> the industrial revolution took 80 years to start benefiting workers

Come on. This is dishonesty and isn't the reality. We may agree that the Industrial Revolution may have taken decades (certainly not 80 years) for its benefits to be *clearly and widely* felt by workers, but anything further is an abusive claim. So what, because the progress doesn't benefit to workers instantly, we shouldn't do it ?

In the end, whatever your position, industrialization eventually raised living standards. So what's wrong with that ?

> The continued impact of automation at least contributed to the rise of right wing extremism and an erosion of democracy all over the west

This is oversimplifying and correlation at the best, not causation

You asked where the danger was, the response told you that disrupting the status quo can be dangerous.
