Except Labor in Tech is unique in that it has zero class consciousness and often actively roots for their exploiters.

If we were to unionize, we could force this machine to a halt and shift the balance of power back in our favor.

But we don't, because many of us have been brainwashed to believe we're on the same side as the ones trying to squeeze us.

Last time it was tried the union coerced everyone to root for their exploiters. People that unionize aren't magically different.

What “last time” are you referring to specifically?

I think the issue at play here is the quickly changing job descriptions, RSU's and the higher paid bunch benefiting from very unequal pay across a job category.
