People who disregard other people's property and cause vast destruction because of their ideology are never right. I have no respect for them. There are non-destructive ways to bring your message across in this situation.
A society with automation will always be richer than one without it. The fight against automation is really baffling me. People are actively fighting against progress. Automation eliminates boring stupid jobs and replaces them with great, interesting ones. I am extremely happy to live in a country that embraces science & technology.
- ntsplnkv2 9y agoWhy should anyone care about their society if they reap no benefit from it?
- Kenji 9y agoCan you also justify murder with that or only destruction of property?
- ntsplnkv2 9y agoMany times revolutions have been murderous for that very reason. I think many Americans agree with the bloodshed of the American revolution.
- Qwertious 9y agoYou absolutely can - the basic argument for jobs is essentially "you can't reap the gains of society, if you aren't willing to contribute to it [in the form of doing your job]" - the underpinning argument being that there are jobs you can do. If there aren't any (paid) jobs, then you're stuck in a situation where people are taking away your rights to the gains of society, for their own benefit. At which point, you need to fix the system - either make it so that jobs aren't necessary to get the gains (i.e. the money), or create "jobs" that aren't strictly necessary, or, if you cannot fix the system, rip it down with violent revolution and make sure the replacement system isn't broken in the same way as the predecessor. Basically, it's outrage against a double-abstraction suckerpunch - either there's too much work or there's not enough work, you can't have both.
