma on reddit. The latter involves emotional pain , guilt and a real struggle to retake your agency in life, thats boring, is human nature to choose the path of least resistence specially when there are a million subreddits lovebombing validation for that mindset.Slightly off topic, but what the fuck is with people (especially perpetually online people) always claiming there is no such thing as free will. Easy answer is excuses for why they never did anything with their life. Its just this weird pervasive attitude I keep seeing. Whenever Jamal age 16 is in the news there is always a faggle of redditors falling over each other to post "human brain isn't fully developed until 25, so Jamal had no idea that raping and killing the elderly woman was a bad thing".
Then on the flip side once the person is 25, its "well you are set in your ways by this point. Can't do anything to change it. They didn't learn at a young age that breaking and entering with intent to steal and then setting the house on the fire was a bad thing".
Rate me autistic or MATI for this off topic.
