Go ahead and automate away every job you see, but don't say I didn't warn you when anti-tech pogroms take your head. The public perception of this industry has been taking a nose dive for a few years now and stuff like this, attitudes like yours, only reinforces it.

And any mobs stupid enough to pogrom will be shot and deserve it for being literal murders, any society to condone it will richly deserve its downfall from superior rivals.

It was stupid scapegoating in the past and it is even stupider now. Notice specifically that scapegoating is specifically at who is weak and at hand - not actual sources of problems.

Anger the general public at your own peril. The elite always believe themselves invulnerable, until they find it proven otherwise.
