They shared a perspective i hadn’t considered: all the AI involvement in the workplace, the constant surveillance, the rigid hierarchies–it all serves as ways to acquaint people with authoritarianism.

I mean, it isn’t illegal to treat workers with suspicion and malice – and frankly, they can always leave! (Same could be said for citizens, on second thought…)

If all the businesses decide they want to run that way (or if all the businesses get absorbed by 2-3 mega-corporations and they decide to treat workers that way), it’s within their rights to. Hell, we’ve been discovering for quite some time that businesses may even operate illegally until found out, and even then it’s often not enough to stop them – it simply becomes an operating expense.

Isn’t it interesting that the richest people in the world are allied with each other politically? At least here in this shithole we call the USA, we now get to witness enthusiastic levels of corruption, and every major corp with their shitty, billionaire leader is there getting their slice of pie.

The authoritarianism begins in the workplace (and schools!) where people become conditioned to the hierarchy, then ultimately get dominated by the authoritarian government that they themselves somehow voted for.
