@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?

How do I explain this... That meme is funny even though I don't think trans or jews are inherently bad, but I find it funny because I know the mindset of the people who made it?

Does that make sense at all?

<:thonk:551918421357494312>

or do I sound more mapletarded than usual

no solution is nessecary because for every job destroyed one is created

stop sending the jobs overseas

stop giving your shit away for free online

It's like laughing at stonetoss antisemitic comics even though you're not antisemetic

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.

it's like you're laughing at the stereotype but not the people

charge for the shit you do for free online now

stop being a commie

Lol Canuck

@King Canuck your maple retardation is a blur, the stages of which are indistinguishable from the other.

@King Canuck the people that made it might not believe in fact they probably don’t

that's the first stage of becoming a radical

n

I remember when I was in the same mindset

"Oh haha isn't this funny how they're kind of right but they're so racist, so silly lol"

@Seven Proxies that is a problem but not one of workers; it's a problem of markets

trading bots create trends that are indistiguishable from actual trends

the market is so horribly manipulated today

@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)

but that is a function of regulation

Eh I don’t think racist jokes made anyone a ethnic nationalist sorry dude I wish it worked that way

We aren’t being commies lol. We’re being a bit realistic about it. Some people will get caught in the muck and mire. And won’t be able to catch up. Because the predatory corporations dont want to automate to make the worker have an easier time but to remove the worker entirely.

@Seven Proxies, sure; the rise of china;

@Seven Proxies That's also a fair argument to make, increase in homelessness/suicides also..

more complicated than that

But yes, China...

ubermench, more complicated

SP you can't just name a career and then act like it's invalid cuz you don't think it's a "real" career

@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.

where china is concerned, the supppliers are no longer under the same umbrella as the consumers

Remember if you don’t bend over ass backwards to get balls deep no lube fucked in the ass to corporations, you’re a communist cuck

Professional blogger/youtuber has become a legitimate profession despite how silly it might seem

that is always bad and always destroys the bargaining power of workers

@ManAnimal really? Why are they trying to get self driving trucks then?

they havebeen 'trying' for decades
