Thanks for a great post! A lot of what you said was really insightful and you have a great writing style. I agree with you that a refusal to accept responsibility is because so many crave certainty. Without responsibility, you also maintain the delusion you have because you end up defending the thing that oppresses you. The pressures on you in some cases to intentionally be cognitively dissonant can be humongous; you can't leave the religion or you'll be killed for instance.

I could go on...

Looking forward to chatting more, upvoted, resteemed and followed! :)

Best,
