There is a view that being a kindee is generosity, because you allow other people to express kindness (and feel good about themselves?).

Sure, and a world where we're more dependent on each other would be a better world. It's clearer all the time that humans work much better that way.

But if you're only a "kindee", if you structure your life in a way that you can only receive help from other people and never be the helper, that's not humans dependent on each other.

Seems like a good way to rationalize receiving and not giving anything.
