      The day an automated system reduces my pay for socializing all of 3 seconds to myself is the day I begin welding steel plates to a bulldozer and go for a drive through upper mansgemt offices.

    I mean, quality of life has gone up almost everywhere in the world (warzones being the exception ofcourse). The issue is just that the class divide is also going up everywhere.

      If the quality of life of poor people is 1% better while for rich people it’s 100000% better, then we still need to get some guillotines out in the streets

      Just because it’s “better” doesn’t mean it’s fair or that it shouldn’t be orders of magnitude better

        If you live in a very privileged country then maybe that is your experience. The rest of the world however has only barely started catching up in terms of food security. None the less the situation is soooo much better than it was 30 years ago. Its still not good by any means, but to say that it hasnt gone up is absurd.

      I mean you could get yourselves some of those regulations the Europeans seem to like to make this illegal. But that would be communism so you won’t.

        There’s only one thing worse the out of control capitalism, and that’s regulated and fair capitalism.

    At least the robots on the packing line will be alive, the rest of us - as no longer needed labour - will be dead, haha.

      Nah you will be kept poor enough to not be able to rebel and rich enough to have something (to lose) and be able to participate in capitalism.

      Capitalism needs workers to exploit, even once all the robots are built. In the end it’s people that have to do the labor and that must pay the billionaires next space shuttle
