The end stages of capitalism in which automation is about to make many of the proles redundant and make them realise it.

Lots of people are going to wake up one day and realise that all the wealth ended up in the hands of a few and they got the shit end of the stick despite the only difference been who had the capital at the start of it.

They are getting a head start on that eventuality even if they haven't expressly realised it themselves.

Governments are always frightened of the people because they know what the people might do if they found out everything the governments do.
