The standard of living isn't low enough yet. Your govts are able to abuse you more w/ impunity b/c your populace is unarmed. What's that theory? Every nation is three missed meals en masse away from revolution?
This is pretty much on the nose. Look at the recent American election. People that don't usually vote or never would vote republican voted trump.
They did that because they see the things going on in the country impacting their personal daily life finally. They will put up with damn near anything as long as their "day to day" does not change or only barely changes. But once they can't buy food, gas, etc when a couple of years earlier it was never a problem they start to "change".
