Agreed on scapegoating. Hence their hatred of Jews, African-Americans and the return to fascist-like scapegoating of minorities to make themselves feel better.
Agreed also they don't take responsibility for their own lives.
IMO, they can't. Most are under educated, low IQ and/or mentally ill. Taking responsibility for one's own life is the sign of a healthy, thriving human being. They are the opposite.
One example is the subject of this thread: the propensity for weak personalities to thread ban an entire swath of the forum to avoid someone proving them wrong. All who do it are bigots who fit the profile of weak and stupid.
