I spoke to someone recently who believes poor people will be gradually killed off as the elites who control the robots won't have any use for them (the people).

I spoke to someone recently who believes poor people will be gradually killed off as the elites who control the robots won't have any use for them (the people). I don't share such an extreme view (yet), but I can't quite rule it out either.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoI’ve found many of the same people that talk/think like that are anti-gun and I have trouble rationalizing it. So, IDK, maybe there will be killer robot dogs, but I’m not going down without a fight.
- ornornor 3y agoYou don’t need guns to kill a class of people. Just low/no opportunities, drastically reduced income, etc will make the problem take care of itself: the class you’re targeting this way will slowly stop having/keeping children, live shorter lives, and fade away. Not saying this is what’s happening though, I don’t think it was ever great to be poor or have low opportunities, or that it’s more lethal now than it ever was.
- riku_iki 3y ago> or that it’s more lethal now than it ever was. it can get much more lethal now compared to the past 50 years in US.
- positr0n 3y ago> drastically reduced income, etc will make the problem take care of itself: the class you’re targeting this way will slowly stop having/keeping children This seems to be opposite of reality though. The poorer you are the more children you are likely to have. Both in the US and globally.
