Everyone should find that statement absolutely chilling. They are prepared to kill anyone that tries to prevent them from getting their way. Those are the stakes. The courts won’t help you

“The takeover will be bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

There’s your choice, America.

It is!

I hope so. I dug up this old video I watched ages ago that articulates really well why they’re a bad idea.

I imagine a post-scarcity world where all basic needs are met for everyone on the planet without question, and with minimal need for human labour, and that more as technical overseers. People would be free to work as much or as little as they want at whatever they want for their own betterment, or the betterment of the world, or do nothing at all if they want, or whatever. Is that too much to ask?

And the sooner the better.

No. I don’t want them to starve when they get replaced by robots, which is the current plan, apparently.

Don’t even get me started on the wild and wonderful design ‘features’ on modern cars. Fucking hell, they want you to do anything but drive the thing and pay attention to the road.

Can you edit that to ‘braking’, and I’ll delete this comment, please? It’s breaking my brain. :)

And anyone that drives cars ever, apparently.

Technological unemployment is only going to get worse without a plan to support the people being replaced by automation. They can’t just ‘get another job’. As long as the benefits of this stuff only goes to shareholders, it can fuck off.

They’ll be vandalised almost immediately.

It means they’re not indicating for their lane changes or turns.

Some of the new Kias have the rear indicators in the bumper. Why are they hiding them?

Or just have it come on whenever you lift off the accelerator. I like how some cars flash the brake lights under hard braking as well. That should be more standard.

Now imagine everyone having one. Yeah, nah.

Pretend to suddenly avoid a pothole.

The combined indicator/brake light thing you guys do is fucking stupid, so there’s a precedent.

100% agree, but it’s amazing how quickly some people forget their education once they get out on the road, especially after a few years accumulating bad habits. How about less reliance on cars in the first place?
