It's not simply a large degree, it is the core of leftism.
The principal divide between the right and left is the acceptance vs. rejection of an internal locus of control. The left rejects an internal locus of control, and projects it externally.
Under an internal locus of control, I have real, meaningful power in the now to act on things that affect me. I'm not a victim of other people, even if they were mean to me. I'm not a victim of systems, even if they're unfair. I'm not a victim of my past decisions, even if they were stupid. I have power in the now and I can use it to change the present the way I want and build a future I desire.
Under an external locus of control, I have no such power. I am a victim of other people and external events. I am a victim of people who were mean to me, I'm a victim of systems that are unfair, I'm a victim of my past decisions, which in fact were not truly my decisions, since they were influenced by unfair systems and mean people. Since I abdicate my power in the present moment, the only way I can improve anything is by blaming and controlling others.
This second point of view is mentally unfit. It's not simply a competing view, it is dysfunctional. The elites encourage this victim mindset because the victim can be persuaded to support elites which promise to bring relief from the only place that's perceived possible, that is by changing the external environment.
The elites then use this power to consolidate control and to enrich themselves.
It's funny because like all Leftist ideas, it's literally self contradicting.
Either we have no control over our fate.
Or we are being oppressed by others.
But it can't be both... Otherwise the "oppressors" are just passive victims of fate as well & couldn't change their destiny of oppressing even if they wanted to.
Here's the head of the nail. You hit it. In university today they are teaching kids that an internal locus of control is white privilege and they make excuses (the same ones you listed) as to why minorities can't have an internal locus of control. An absolute demonstrative and anti-human thing to teach children.
They also do it because their narcissists and crave constant attention and validation. That's the reason for all the virtue signaling, they just want the illusion of being virtuous so they can reap all the kudos without having to deal with the hard work and responsibility.
just gonna take a wild guess and say she's got a ton of participation trophies.
Wait, do they have ghost coders? Maybe I could finally finish that research project...
I know I've seen ads for ghost writers.
I'm sure you can just be a loud-mouth lazy-assed ghost skank if you want
Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice.
Betelgeuse.
One more letter e in there...
Betelegeuse?
Now you are just making my ass laugh harder!
As long as it's repeated thrice, yeah? :-D

I guess this is the same logic that allows billionaires to claim oppression & victim-status.

Plus a big dose of victimhood.
They play the victim because it's easier and it avoids responsibility. Laziness is a substrate that victimology thrives on.
They also do it because their narcissists and crave constant attention and validation. That's the reason for all the virtue signaling, they just want the illusion of being virtuous so they can reap all the kudos without having to deal with the hard work and responsibility.
Actually ghost police sounds awesome....
I can’t ghost breathe
Thats already an okay movie.
You'd never hear the end of the Ghostbusters jokes though. Not worth it.
The reviews for R.I.P.D. were pretty bad
There are a lot worse things that could happen after you die
Why wouldn't it just be called the ghost office then?
I mean... she's not wrong though. That would indeed suck.
They fake it for attention. Take away the reward for being this way and they'd all stop overnight.
Does the Ghost Office Postal Union endorse Joe Biden like the real one did here on Earth?
They'll control the ballots, no conflict of interest there.
Is there a reason I shouldn't just assume they're trying to be funny?
Sometimes people on this site are so bitter. Becoming the people they hate.
Correct
Most of it is just not wanting to work
Lot's of moochers over there on the left.
