Hym "Step 4: DEFLECT TO KIDS. This single men crisis can only be solved by ignoring the single men crisis entirely and breeding new boys who will hypothetically be both not single and not in crisis! Shit! I had that one ready in the abstract but then I forgot. It was supposed to be #3 but then I forgot and then I replaced it with the new step 3 and THIS ONE was integral. God damnit! I hate having to retcon things back in like this. Deflect to kids. We need to breed more fat-cocks. That's the solution."

It doesn't fucking matter if other people have or have had a worse life you fucking retard. That doesn't mean anything. That isn't an actual argument. Other people's lives being shit does not meant that I have to accept a mundane or sub par existence. I certainly don't have to accept a better life being stolen away from me by greedy inferior trash like you.
Hym "There goes the deflecting to peripheral elements! You see it? He also hit us with the 'unless you have kids' your life isn't more important than mine. Kill yourself. I hope your son gets fucked and hanged you piece of shit."

When the mayor of a town calls the media chickens for releasing footage of the same towns finest police officers being chickens and allowing kids to die.

An individual who attributes their personal challenges and frustrations to society, the average person, or systemic flaws, rather than engaging in self-reflection or taking responsibility. They vocalize their grievances with moral certainty yet remain trapped in a cycle of denial and inertia, resisting meaningful personal growth.
Example:
“Despite his constant critiques of society and ‘the common man,’ he refuses to examine his own faults — a quintessential deflective idealist.”
