Millions of people being put out of work might change the political landscape quite a bit. We’re talking about a technological revolution, so I don’t think it’s too crazy to consider an economic or political revolution to go with it.
The (first) French Revolution, the period in history to which all revolution is compared, did not distribute equality to the masses. It distributed The Terror, and then it distributed Emperor Napoleon, and then it distributed the Bourbon monarchy right back into power.
Then the (second) French Revolution changed one king for another.
Then the (third) French Revolution distributed another fucking Emperor Napoleon.
Revolutions aren't as equality-building as people want to believe.

No, it won't. Even during the vid, when people couldn't work, the politicians found a way to enrich the wealthy while only doing the bare minimum for those who lost their jobs.
