rationalizing anything, making excuses and avoiding responsibility for anything. it's part of the authoritarian psychology - with their irrational need for certainty (thanks to sex on the wrong brain) they're either afraid or needing to accept the artificial certainty that they or authoritarian leaders create with order, control, destruction, absolutism, binary value structures, etc. authoritarian belief systems help them rationalize the denial of reality needed to create certainty where there is none. imo
