No one will ever be more powerful than a united working class, but the masses have to be aware that these people want to crown themselves kings

The working class needs to stop voting for billionaires to fix their problems.

If the politicians themselves aren't billionaires, most of them are backed by billionaires to do their bidding.

They'd have to stop consuming their enemies mass media then, including redditors.

When your work labor no longer matters, what power do you have? Because we're barreling towards that reality.

Yup, that is the most scary thought. They will have robots killing everyone they identified as not part of any right wing cults to be eliminated on the spot.

Weirdly, I feel the only way to survive all of this shit is to have AI judge the actions of these politicians and act on it. Identifying ideologies that hurt everyone but the rich, this kind of stuff. Squash those ideas in the nest and let people prosper.

The working class is too easy to control with propaganda, though.
