If I were to guess it’s a perception that the world being cruel and there being bad people is “just the way it is” and that holding on to “kiddie morality” makes you “too good for this world”. By extension, caring and sharing then makes you either naive, weak, foolhardy or parasitic. In such a cruel world, preservation of oneself and the group you belong to become all that matters.

Society sucks, but “handouts” will be taken advantage of, accepting queer people threatens social order, leftists and “soft” people always get in the way of what needs to be done: discipline and cleansing.
