    Then they will someday wake up with a shock, because no amount of tech will stop 99% of the population from winning a revolution. That only happens in movies.

    Plus, many countries would riot far before it gets to this point. We frenchies protested for years “just” because of our retirement being pushed a few years…

      What 99%? 96% of that 99% you mention I have observed to be quite lazy. Things have been severely bad for decades yet no meaningful reaction.

        That 96% of the population isn’t currently in a state so shitty they’d revolt. We’re talking about a dystopian future where there is barely any work to do, yet no UBI or equivalent system. A future where the rich have everything and keep everything. People born in these conditions won’t be too lazy for a revolution.
