It's not like we actually know how time travel would work. Because, you know, it's not currently a thing at all.

As much of a good idea as this is, I'm not sure a NYC-centric local news has its place on news@lemmy.world
As in, this really doesn't matter for most of the world.
YSK that in 16 States in the USA has banned Ranked-Choice voting, including 5 that has just banned it in 2025, and 6 of those bans happened in 2024.

That 96% of the population isn't currently in a state so shitty they'd revolt. We're talking about a dystopian future where there is barely any work to do, yet no UBI or equivalent system. A future where the rich have everything and keep everything. People born in these conditions won't be too lazy for a revolution.
Not at all. There is many ways to rationalize time, nothing is settled at all. The "settled theory" you talk about would create paradoxes, if time travel is ever made real. And paradoxes don't work well with reality.
There is actually a fairly common way to rationalize time that is the opposite of what you're describing: Time is entirely a construct, there is no past, no future, only the present. Take away all of humanity's memories and the past doesn't exist at all.
There's also an understanding of time that says it only goes forward, making time travelling to the past impossible.
