- rUsHeYaFuBu 2y agoYeah, that's when they're still economically dependent on there being masses of people to produce wealth for them. When the mass of people have no economic value to contribute to those in power, then what? Will they just feed and house those people?
- Havoc 2y ago> Yeah, that's when they're still economically dependent It goes deeper than that. Being surrounding by poor and suffering people sucks. Most people can’t block out that level of suffering and may even feel guilt. No doubt there are some clinical psychopaths out there to whom that doesn’t apply but I think it’s broadly true. It’s much easier to block out when people or poor but still sorta ok. So yes I think it’s going towards some sort of UBI. A low and grim UBI but UBI anyway
- rUsHeYaFuBu 2y agoI'm afraid I do not share your optimism. Homeless gathering tend to be moved to be out of sight. We (in the U.S.) happily do not care for those whom cannot afford healthcare. And those currently with their hands on the levers of society have already shown themselves to not act all that altruistically.
