The biggest delusion that Chuds have is the idea of "internal locus of control" and "personal responsibility". They think that they have absolute control over their lives, and that when they say something, people have to listen and reaction the way they want (this is really common with Boomers in general tbf, they think that saying something obligates other people to listen and to respond in a specific way, or they throw a tantrum). You see this a lot with bitter online incel types too - they think the world is a video game where you just have to do the Thing, and you get what you want (because of course poor people are just stupid and didn't do the right thing!)
When they're confronted with something like Covid that directly contradicts this idea, they can't handle it.
this is, incidentally, why they suck so hard at being religious and just use it to pretend everything is fine/hate on others. Christianity emphasizes a lot how you are just suppose to throw yourself on God's mercy, because you don't really have any power in the universe anyway. There's the humanist perspective on human's achievements and all, but most chuds aren't that philosophical.

That sounds real Papist... God's grace is demonstrated by your wealth on Earth, and if you die, it means He was calling you home.
I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, you don't get capitalism without protestantism.
