I don't imagine a future where we only eat McDonald's and shop at IKEA. I want hand made stuff. It's higher quality. I want to be entertained when I eat out, not served by a robot.

I want the robot myself. McDonalds and IKEA are good example of low skill labour. Where does one work when there is no demand for low skill labour? Not everyone has to work.

You should come visit Japan. One of the most automated places on earth. Also among the lowest unemployment rate on earth. Maybe I'll do a walk-through video of Tokyo station for you.

Japan is also an ethno-state, isn't it?

Here's one of the most interesting videos I've ever seen. The techniques to Balkanize/weaken first world countries are all the same!

Yeah Japanese blood will get you automatic citizenship here. It's fascinating how they have almost the exact same identity politics issues as any other developed county though.

Oh yeah, I shouldn't imply that automation has to cause unemployment. I just think that if it does we shouldn't require those people to be employed.
