Because reactionaries think if someone is getting something “for free,” that was something they could have gotten to keep for themselves. They don’t want free bus fare because they think they could have kept part of their taxes to spend on F150s. They don’t want affordable housing because it means minorities and poor people moving into their city. They think state-owned businesses are less efficient than the private sector.
All of these beliefs are wrong, of course. They are unable to see how benefits for the rest of society improves their owns lives because they’re terminally individualistic.
Yeah makes sense. I suppose if those things were reserved for them and not the people they despise, they migjt song a different tune. At least to some. Idk even thinking of it from a more selfish position it’s so hard for me to think about that facet of their beliefs. It’s less about improving their own conditions but making sure everyone else’s are worse. Ugh
