> Society doesn't just, as you say quite misleadingly "withhold support", it is actively hostile
This is the same thing. Sovereignty is a zero-sum game.
Realistically, society has no obligation to anybody except itself and its members. By "doing shit on your own" you are actively incurring a cost on society. An independent settlement on a fertile or mineral-rich tract of land is practically denying population, labor, resources, and potential further opportunities to a state that abides it.
It is not that I am an imbecile, you simply have no right to exist in modernity. This is why shirkers are forcibly integrated into the system where possible (by "mental health treatment", or as wealth recycler consumers / forced labor), and efficiently pushed out in all other cases.
And honestly, modernity has many serious flaws, but this is not one of them.
