This is something I've been saying for a long time. But it's interesting that it's coming from the slavemaster general himself... ​​​

Yeah low-key I find it so weird when people online describe a dystopian society where everyone is a slave and nobody ever fought back till that point. If too many people are left without a job it is either some sort of UBI or destabilization there's no in-between

I see countries like North Korea and Iran existing today and think it's very possible that we end up like that. I also see people like Elon Musk wanting a robot army while being essentially a member of the Trump administration and see how it could be very possible we are on that path.

Yeah I'm not sure how people can't imagine fascist dictatorships with low quality of life for the average worker existing when they already do and have through out history. Bezos already has 380 billion in a country with like a million homeless people so the rich continuing to get richer while everyone else gets poorer wouldn't be at all surprising.
