Yeah. Don’t even know what to add to that. Maybe some boomer culture as well, how they had whatever issues that the modern generation doesn’t have and point that out as some kind of hardship while simultaneously being likely to have had the most stable career, technological, and economic progress of any generation in history.
The “pied piper” strategy, where Democrats fund far-right candidates in Republican primaries in order to create a situation where they’re the only alternative to someone abhorrent, rather than actually offering the voters what they want.

Conservatism, mostly.
In the UK, civil servants used to get an excellent pension (a percentage of last earned) . People complained and said that wasn’t fair and it should be removed, so now everyone gets a shit pension. Well done, guys.

This is a common strategy in competitive games. For example, in chess, it might greatly benefit you to hinder your opponent’s pieces rather than improving one of your own pieces.
It might make rational sense in zero sum games where there is a winner and loser (or a draw). But the real world is full of examples of less rational people who forgo an improvement in their own situation to worsen someone else’s situation, to create negative-sum competitive plays in a world where positive-sum collaboration is actually possible.

Greedy people.
