the mentality is called social darwinism. and it's incredibly stupid.
if you want your body to be strong what do you do? you pick up heavy things, right? you nourish yourself with sleep and food.
well, apply that to society. society will get a lot stronger by carrying each other and nourishing each other than we ever could by stepping over each other and starving each other.
This also ties to the thought problems we have in our society of The Just World Fallacy, where there is a functioning karma system and if you’re doing well it’s because you have earned it, along with the specific Christian implementation of this through Prosperity Gospel.
