Why in the Russian revolutions would people side with the whites?

During the Russian revolutions, some people sided with the Whites due to their opposition to the Bolshevik regime and its radical policies, which many perceived as a threat to traditional values, social order, and private property. The Whites, comprising a coalition of monarchists, liberals, and moderate socialists, attracted those who favored a return to a more stable government and feared the potential chaos and authoritarianism of Bolshevik rule. Additionally, many in the military and business sectors supported the Whites, hoping to restore the pre-revolutionary status quo and avoid the economic disruption caused by the Bolsheviks' policies.
