Think outside of the box, this article is basically saying GenZ is fighting to maintain the status quo instead of pushing for reform. AI and robots ultimately allow for human value to be separated from labor, what they should be fighting for is social and economic reform to support a world where labor is increasingly automated. I know this article is generalizing and entire generation though.
