I Like that you ask this question - because I have one amazing answer, "They won't because they are ignorant spoiled children" here in the west people are isolated from the reality of Harsh existence our ancestors fought long and hard to get us to this point step after difficult step, it's our parents and grandparents generation that didn't have to really fight for anything of substance and that's what has allowed this assinine attitude of "Not my problem" to fester and metastasized into this shit we see before us.
I have always had a theory that it doesn't matter what you do day to day but you should always have skill's you can fall back on, now it may sound esoteric but I can and do Knapp flint, I am skilled in animal husbandry, I know the fine art of paper making and a whole host of other weird skill's that I can put to good use should the need arise, but day to day I run a few businesses and sample fine scotch an cigars with alarming regularity. If my cushy position in society was to disappear through some monumental calamity I wouldn't be useless.
The problem is a lot of people would be because most people are not really skilled, most people today don't really have skill's that can remain relevant for more than 20 or so years they just adapt to circumstance but don't really learn the in's and out's of there "profession"., there is much to be said about learning to do something the hard way before you learn to do it the easy way.
My Dad is a living example of this - He's a Nuclear Engineer and he's agog that people in the field who are my age can't produce anything without resorting to a computer first and looking up the answers, my dad is a man who started his working life delivering papers at the age of 9 and then working as a boiler rivet setter at the age of 11 after schools and the weekends, he learned the jobs he was given back to front - this is a man who will do complicated engineering math's in his head because it's easier than using a computer.
Just let that sink in for a second my dad is a man who has worked hard his whole life who find's the mathematics to work out the stress points of a pipe flange containing superheated steam easier to do in his head than using a computer, hell he is the only man who still regularly uses a slide rule because occasionally it's faster for him to do so. But for all his skill's dealing with nuclear reactors do you know what means the most to him? the one thing he thinks of as the foundation stone of his knowledge and life? learning to set and hammer a rivet by hand somewhere he's got the first successful one he did in a box joining two bit's of scrap together and he had to do that reliably before he was allowed to earn more than a few pennies a hour.
My dad because of our particular branch of the family history learned a lesson that some of my ancestors didn't, and that is LEARN YOU'RE JOB BACKWARDS, in fact that's going to go on my tombstone when I meet the great unknown. It's a nice way of saying learn the basics of your job learn the fundamental skill's that make your nice life possible because you might have a nice life now but that nice life can go away if you can't understand how you're able to live that life.
And it's idiots like this who are so isolated from real life who dream of and existence without rules or boundaries who have never really had to work for anything don't see the point in rules or boundaries want to smash them all down because they don't understand why those boundaries exist in the first place let alone why they have become a foundation of our modern life.
