    Not inherently

    until you look around and see that automation eliminates large swaths of the workforce exactly 100% of the time…. over multiple centuries and counting.

    Don’t worry. We’ll soon face the consequences of the dystopian hellscape you’re so tirelessly advocating for.

      First of all, that’s obviously false. Second of all, go look at unemployment rates in USSR. You literally have no clue regarding the subject you’re attempting to debate here. However, even your whole premise is insane. We shouldn’t strive to do work for the sake of work. Automating toil away so people can spend their lives in a self directed fashion is unarguably a good thing. You’re just arguing for having what David Graeber called bullshit jobs here.

            Let me guess. Here are your other views from the ML starter pack:

            • North Korea is fucking awesome and in no way a dictatorship
            • The USSR was 100% free of corruption. Puppies and candy were given to anyone and everyone. It was a literal utopia the likes of which the world has never seen since.
            • China is amazing and in no way hyper-controlling of their people.
            • chains are actually freedom when the collective holds the keys
            • executing liberals and anarchists and others that oppose communism is only right and natural
