 it reminds me of a super-lib coworker, he's constantly complaining about all these problems he's dealing with, and every single one of them is his own fault for making stupid choices.  at some level, deep down, he knows his choices are bad, and he's doing it to himself, but the shitlib ideology has mountains of copes that he can use to convince himself that it's actually 'the system', or 'bigots', or 'Christians', or whatever that if it weren't for that, his bad choices would've been ok and none of this would be happening to him.

these people are literally insane, and good people continue to allow them to make decisions for the rest of us and then wonder why everything is so fucked up.
