The thing that gripes me is that it’s not even necessary to want a good life for other people to arrive at the conclusion that one should support things like this.
One could be completely self-absorbed and self-interested and still arrive at the same conclusions. All it requires is the bare modicum of thought necessary to figure out that society as a whole benefits when people have to put up with less shit and anything that benefits society as a whole benefits me.

It’s not even complicated or particularly subtle.
