You must be exacerbated... so I apologize. But, what exactly is false about this. It stands to reason that getting a job sounds a lot easier than starting a revolution for most people.

Only if your economy has jobs. Let's say AI revolution brings 90% unempoyment: then it's easier to revolt than to find a job, if:
- you still can: you are not yet a slave, with the ruling class + machines not yet fully in control
- you have a reason to revolt: your life quality is low, because society does not give a damn about the losers
With those being true, a revolution should happen well before reaching those high unemployment figures.
As per my other response re: your apparent implicit belief in a labor theory of value, now you're espousing the implicit belief that a labor market must tend towards full employment, and at a wage level that makes revolution unattractive.
If I might make the observation, your positions seem to be littered with false beliefs/understandings.
I'm assuming another one of those false beliefs would be that you'd be in the relative merit camp under any such meritocracy...
