I am by no means suggesting that single people with nothing to lose are the only ones to fight. People fight when they are pressed into a corner. They fight when they have to chose between fighting and losing what matters. They don't fight after their family is dead, but they will not fight until the livelihood of their family is threatened.
I am not suggesting this is how it should work; rather this is how it works historically. Everyone has different thresholds for how threatened they must feel before they fight. I am just indicating (based on history) that enough people will not fight until what they value is imminently threatened.
