    It’s ok. In ten more years these CEOs will just have to work through the societal disruption of a violent revolution.

    Like, how many times does history need to repeat itself for the ruling class to not understand where this leads for them? It leads to guillotines.

    Literally the only thing able to stop the violence of unemployed masses is, not AI, not drones, not the police, not the military; it’s socialism.

    We get their violently or non violently. But the ruling class has already decided it’s the former. It’s exciting to live during the fall of the American empire. But in 100 years; America will not exists in the form it does today. Unfortunately, history tells us the next 100 years will not be good for us.

      All of these tech CEOs come from de jure democracies that are de facto oligarchies. It’s how they grew up and all they know. Working class people are Untermenschen for them.
