It’s fear. Many were too protected. Got soft. Live in fear. And thus seek protection. They don’t hate responsibility. They fear the responsibility and vulnerability that comes with freedom and self sovereignty because they don’t possess the strength, albeit mostly mental, to ensure their likely success in freedom. Fear causes them to seek protection and give up freedom. Funny flip side, fear leads to crime and criminal behavior. The inability to guarantee success in an uncertain world where your integrity and hard work build success in a process where often faith in the outcome is required while investing your time and effort. The criminal can’t handle that and seeks instead the shortcut, even though it harms others. The criminal and the socialist are born of the same social primordial goo. Faithless fear. What makes that goo? The lack of sound money can make it through the resulting lack of opportunity and community.
