I like how the January 6th coup attempt (domestic terrorism event that aimed to end democracy in the US) was planned months in advance by Republicans and was only the final part in their otherwise soft "legal" coup attempt in the courts; and yet, media and history will forever recall the event as a "riot".

What other types of riots were planned like this?

Did the BBC or other news writers even watch the Jan6 House Committee hearings at all?

Sure humans need an incentive to work, but that doesn't need to be profit. Looking at plenty of civilizations outside a western lense will show you that. Working for the betterment of your fellow man and the advancement of humanity itself should be paramount. First we work to fix the environment, then we lift people across the world, then we look to the stars again. Automation and UBI benefiting the majority is great, but the way we are heading that will not be the case. You would be silly to think the owner class will give up the profits automation provides to the working class. No one should be seriously concerned about incentives to work or getting things done, that is capitalist propaganda. We're fine and rise to challenges, the owner class isn't, doesn't and never have. We have hundreds of years of history to back that up too.
