    Is the anti-welfare sentiment primarily based on the abuse of social security though? I think a sizable chunk of the population is generally opposed to political solidarity on an ideological level.

    Not because they are truly convinced that life in a “every person for themseves” type society would be preferable, but because they are inundated with propaganda and have internalized the rationale of the capitalist environment they live in.
