The pushback

When disparity became too much for peasants during Feudalism, there was pushback.

And when factories demanded too much from wage workers, there was pushback.

There comes a point when those in power feel the pushback of the masses.

The steam engine was invented and could have alleviated the use of enslaved people. But it didn’t until legislation stepped in. AI could enable the masses toward freedom, but it might not be used that way.

What’s the intent? And will there be pushback?
