Does Buddhism have an equivalent for modern internet slang "cope"? / Nietzschean slave morality?

In modern internet slang, "cope" means that you are saying something outlandish that you only espouse because you are unwilling to face a harsher truth. It could also mean that you are using a fact as a shield to hide from a more painful reality. It is a very specific and mainly derogatory usage of the original word "cope", as in "coping mechanism". For example, when a religious guy sees a man having fun with a very beautiful girlfriend, being envious, the guy might say "this is nothing compared to the joy of heaven, they're going to hell because they're not married so actually they've won nothing, god gave me a worse hand because I'm his toughest soldier" etc In modern internet spaces you might say that this man is coping. He is saying (or rather, trying to believe) things to regulate his emotions, not to state facts. He's not facing reality. "The economy is so bad because the politicians are messing things up, that's why we have this massive job scarcity" said by an unemployed person with potentially unimpressive qualifications is another example. It doesn't have to be religious. I believe another term for this is "slave morality", as defined by Nietzsche. Is there a concept like it in Buddhism?
