I would argue we're already in a pseudo class war. Most of us in tech are isolated so far, but the middle class is disappearing worldwide, and the wealth gulf is growing.

Most propaganda seems to be centered on increasing division along gender / race / sexuality boundaries, so that infighting keeps people from looking up for too long.

But I might just be overly radicalised.

All of history is the history of class war. The post-WWII social-democratic years were a kind of truce, but truces in the class war are always unstable.
The western world is about to find out first hand why millions of people decide to leave their homes every year to try and start over elsewhere. As one of those millions of people, I can only shake my head. Was working in an office and being in countless standups that bad?

You could also say what it is you think you already know that others are about to find out, and what it has to do with class war.
