If history is any teacher here it's going to be latter with the loudest voices of support coming from people are convinced that these systems couldn't and aren't possibly harming them, that they are above-average and therefore benefiting, and only those slack-jawed lazy nonspecific others who aren't (but absolutely are) working hard will be the target.

That's definitely the recent history, and the current propaganda strategy of modern oligarchs, but looking even a little beyond living memory there are many other solutions history can offer us, including labor solidarity, trust-busting, and of course more extreme measures that most would likely prefer to avoid, but which history shows us do happen sometimes
