Excuse-ism

A religion practiced by millions worldwide
The core beliefs of excuse-ism are

1. I am the best and every time evidence shows otherwise it is somehow a mistake

2. I am never at fault for anything bad that happened even if I actually did it.

3. With a lot of help I can be as good as anyone who needs no help at all.

Due to it's Narcissistic nature, Excusism can not be taught by preachers, it is usually passed on from parent to child through heredity or spoiling.

Excuse-ism practicer fails out of his 3rd college his/her response will be "I had a rough childhood, I should be allowed to practice medicine because my ADHD and alcoholism are not my fault, even though they will cause the deaths of many treatable patients"

Excuseism

A logical fallacy, cognitive bias, and rhetorical tactic in which a person seeks any possible excuse to dismiss, minimize, or justify atrocities, abuses, or systemic harms—particularly those associated with liberal democracy, capitalism, Western institutions, or other dominant structures—by pointing to supposedly good features that are irrelevant to the harm being discussed. Excuseism deflects critique by shifting focus to abstract virtues (e.g., “checks and balances,” “freedom of information”) while ignoring concrete suffering. It treats the existence of some beneficial mechanisms as a blanket justification for all failures, effectively arguing that because a system is not the worst possible, its abuses are excusable. The tactic is common in political debates where defending the status quo requires evading accountability.

Example: “When confronted with evidence of Western-backed human rights abuses, he pivoted to praising ‘public access to information’—classic excuseism, using irrelevant virtues to excuse the inexcusable.”
