Greece is just a proof of concept to test what is about to come for the rest of western society. The real question is why haven't they started a revolution to hunt down their oppressors and slave masters yet?
Kind of the opposite problem in play here. The people of Greece did this shit to themselves.
They kept electing whoever was promising to give them more money and time off, even after it was clear that those policies were going to result in the complete financial collapse of the country. Hell, even after the financial collapse started, they had a referendum vote that basically fully supported the government's actions.
Greece, collectively was/is the EUs problem welfare recipient. They just thought the rest of the EU would keep giving them money till the end of time, so there was no reason to actually get their shit in order.
