I think you’re close but not quite there. There’s a significant part of the population that think we’re all born the same - the old blank slate theory. Therefore, everything good or bad that you do ultimately comes from external forces. If you’re dealing meth it’s because you had a single mother household and then the government had the audacity to put you in juvie for committing arson and now here you are. Or perhaps it’s something more broad like systemic racism. Littering is harder to come up with a nice story to justify.
Anyways, that type of thinking is a lot more common with liberals than anyone else - which makes sense. If you’re against racism,sexism, etc. to the extreme you basically need to believe we’re all exactly the same, apart from external circumstance. At its extreme they’re the same type of people that don’t believe that men have an advantage in most sports, for instance.
