It seems the technique you’re describing is a kind of societal “good cop, bad cop”. Similar scenario to an interrogation too (trying to get information from someone who does not want to share the information) because in this case the challenge is “how to get people to share the capacity for self-determination, quality of living, and dignity when they clearly prefer to hoard it, even to the detriment of others”.
And also the tax/pension/health/VAT deductions from money earned is x% for varying scary values of x, but the equivalent from money “avoided” AKA “money you didn’t need to earn because you didn’t need to spend it because you fixed stuff yourself” is 0%. That is the reason DIY, Right-To-Repair, barter systems, etc are all demonised institutionally. They are wedge-issues which run counter to the fostered futility-narrative that keeps the wage-slaves quietly running on their mouse-wheels, and out of the way of the ownership-class while they constantly “repair” society to their liking.
