It's not reasoned. It's the more annoying end of Libertarian Republicanism, is what it is -- the hundreds of thousands so assured of their own superiority that they believe that surely THEY would come out on top if only the rules were made 'fair', by which they really mean if only they were allowed to screw other people over. They believe they are Darwinian champions held back by PC rules and regulations that make life easy for people who really should have perished on their own by now for the good of the species. Their boastful false modesty and rationalized sense of false ethical norms is what makes them proclaim that, hey, everyone would benefit if only the government would turn this into a free-for-all, and anyone who failed to benefit, well, that must be purely their own fault, those losers, and it's none of my affair or responsibility.
Like white supremacists (often very like), they are grossly deluded. They're blissfully unaware of how they benefit mightily from the same social institutions that they scorn. And if they got their way, and government's protections of society were removed, they would wind up at the bottom of the pile in short order, all the while blaming minorities and foreigners and, still, the government, and anyone else but themselves. Because they really do believe in their own natural superiority. They just don't understand a damned thing, and don't care to.
The biggest difference between a rich man's dog and a poor man's dog isn't how much steak they get to eat but that the rich man's dog believes it's entitled to that steak, as if by God, and believes that steak is its inevitable destiny.
