(4,395 posts)13. It's easier to blame other people than look at yourself.
Why can't you get laid? There must be something wrong with women. It's not that you're self-involved and a bit lazy and don't smell great.
Why can't you get a good job? Someone else must be stealing it from you. It's not that you fucked around in high school or aren't that bright academically or are inflexible about where you live or are insubordinate to your bosses or lack customer service skills.
Why can't you get good health care? The liberals keep trying to socialise it. Not you can't be bothered to learn how it all works so you can vote for someone whose position actually reflects your interest.
And on and on.
Combine poor critical thinking skills with a lack of introspection and you get enraged entitlement.
