> It's how people will morally justify the situation saying it's "good enough"

This is a logical fallacy. It can be claimed that any human right can make the population complacent: 5 days work week, public healthcare and so on and there is no evidence to prove it's true.

On the contrary, it's well known that people with free time can become socially and politically engaged, while people working 2 jobs have no time for it.

So once the problems are more glaring, what remedy will you suggest? Cancel automation?

But in an automation-heavy future how could it be better without some combination of revolution and full-blown socialism?
