Counterpoint: Playing the victim is THE classic tactic used to rationalize and excuse the behavior of many, if not most, Americans.

(If you found this point incorrect, dumb, or worthless, consider that is how many people feel about the point I am replying to.)

The only difference is that if I’m wrong, some people got free stuff but if you’re wrong, people are languishing in despair with little to no lifeline. Are you willing to bet other peoples lives on the idea that your experience is truth? It’s not something I am willing to do; I value human life too much.
