I don't think that's actually true.
I think you have to be desperate, and the one thing there is no shortage of is people who are desperately trying to cling on to some semblance of a good life while the economy and everything around them is falling apart.
No one's livelihood is safe anymore, and successive neo-liberal governments in North America and Europe have been making it worse, while using the very people whose lives they have upended and often destroyed as scape goats for their own selfish ends.
