It is an order of magnitude more likely to happen than mass-bombing all data-centers. Each of the goals are also very obtainable cumulatively. Like I said, multiple countries already have many of these in Europe. 

I get it, but lately these days it feels like non-violent resistance does jack shit.

I don't think these changes will come from only non-violence. Labor struggles have always had some, even a lot of, violence. I think there will be violence. The ruling class most often looks to make concessions when the violence gets to a critical mass though, and then those concessions temper things. What probably will happen is that populations will shift left-wing economically once unemployment rates hit double digits, which is going to happen in the next recession/depression. 

Embodied intelligence (robots) are still far behind other fields of AI and it seems like that will be one of the last things AI will actually do, so the rich can't just use the robots to kill everyone. 

The big thing is that people who aren't unemployed will need to have solidarity with those who are, understanding that they are next. That will make the biggest difference.
