alt Hacker News> only people worth existing is the people with capital? replying to this with my thoughts
IMO The missing link is that, as long as humans still have political power, that is the basis of their economic power under the new system. The reason is that it is a continuation of the dynamic we see now in western decadence - politicians bribe the populace for votes. So on one side you have the market for political support, balanced with the market for capitalist robot operations, on either side of the political arena.

What exactly do you mean by “politicians bribe the populace for votes” ?

It's because of this Big Tech is busy undermining the basis of democracy, isolating people in bubbles, poisoning political discourse with slop and pimping would be autocrats. They want to strip political power from common citizens, turning toward sefdom.
Historically when people had no power they held violent riots to reassert that they do. Happened as recently as Jan 6 2021 (unsuccessfully that time).
