It's not just conservatives, I also see many libs believe in this shit. In addition, they really believe in the "Just World Hypothesis" (i.e. that the good will eventually be rewarded and that the evil will eventually be punished). I just can't bring myself to believe that the evil will "get what they deserve," at least in this world, after everything I've seen. I don't know, how do others here deal with the brainworms of personal responsibility and the just world hypothesis?
Personal responsibility isn't inherently wrong. The idea that someone should do something as an individual is a way to maintain safety and decent social relations. So sometimes it's possible to ignore it or hope it's not brain worms.
Most of the time, though, it is toxic brain worm shit from liberalism, the protestant work ethic, and reactionary (etc) reasoning given down to us from the ruling class and self-replicating social values. Things that should not be personal responsibility are made so in order to deflect blame from systemic problems and systemic causes, particularly those created by the owner class.
Environmental responsibilities are a good example. Taking fewer flights is good for the environment and thinking that we should all do that is also fine. But bullshit thinking that it's enough or even primary is implicit in extreme liberal nagging over such things. You can't reform or replace the transportation network and electricity production as an individual, but that's what is necessary to solve the problem.
You can see this deflection in real time whenever a politician advocates for systemic reforms. There's always a desperate search for some personal hypocrisy like how many flights they take or how big their house is. This acts to distract you from the scale and nature of the problem, refocusing it on... individual responsibility. And it's what sticks in the minds of the undecided.
So in terms of how I deal with it, I accept it as a normal but limited thing that's perverted into harmful propaganda by the liberal media apparatus and that Western socialists are going to have to either pierce through that nagging or put up a show of individual responsibility to get our feet in the door. If you are a pol or leader with the means, you probably need to buy solar panels so that you can defend against and even appropriate their talking points.
Also, we kind of do this already for the things we care about, so we need to reconcile our opinions. For all the talk we do of systemic rather than individual analysis and solutions, we sure do hate individual CEOs and crap on a given leftist if they're a landlord or have an expensive house. We all must kill the liberal inside ourselves. Use this as a reminder for doing so!
