The difference is in the goal.

Martyr Complex's goal is the suffering itself.

The TIV, as described, the goal is support. In a civilized society, people will tend to support the "victim".

They don't seek situations that cause them suffering like someone with a martyr complex would, they instead rewrite their own experiences to become a victim.

In fact, I find that these types of people actively avoid suffering and have a lot of money woes because they overspend on comforts.

There are many explanations that all add together, but in my opinion, the biggest explanation is the locus of control.

(The degree to which people believe that they, as opposed to external forces, have control over the outcome of events in their lives.)

In general, Democrats believe in an external locus of control and Republicans believe in an internal locus of control. It is an extremely strong predictor.

Someone with an external locus of control are more likely to do evil because they do not believe they are at fault for their own actions. They are a product of their environment, the system, their oppressors, their upbringing, etc. There's no difference in doing good or doing evil because their own efforts don't matter. It's very easy to see how one can commit evil with such a mindset.

Even if this has some efficacy, the coronavirus has already become a seasonal cold.

Depends on the state. I believe most states (Florida actually precounted!) do them before or roughly the same time. Virginia, which looks good now, does early votes after. Still hoping we can landslide with VA, however.

Most of those emergency hospitals (especially those built elsewhere) went to waste and barely saw anyone. Huge waste of money. They were built not as a response to accommodate extra patients; they were built on a faulty prediction using garbage models that predicted there would be extra patients.

NYC was an outlier because they sent infected people into nursing homes, which was literally the worst possible decision. Even then, their hospitals weren't overflowing in any meaningful way. One especially poorly run hospital temporarily lacked capacity but was able to move them to nearby hospitals with capacity once they figured out the problem.

People who act like this regarding drug-addicted family/friends go through a lot of shit before reaching that state of mind.

The brother she loved died a long time ago.

If they spent more money and involved more people, they increase the risk of being directly connected to it. With this, we can basically prove nothing about who was behind this company appearing out of nowhere.

Communism is cured once you are sent into gulag

If only... It's not a guaranteed cure. Maybe 50%. A lot of commies sent to gulags thought they were the "only mistake" and their comrades would soon sort this error out. Some eurocucks donated to refugees after their family member was killed.

2nd amendment red pills are more effective though. While the other two are ideological, anti-gun is much more fear-based. If something uproots or replaces that fear, they support guns. Ideologically, however, some liberals just change their stance to supporting gun ownership for themselves, but not for others.

He said pizzagate was a hoax, then followed that up by saying celebrities molest children (pedogate).

Pizzagate got swarmed and "discredited" by the media, but pedogate was not because they could not deny Epstein.

Yes. Most of the idiot Californians are ones that left because the tech companies are moving.

It's the same thing as media "mistakes".

They all go the same way.

It's not necessarily a conspiracy. For those it is not, they are so fully possessed by the leftist ideology that all their errors are born out of a fundamentally broken ability to determine truth.

It is like moose or sheep.

Chinese does not have plural versions of nouns, the "pluralness(?)" of a word is determined through context.

He is BaiZuo. (他是白左) They are BaiZuo. (他们是白左).

An ideal free market needs price transparency. If prices are allowed to be hidden, it incentives the seller to screw the buyer because it doesn't matter who they choose; the buyer has no information to act on.
