I got the impression that they were English, in which case there's a trend amongst liberals to be huge fans of austerity. Partly because that's what Blair used to fund bailing out the banks during the financial crash, partly because there's been a concerted push since then to propagandise everyone on benefits as lazy so that people are less bothered by further austerity.
I'll have to admit I was also knocked down by seeing liberal takes that are so outside of my frame of reference I didn't know anyone thought that way.
For example, there was this one user who had decided to die on the hill of getting rid of welfare because they felt people on it were just lazy.
