alt Hacker NewsPeople understand that they can't, in isolation, fight againts hundreds of billions of capital.
It is better to profess allegiance to their new replacements and eek out a little more time of employment, than to be branded by the powers that be as a contrarian, a luddite, an enemy of progress and get the boot now, not tomorrow.
This idea that it's about the big bad capital is... also not very bright. Who would want to do a job not because it's necessary or useful but just to produce an empty effort that justifies a salary? I can't see any joy or meaning in labouring every day to produce less and worse products than what could have been made without me. If the point of the charade is to justify my salary, then just give me a basic income and I'll spend my day at the beach instead, or doing something that is just a pleasure hobby.
