Seems more likely that they’ll have more time not in the sense of having easier jobs but by being laid off and having to fight for their livelihood.

This is exactly what I meant.

People who have to fight for subsistence won't easily revolt, because they're too busy trying to survive.

People who are unemployed have nothing to lose by not revolting. And the more automation there is, the more unemployed people there will be.

So we see it the same way, but I don't feel much optimistic about it because it's going to get much worse before it might get better. All the suffering and struggle that it will take to reform society will be ugly.

Yes, I think it will get worse before it gets better. As long as there is a sociopathic desire to hoard wealth, and no fucks given to our fellow humans, this is how it will be. Capitalism causes these issues, and so capitalism can't fix them.
