baldwinize

1. To avoid taking personal responsibility by claiming that your errors were inevitable.

2. To flip the script on others, recasting yourself in the heroic role against the system which caused you to commit harm.

Baldwinizing does not require a legitimate change of opinion (like Morton Downey Jr. on smoking) or even a pretense of changing one's opinion (see Elridge Cleaver).

Matthew Baldwin

Matthew Baldwin, commonly known as "The Pack Rat," is a fictional character often used as a humorous archetype. He is portrayed as an eccentric and comically exaggerated individual who works at McDonald's. His nickname, "The Pack Rat," symbolizes his tendency to collect and hoard various items, both useful and useless, creating a cluttered and chaotic environment around him.

One of the absurd traits attributed to this character is the exaggerated notion that he bathes and drinks out of the grease trap at McDonald's, adding an element of exaggerated absurdity to his persona. In reality, this description is a humorous exaggeration and not representative of any real person.

"The Pack Rat" character serves as a whimsical and humorous example of an individual with peculiar habits and behaviors, often used in storytelling or comedy to generate laughter and entertainment.
