    It’s not post-apocalyptic when 1% own 99% of the wealth. It’s today.

    See Palestine where one side has advanced weapons and the other is just trying to get water.

      It’s not post-apocalyptic when 1% own 99% of the wealth.

      It’s post-apocalyptic when your municipal utilities are all shut down and the only potable water sources are surrounded by armed goons.

      See Palestine

      Palestinians are being mass murdered the old fashioned way. All the talk of Lavender AI and autonomous drones and the like obscures the far more banal reality of IDF troops walking through the center of towns and shooting anyone they see with their rifles.

        Squeezing the poor can continue without an apocalypse. The poor will be fighting robot guards to get to water while the bourgeoisie tut tut at the lazy homeless.

        You don’t need a apocalypse for a country or billionaire to deploy robots instead of men.
