Russians Marvel At American Bolsheviks And Give Fair Warning To The Consequences

Worth a read and a well worded warning.

It kind of speaks to why I've said, for the last couple of years, I feel like we're living in the movie, "Dr. Zhivago", but without the love triangle. You think people would learn from history...

Not sure what your meaning by the "nightmare" but I definately get the gist of the article. More and more people think they are just entitled to have everything without really putting forth any effort. Once people see they don't have to work for anything then soon everybody stops actually working and then, where does the money come from?

There will always be plenty of people who feel like Teddy did. They, and the machines, will get all the work done that needs doing.

An old right wing tactic used to scare the white working class that lazy colored folk, welfare trash and democrats all want freebies which will be paid for by the white working class.

Just to clarify, I think that people of multiple races would do the same thing.

Agree with the quote totally!

But

Who are the machines?

Oh man, another of these "well written" articles that makes my head hurt trying to understand the point. I won't try to parse it because when I wrote a carefully considered response to the one you posted about the rise of Naziism, I got nothing back. I will ask you though, what you think the point of this is. In two sentences, what is the author trying to say?

Robots for the shop, AI for 'white collar' work.

I also have been trying to understand. I will take a stab at it.

I believe it is an attempt to intimidate so that one would be fearful to discuss openly the rising inequality.

However, there is a coming storm of contradictions: the rise of robots leading to the disappearance of human workers and massive rewards going to the .01% but with no UBI in place. Those who promote UBI will be cast as Bolsheviks. Watch it Andrew Yang!
