Train of thought most often associated with Social Justice Warriors. Opposite on the political spectrum from the Regressive Right.
Such examples include sexism against men by virtue of their gender, racism against white people by virtue of their skin color, granting power to minority candidates by virtue of their minority status, placing minority citizenship above majority citizenship as opposed to wanted them to be equal, Islamic apologetics, using privilege as a detriment of worth regardless of context, etc.

Some on the Regressive Left believe that black people are entitled to reparations from white people, regardless of personal history for either, because one person's ancestors wronged another person's ancestors.

1) Why did i have to get THAT drunk??
2) I should have said yes when he asked me back to his room.
3) Why did i get involved with him?!
I've used examples which relate to my life and which i've had regrets about. Regrets aren't always about relationships though.

Get the regret mug.a fallacy in which the argument proposes an explanation, but the mechanism proposed stands just as much in need of explanation as the original fact to be explained — and indeed it stands in need of the same kind of explanation. so it is tempting to apply the explanation to itself.
given the wordcosmological argument/word, the universe must have a beginning. the notion that the universe's origin came about by the random forming of particles in space, there must have been something to first put those particles there. whatever that something is, it must exist outside of time and always exist, lest you get into a series of arguments going further and further back until you have infinite regress.
example: the being 'linda' created all the particles that formed the earth, but who created linda? the being 'bill' created linda, but who created bill? etc. the argument goes on forever until there is a beginning, which was initially required according to the wordcosmological argument/word.
