Really? He's victimized millions of them.

Victim mentality is currently the Democratic platform.


You're confusing them with the Alt Right.

you should probably pay attention to stuff
locus of control

As predicted, results from analyses of variance and trend analyses indicate that for liberals, increases in expectancies of control by powerful others are positively associated with increases in activism, while for conservatives, there is a negative relationship.

"increases in expectancies of control by powerful others are ... associated with increases in activism," this more aptly describes the powerless alt-neo-Nazi movement. With the exception their behavior is not only increased activisim, but incites violence as it spews hatred against minorities and those who support civil rights for all.

Change the static on your dial, sub. You're feeding yourself more noise than you are substance. Note: There is nothing positive about the Alt Right demonstrations of hatred and inciting violence.

You're also woefully off-topic. Again.

Yet another demonstration of why his current avatar depicting white noise is so remarkably appropriate for him. One has to wonder if this indicates a measure of self-awareness on his part.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Omg you have to listen to this Justin Roiland call to Joel Osteen's prayer line:

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

Those poor saps really do need someone to pray for them. I felt sorry for the prayer volunteer they staged this around.

It was funny but in a mocking way.

Nope, my post was a direct rebuttal of your attempted deflection from Dems/Libs relying heavily on the victim card. ...which this study supports.
"Positive" by your paradigm is a subjective characteristic, so yeah not that convincing when you just say it as if you saying it is all that istuff required to make it manifest "as true".

You have to watch Rick and Morty to understand why this is so funny.
