      Working despite adversity is fetishised, often to an absurd degree, triumph over hardship praised without any critique of hardship's source.

      This logic is roughly akin to Person A breaking Person B's leg, then persuading others to ignoring A's culpability while egging B to walk.

      The myth of social bootstrapping, aka "no handouts" (always amorphously defined by circumstance anyway) basically = "work through the pain."

      "I shouldn't have to pay for social services! They're for freeloaders!" mate you are literally REFUSING to pay for a necessary thing so like

      People who won't pay for healthcare, libraries, hospitals, welfare etc but who want to live in a functional society? THEY are freeloaders.

      They are literally demanding a state of affairs that costs money to maintain but refusing to pay for it because they miss the correlation.

      You want an educated populace? That's money for schools, libraries, trades. Want a healthy populace? That's money for healthcare, hospitals.

      Want safe neighbourhoods and low crime? That's money for social services, WELL-TRAINED law enforcement, public facilities, transportation.

      If you try to predicate all those outcomes on "but people should just WORK HARDER" it physically cannot happen. The conditions aren't there.

      In these times, we would do well to remember the words stamped into the gates of the concentration camp at Dachau: "Work will set you free."

      Beware all political slogans that espouse the same logic, & especially when the inference is that only a degraded few need work to be free.
