> Workers don't want to hear about their alienation. They want a raise, dignity, childcare and a stake in the game. They don't want to be surveilled, or fired by an email generated by an NN.

All of those things are encompassed by a single word—alienation. They are all a consequence of a loss of control over your working life.

Ah yes! The fact that workers find this shite meaningless is further proof that it's true. Of course all those things are encompassed by alienation. Alienation encompasses everything, because it doesn't mean anything. Thinking back on teenage me on may day. What an embarrassment. I'm done.
