Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:10 PM Author: Very tactful athletic conference You know it's inevitable. Not just Right vs. Left, which is intractable at this point, but I'm thinking more proles violently revolting when technology eliminates 25% of the workforce or more (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2012766&forum_id=2most#21244995) |

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:14 PM Author: Beady-eyed home if we hit 25% UE revolt will happen, but even if it doesn't at this rate I predict the US becoming more and more like South/Central America, with the segregated rich living in enclaves protected by high walls and armed guards and favella-like slums below.

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:25 PM Author: Beady-eyed home demographics-wise it's likely too late; however, open borders should in theory be a good thing (social cohesion concerns aside). But as long as we keep enacting legislation to erect anti-competitive barriers to entry which effectively keep the poor poor, the increasing economic divide will persist. And government actors have no incentive to stop such profitable lawmaking. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2012766&forum_id=2most#21245114) |

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:32 PM Author: Irradiated dead old irish cottage I think demographics as a major factor in social cohesion is flame. While it is true that in the absence of anything else, similar nationality or even skin tone can keep people together, I would suggest that furthering integration of voluntary trade has far more of an impact rendering base demographics immaterial.

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:34 PM Author: Beady-eyed home i tend to agree but there is something to be said about the degree of homogeneity in any society where civic republican or socialist redistribution principles have been successful, relatively speaking. I think subconsciously people must feel it's ultimately an extension of the family unit, and its hard to do that when you don't share the same cultural, intellectual, or genetic background, however primitive that notion may be.

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:38 PM Author: Irradiated dead old irish cottage No doubt, when you see massive stifling of voluntary transactions, as you see in countries like America, Sweden, etc, the impact of demographics unfortunately floats to the top creating a disparity in the outcome of two identical socialistic policies enacting in two nations with very different levels of homogeneity.

Date: July 12th, 2026 11:03 PM Author: Fucking Fuckface There's a strong body of evidence that social stability ties to socioeconomics. More particularly, that a strong middle class with socioeconomic mobility is a powerful stabilizing force
It's not a surprise at all that we are becoming increasingly unstable and LatAm-like as our socioeconomic character has shifted into similarly top-heavy characteristics
If you want to reverse it, you've got to reintroduce mobility opportunities and destroy the crazy pinnacle of the pyramid that has totally distorted society |

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:29 PM Author: Irradiated dead old irish cottage The whole "advancements in technology will put the poor and stupid out of jobs" schtick has been around for 100+ years without a shred of evidence to support it. Those advancements lower the prices of their products and the poor and stupid, if they so choose, can maintain similar if not better positioned jobs. If you want to point to something that has the chance of causing a large and growing permanent underclass, as MAF has stated above, look to gov't interference.

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:33 PM Author: Very tactful athletic conference 3-D printing and industrial robotics are already starting to eradicate manufacturing jobs
autonomous cars will eventually eliminate the need for any delivery-related driving ever (everything from pizza to trucking)
robotics in general will essentially destroy the low-end service industry
What else do poor people do, bro? We really won't need them in 50 years, and that's an extremely generous number. |

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:39 PM Author: Irradiated dead old irish cottage Showing that the current jobs held by the poors and dumbs will be eliminated by tech advancement does not make sufficient in-roads in supporting your case. The exact same could have been said of pre-industrial revolution. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2012766&forum_id=2most#21245231) |

Date: August 2nd, 2012 9:45 PM Author: Irradiated dead old irish cottage Just like in the 1800s you would be asking me what jobs soon to be obsolete farmhands would have.
I can imagine a ton of things, but I would probably be wrong. Nobody could guess in 1870 that "fastfood" would be the quintessential job. |
