These 2 statements here reflect this weird behavior I have seen in certain countries like the UK where everyone will say things like "we <3 the NHS" or "protect the NHS" during the pandemic, but on the other end either the government or the proletariat or both will be unhappy to expand funding of the NHS.
At times this behavior feels a bit cult-like and I also think that the dopamine-effects are meant more for those giving the applause.
