I feel like by the time the societal pressure starts rising in any major way, it won't matter anymore. By that point, the people who will profit will become gods with a prepared response for every action the lower classes could take.

I feel like this subthread is full of passive acceptance of defeat.

How many years did it take for HN to go from “worker unions bad because I make a lot of money” to “Of course there is a capitalist/worker war going on and in fact the capitalists might become technology-assisted gods”? I guess we’re all vulgar marxists when we think it’s too late to fight back.

Where did the can-do hustler attitude go? Only applicable for looking out for number one?

But now that we are all, at least the non-millionaires here, in the same boat? Curious sudden onset of catatonia
