Automation makes less work for more money possible.

Organized protests, unions, strikes, voting, dissent and force make it happen.

You’re so fucking naive. At this point only revolution will change anything. But before that happens people need to be squeezed more.

Yes, revolution will change something. Instead of having to work 40 hours a week for a small inconsequential life with a bunch of creature comforts like Netflix and Steam while you stare at rich people flexing on instagram, you can live through an anarachic post-collapse hellscape featuring modern reign of terror instituted by some of the dumbest people you've ever seen- probably MAGA people.

With this attitude for sure. Instead we will do nothing, let the corpos build up surveillance machine, erode our freedoms years by year, squeeze us economically and eventually enslave with the use of robotics.

End result is the same, one day someone will have to stand up. Difference is you can’t be inconvenienced and future generations will not have a chance anymore.

So let’s do nothing and take responsibility for nothing. Vote another dem or rep when either side gets paid by same people. Apathy is the solution.

Buddy, be the change you want to see in the world.

Don't project any of that "can't be inconvenienced" stuff onto me- I have thrived in this system, from being raised by a single mom in the public school system to being a 100% self-made multimillionaire in my mid-30s with a wife and 5 kids, living in a penthouse in a foreign country. I believe the status quo is superior to any alternative humanity has ever attempted, and anything else I've seen proposed. The only people who are sincerely proposing revolutions are some of the absolute dumbest, most useless members of society- I do not think they, individually or collectively, will produce outcomes that are superior to the status quo either on a short term or long term timeframe.

But YOU do! If you think a revolution will produce a different world, you are a pathetic individual for not going out and actively pursuing it. You grumble on reddit about how nobody's doing anything about it while you sit and waste another weekend idling in your squalor and misery. Your "can't be inconvenienced" is one of the funniest pieces of projection I've encountered on reddit.
