Boomers in the 1980s: “Those damn robots took our darn jorbs”

Id love to give robots my job, if all my needs were met and I could do art all day.

You will continue to labor all day for reduced pay, while the robot pretends to do art all day
Reduced pay? If the rich get their way, we’re going to be chattel slaves. They hate us so much and are so disgusted with us, even the worst wage slavery is too good for us.
They’ll kill off the unclean and disabled in mass exterminations, enslave us for a time while/if their ai gets good enough, and eventually when robots are good enough to replace even slaves, the rich will hunt us for sport and do coloseum games on us.
People really underestimate how fucking awful the ruling class is. They are wicked, despicable people who genuinely think anything above slavery and bowing to them is too good for us poors.
