I already came to the conclusion, long ago, that once enough workers are replaced with automation, and the unemployment rate starts to reach the point where the engine fuelling capitalism — workers earning money to pay for goods and services — shuts down, fascism would take root in most countries and large swathes of humanity would be mass murdered to cull the population down to a more sustainable level.

There are not enough resources, at our current or foreseeable level of technology, to support even 3 billion people living a developed world lifestyle and rate of consumption. People are too greedy, selfish, and ignorant to accept they must consume less, so they’ll just blame “others” for their problems, the same way Pepe complain about traffic when THEY ARE traffic. Also, climate change and imminent ecological collapse may mean that far less than a billion people can be supported by the end of the century.
