You don't need to drive, just Uber. You still wanna drive? Well then you don't get all the features unless you pay monthly for the premium subscription for the software for your car. You wanna drive undisturbed? Fine, but we're gonna use cameras in the car to analyze your facial expressions as you drive by billboards and hear ads on your spotify.
You want to be left alone? We're just going to track your location at all times. You want to wash your clothes? Just pay someone else to use their washing machine or subscribe to shared washing machines.
You want a house? Sure thing, just pay monthly rental fees. Can't afford it? Just "co-live" in a house with 8 other people, bro. Want to have your rented lawn mowed? You know the drill. Did you want dinner? We'll just charge you by the meal, grocery shopping is for boomers.
Why would anyone even want to own anything? Just pay rental fees for everything, instead.
Do you people really not see how this is the material manifestation of Marx's immiseration thesis? But this is not amenable to DUHHHHH VOTE DEMOCRATIC braindeadism as a solution. It produces revolution.

Quote: For it (i.e. capitalist alienation) to become an “intolerable” power, i.e. a power against which men make a revolution, it must necessarily have rendered the great mass of humanity “propertyless,” and produced, at the same time, the contradiction of an existing world of wealth and culture, both of which conditions presuppose a great increase in productive power, a high degree of its development
