The act of giving involves someone who receives, that doesn't make it anti-giving.

> it is anti-solidarity if you benefit from a system that you have never contributed

What's your stance on disabled children who can never sustain themselves?

I don’t have any problem with disabled children or even adults being taken care of by the society. But that’s not the point. Fully able bodied people that can work and contribute are taking advantage of the system without giving back anything to the system. That’s what’s anti-solidarity

The act of giving involves a choice. If you don't have a choice its not you giving but someone else taking.
