Generally, I view conservative values as high-scarcity, survival-oriented; designed to help cultures thrive when pressure is high. Liberal values are low-scarcity, and help people thrive when pressure is low. We're privileged to be able to hold liberal values.

Unless you are empathetic to people struggling and want them to have it easier than you did? Should society not continually strive to make life easier for future generations? Would a utopian society not be one where survival (if not life in general) easy?

Yeah, but I think in their mind, empathy for future generations takes the form of teaching them to be self reliant, because in their mind that's what leads to thriving - and in many ways they're often correct about this.

But aren't there other avenues, areas to develop self-reliance in life? Why make something like healthcare contingent on that?
