So even if you don't get a significant payraise as an employee, you can be somewhat assured that at least your current salary will not have it's purchasing power reduced overtime due to inflation of the currency.
What do you think will happen to about 80% of the population in a society where all the goods and services are automated?
@TheBadfish AKA inflation in the value of education
@ubermensch There isn't any value. The point of all automation is basically to reduce the need of employees. If the factory floor is operated entirely by robots, then you don't need the same amount of maintenance guys to keep the robots working as you would've needed factory workers in the past.
I think the example of the farmer is a useful one to this proble. One farmer with one tractor and combine harvester can plow the same area of crop fields that required hundreds of farmhands in the past.
There was a time when a single burger flipping bread winner could support an entire family and household. But then feminism happened ๐
@TheBadfish I'm not saying that automation is bad. At worst it's morally neutral.
What i'm saying is that corporations already control the development of automation, to serve the ends of the shareholders. They will eventually leave all the labourers behind.
One could propose various ways to curtail this development. Not necessarily by banning or destroying automation altogether.
@TheBadfish So you suggest socialism/communism/workers revolt then?
@TheBadfish I don't mean to be uncharitable here. I'm genuinely curious.
@ubermensch Perhaps. But when the enemy also use drones. What will happen to war, when warfare is composed solely of drones fighting other drones?
I've got a couple of ideas. Just picking one at random: harsh and dystopian as it may sound, we might actually have to start enforcing a depopulation program and shrink the global population of humans.
@ubermensch I think the rammifications and the treatment of war will change significantly when actual humans aren't putting their lives on the line for it. But that's just my two cents
@TheBadfish I've been thinking in similar terms. White depopulation isn't necessarily a problem in itself. The major problem is that no steps are taken to depopulate the non-whites as well.
@Redxl I'm not talking about extermination. I'm talking about reduction for the sake of maintaining the living standards of the "have nots"
Even with a giant automation industry, some employees will still be necessary. Coming from a lot of different maintenance and factory jobs myself, I can tell you that it doesn't matter how advanced the automation gets. You'll always need a guy with a big stick whacking the machinery to get it working again when it grinds to a halt for whatever reason.
But what automation definitely will lead to is mass unemployment for most labourers.
So either we go full communist and "seize the means of production" of the capitalist oligarchs who own the automated industries
Or we introduce gradual depopulation FOR ALL. So there's not as many human workers to go around, and the oligarchs will have to still compete over getting the necessary human employees to keep their automated factories running.
@ManAnimal I think it does pose a threat to the majority of labourers. They can't all switch careers to become Youtubers or e-beggars after all.
@TheBadfish SO you wouldn't dislike my idea of let's say: abolishing all humanitarian aid to continents like africa, and instead introduce sterilization for monetary compensation programs then? (probably one of my most heinous ideas)
@ManAnimal Yeah, but I don't think it will compare to when you start introducing androids with A.I and manual dexterity that can compare to human intelligence and human dexterity.
@ManAnimal So? As you've already pointed out yourself: technological progress happens quite quickly and it does displace people from the workforce.
What's your solution to all those labourers looking at getting replaced in 50 years?
Also, it's not just labourers jobs that are on the line. I see a pretty grim future for the economists, stock brokers and investment bankers as well. It's gonna be hard to compete in the field of "investment decision making" when your competition is composed of high powered supercomupers that can analyze the entire global market in the fraction of a second.
@ManAnimal Can you provide any sort of proof that for every job destroyed, another is created at a 1:1 ratio?
Looking at the last couple of decades, all I've seen is a lot of "make belive" jobs popping up (like "professional youtubers" or e-beggars)
@ManAnimal In what way? All I see in China is that they manage to outcompete in certain markets due to basically shitting all over working conditions and salary levels of their labourers in comparison to the west.
@TheBadfish I'm not "invalidating" it per se. But I would argue that in order for something to qualify as a job, then there has to be a tangible and predictable NEED in society for it. It has to fulfil a kind of function that society can't do without.
I don't think e-begging fulfils any vital function. And as far as that market goes, it's well over-saturated as it is. It doesn't have much room for more people to make a living off of it.
@Snake Well in a sense, they're not.
Right now they might be jobs. Even being a youtuber. But think for a moment of the co-dependency of various industries that enables these jobs to actually create value.
Why do youtubers make money?
Why does adertisement make money?
@ManAnimal No, but we're not the customers of gmail or discord. We're their product.
@ManAnimal Nope, we're not consumers of discord or gmail. Either, we're only product because discord and google makes money of our usage of gmail and discord through advertisement, selling our data, search history etc. etc.
@ManAnimal Maybe you do. But I haven't bought anything from either of them. I'm just a user of free service.
But this brings me to the point about industry co-dependency. Discord and gmail depends on the revenue from advertisers who want to purchase our data and being allowed to expose us to advertisement.
@ManAnimal Okay then, if you think that gmail or discord makes most of their money from their users buying things from then then I guess you could make that argument. But we'd have to look at actual sales figures to be sure.
@ManAnimal You're catching on, young padawan ๐
If we, the users don't have money to spend, then there's no profit to be had for the advertisers who want to advertise to us to buy their shit.
@ManAnimal Now you've got to ask yourself, do you think the majority of users on discord or gmail are wealthy captains of industry or heirs to millionaires with huge sums of money to spend?
Personally I don't think so. The vast majority are people with pretty regular jobs. Jobs that can and will eventually be automated.
If their incomes go, then so does the reason for advertisers to pay discord and gmail money for their data and the ad-spots.
@ManAnimal I agree, it is hard to quantify. Personally I actually consider it sort of a "capitalist religion". Advertisers are basically the religious snake oil salesmen who promise an increase in sales with their recipe of marketing campaigns. But none of them can really prove that their work actually increase sales at all (or that a lack of a flashy, expensive marketing campaign would DECREASE sales)
But the "faith" in advertisement is so strong in most markets, that the advertisement industry can survive on faith alone it seems.
I have to go as well. But it's been an interesting chat.
Later my dudes

Nicola Sturgeon was born completely devoid of a sense of irony
It's official: If you don't want to have sex with a transwoman in Britain as a straight man, then you're comitting "hate crime"

@Death in June Dude... This is the UK we're talking about. Whenever a minority feels offended and discriminated against, you can bet your ass the judge will side with them.
The judge is gonna be like: "You're gonna fuck that tranny. And you're gonna love it. Or else I'll throw you in jail for the rest of your natural life"
It's time! Youtubers union action!

"Heidi Van Tassel was about to drive home from a Thai meal with friends near the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles in April when the attacker โ named as Jere Blessings โ struck."
Maybe Jere Blessings just wanted to show her what happens when you eat Thai food and accidentally tripped?
I prefer it when countries are kept and maintained as very exclusive nightclubs, where unwanted plebs are forced to stand in line for hours on end only to be turned away at the door, and where the cream of the crop get to pass the red, velvet rope and gain entry.
Anyone disagree?
I have an IQ of 5000 more than any number that anyone else say.
And Vander Looney always have 200 less IQ than me
@Vander Loonรฉy I've taken mensas IQ test. I got 131. I'm happy with it.
Krisemann: Technically I suppose. But I've also done a lot of really stupid shit in my days that probably offset the score.
@Krisemann Well if you're a western, male gamer then I wouldn't be surprised. They seem to fall in that range most of the time.
@grazzt I don't know. The one with the sequences of pictograms.
Although I did take one in the past that was purely text based with written questions that you had to give the most logical answer to, and I scored higher on that one (142)
My dick lifts the roof of our house when I get a morning boner... And my bedroom is on the first floor.
All I want for christmas is.... An n-word pass! :D
Too many weebs in here
Heard the strangest thing today. A muslim was calling in to a radio talkshow, and this is state run radio. He was lamenting the fact that the mainstream are so worried about "offending muslims" for maintaining and celebrating a traditional, christian holiday.
He was sick and tired of the fact that natives were tiptoeing around muslim minorities and downplaying their tradition in the hope of "not causing offense". This particular holiday was one that he found to be very nice and wholesome, even permitting his children to partake and also admitting that in their household, they put up a christmas tree every christmas in order to introduce his children to the traditions of the host country.
And then later, another muslim called in and completely agreed with the last one.
Are the silent majority of muslim immigrants getting woke?

@S K E L L Y Ivanthenotsoterrible I concur. Whenever you need to rape your sex slaves in a way approved by Allah, the quran has excellent advice
@S K E L L Y Ivanthenotsoterrible Sheep does not count
The welsh only learned about pleasuring themselves with sheep from the muslims
The welsh wanted to be progressive
@Vander Loonรฉy But you also have to revoke citizenship of all those "doctors without borders" types who go to africa and offer medical aid to the africans for free
@ManAnimal Slavs are easy to conquer? Russia would beg to disagree.
When did muslims last win a war against non-semites?
@S K E L L Y Ivanthenotsoterrible If you're not a virgin before marriage, then that's haram
Although I guess technically goats and sheep doesn't count as losing ones virginity
@S K E L L Y Ivanthenotsoterrible So can the mormons. No need to worship a sand-nigger god to marry multiple bitches at once.

@SimonTV So you want to make life harder for native blue collar workers then?
@SimonTV When you move to a different country for the sake of earning more money doing pretty much the same profession as you did in your home country, then you are by definition exploiting.
@SimonTV You are exploiting the differences in inflation levels for your own benefit, at the cost of native workers in the host country you move to doing the same job as you.
@SimonTV For example, a carpenter in Bangladesh is not going to make the same salary in Bangladesh as an English carpenter will in England.
On the other hand, the English carpenter has far higher living expenses compared to the Bangladeshi carpenter.
So if the Bangladeshi decides to "strike it rich" by working as a carpenter in England, then he's adding unecessary competition to the English carpenter, putting his job and income level at risk.
@Ares I want a cap on immigration. The cap should be determined by socioeconomic factors in my native country.
Basically, as long as there are involuntary unemployed or homeless people in my country, not a single immigrant should be allowed in until the job and housing situation has been fixed for the native citizens.
If the job and housing situation is taken care off for every native citizen, and there are still job opportunities and accomodations to spare, only then can immigrants be allowed in, on several vital conditions of course.
@SimonTV No, we don't need "foreign students" or foreign workers. Everyone claiming that are the people who only want labour cheaply instead of paying a decent, livable wage to native workers.
@Ares That would be the "vital conditions" part for me. Any immigrant allowed in will have a moratorium on equal rights to other citizens for a period of a few years. Basically, if they exhibit behaviours that go against the native social fabric, their residence permit can be revoked and they get kicked out of the country.
If you come to my country, you better love it and it's culture with all your heart. If you come here to criticize, then we don't need you.
@SimonTV There is no problem at all with international trade. But just because you permit trading with other countries, it doesn't mean you have to allow people from other countries to move in and set up shop in your own country.
There are exports and imports of goods after all.
@Marushia Dark Exactly. Which is why immigrant "housekeepers" or "gardeners" should not be allowed into the country at all. That way demand for the services of housekeepers and gardeners would go up, forcing the buyers of such services to pay more to the native people working as housekeepers and gardeners, making their wages livable.
Supply and demand.
@SimonTV That's not all that the foreigners do. What foreigners do is to also abuse social services for their own benefits. Many western countries do shit like paying employers with tax payers money to take on immigrant workers as a form of "integration". They also hand out free housing (at the tax payers expense) and monthly welfare cheques and crap like that.
Basically the corrupt, lefty governments are forcing it's own native population to pay the immigrants for their replacement in society.
@Marushia Dark Do you have the same attitude towards panda conservations efforts and other conservation of threatened species as well?
@Carsen So? Why are Pandas so inherently deserving of conservation to the point where some chinese scientist purposefully jerk off male pandas for the semen to impregnate female pandas with, and even showing them panda porn to get the pandas in the mood to mate... But white people can just go and get extinguished?
@Marushia Dark Only the fart sniffing, fence riding centrist minority hold the idiotic position that race is irrelevant.
@Carsen You're splitting hairs. There's a genetic distinctness involved in both cases.
And considering that white people are pretty much solely responsible for the civilized world we know and love today, it would be prudent to ensure that their genetic heritage survives instead of getting outbred by inferior races that haven't contributed much to civilized society besides gang rapes and tribal warfare.
@Carsen Ya know, just in case that there actually is some undiscovered, racial "magic sauce" involved in the development.
@Ares No, the races themselves aren't inferior. But their contribution to civilization sure is.
@Ares The kind of civilization you live in and reap the benefits of.
@Ares No, but they are purposefully trying to destroy it. Even though it hasn't merely helped white people, but have benefitted all of mankind.
@Retro Freedom is overrated. At least when offered to everyone.
@Ares They are afflicted with the evil of being irresponsible. They know that if they keep coming to white countries, it will cause those countries problems. They also know that simply "moving to another country" won't take care of problems in their own countries.
They do it because it's simply convenient to them. A path of less resistance.
They don't stick to virtues of taking personal responsibility for their own society. Instead, they expect the white man to take their responsibility for them.
Being irresponsible is evil.
