When they feel they are getting screwed over, conservative proles WILL join unions, go out on the street and even revolutions. However, at the current time, they side with capital, because they believe that a better capital is the only way to improve their own lives - a false consciousness, if you will. Plus moral notions from religion, liberalism and its education, etc. - virtues like hard work and no complaining or the proper way a society should be run.
