I think many religious people need to fear smething or need reward to be good, and can't stand that there is people who are good without need menace or bribe.
Extreme political views can be like a religion, and also some standartizations of behavior among society life style. Some people think that if they need drug or sexual extravagança, everyone else need. If they are irresponsible they want everyone to be just to don't blame themselves.
Humans are very irrational in groups. The groups make people feel power and with power they don't give proper value to reflection and winsdow.

At least she acknowledges the many friends she has that abuse social welfare.
