People can't endure, that's the thing. Decades of austerity, cuts to what was never an amazingly strong safety net and massive increases in the price of housing driving people further away geographically from informal social safety nets of family and community has basically fucked over any resilience the majority of people have.
Shit, even if you believed in the bullshit, freedom and democracy don't put food on the table or pay the bills.
