Oppressive societies automatically view needing help as a failing because of their built in tendency to view strength as right. The more communal a society becomes the more, I believe, we would see the opposite tendency come about.
This explains a lot about the horrible way Christians treated me when I asked them for help finding food banks/accessing food in general. They told me to "man up and sort your own problems out," and said I shouldn't even be getting disability benefits anyway because "that's socialism," and refused to help me in any way. I think you're right and they viewed me as undeserving for being weak.
I'm sorry for the way other Christians have treated you. Much of Christianity here in the West is infested with Imperialist and Colonialist ideologies. I hate what the West has made of my faith, along with everything else.
