The overlords cannot ever win. Their problem isn't people. It's physics. Physics, the laws of the universe, determine what is efficient, what is profitable, and what is robust.
The laws of physics are advancing decentralization of means of production. Centralization is the sole mechanism that enables parasitism, overlords, and psychopaths to seize power by doing shit no one else would dream of to get it. If we're making our own shit, they got no pipeline to tap. If my neighbor is making coffee makers, I don't buy from Amazon and pay a cut to the banksters.
Decentralization is freedom. It's the restoration of the egalitarian society humanity evolved in and for, for hundreds of thousands of years, before the advent of agriculture.
Centralization is a temporary phase necessary to the advance of technology through crude and primitive stages before it becomes advanced enough for individuals to produce the modern goods and services that create the blessings of civilization.
Once that happens, the former overlords are just plebs, with no one and nothing to parasitize. They can't threaten, psychologically manipulate, or trick the laws of physics. As long as clever monkeys continue to exist, we will continue to advance technology. That's what clever monkeys do.
The overlords are doomed to fail. It's just up to us when that happens. Better sooner than later, IMHO.
