Nah. There is nothing beyond being made redundant in your job and labor leverage. That is all. It has got nothing to do with resentment over fucking machines. It’s all about people (the executives that you mention) fucking us over. The end. Completely human problem.

I know I’m being sold some bullshit when this is made into something inherently existential and psycho-identitarian. An egalitarian future of labor-worthlessness means that there is nothing above us to dictate anything at all—maybe not even nature itself, save for meteors and other cosmic events. I’m not afraid of being “worthless” in that world of complete freedom. Fuck no.

I am afraid of being hungry and homeless long before society reaches "an egalitarian future of labor-worthlessness" that's good for common people.
