Destitution was not "imposed" to them
I'd contend it absolutely was, this is why I gave examples of measures imposed by the troika like firing cleaners.
Austerity is the wrong solution at the wrong time and is especially galling given the central bank's largesse to other sectors/countries at the same time.
They should have imposed a large haircut on creditors and given long term loans to Greece, instead they imposed drastic budget cuts (aka destitution for the people of Greece) and sold it as justice. It was unfair, cruel, and fundamentally wrong.
