This graph primarily shows an individual's perceived locus of control.

Once you see it, you'll notice it again and again. As people lose any feeling of control over their own life (bills, relationship issues, job issues etc) they'll increasingly arrive at external causes. 

Their family. Their job. National Politics. The economy. 

If it gets bad enough it expands beyond the graph. The deep state. The reptilians. The matrix.

If people lack a feeling of personal agency, it becomes increasingly important to gain that feeling by first blaming, but then "having special knowledge" of the secret external forces that are removing that agency.

If they're right (and of course they are) then not only is their lack of agency and laziness warranted, but soon they'll be maximally important because of it. They're going to blow the lid on the whole thing. 

I'm of the opinion that most psychological dispositions, and most political allegiances sit somewhere on this spectrum, with some specific focus and some breadth of concern.

Current thing politics is more important than cleaning the kitchen because YOU'RE more important than cleaning the kitchen. The struggle of the proletariat is more important than getting a job because YOU are more important than getting a job. Uncovering the reptilians secret plan to breed humanity to mine gold is more important than getting clean and sober because YOU have the special knowledge that will liberate humanity and see you heralded as the misunderstood genius that you are.

Or you could go the other way. Clean your damn room, call your mum, help your neighbour, build up opportunities for your community, (and THEN do what you can about the reptilians)
