You can be right all day but if no one listens what’s the point? Join the enemy and exploit the stupid peasants, too.
Seriously though, once we’re pushed below a certain point, we physically can’t escape. We won’t have the time, resources, knowledge, cooperation or skills to execute a strategy, even if we know one that would work. Poverty is powerlessness and if we’re too powerless, it no longer matters how we feel or think about our lives, the wealthy no longer know we exist at all, nevermind care.
The irony is that cooperation has always given us the power to overcome them but we can’t figure out how to actually accomplish that for any length of time.

Okay. It was unimaginably worse than the circumstances you seem to think are prohibitively bad.
