I fear that what will happen is that the unemployed/underemployed masses will be manipulated into focusing their frustrations on culture wars, kinda like what is happening now and has happened in the past. 'Those people are taking your jobs!' 'Those people are amoral and lazy!' 'Those people are terrorists!' 'Those people are taking benefits that were meant for you!' I mean we're at a point in history where there are many people who are voting for politicians who are brazenly seeking to destroy healthcare, give even bigger tax cuts to rich people, tear down regulatory agencies that protect people from pollution, fraud, and unsafe food. To some degree some people believe that 'regulation kills jobs' but I'm pretty sure most people want clean air, safe food, fair education policy, affordable healthcare, etc. But because of all of the political tribalism and the painting of the other side as outright villains, people are supporting politicians who are pushing policies that hurt them directly. As long as there are convenient scapegoats and wedge issues that can be exploited it's going to be hard to turn public opinion towards reining in the oligarchy. Especially since the super rich have much more sophisticated tools for regulatory capture and manipulation of sentiment now.
