Yeah it’s similar to gradual disempowerment except I’m arguing it will be a race rather than gradual. Whereas in the past genocide was negative ROI, as soon as we get mass joblessness, it’ll flip to positive ROI for the first time ever. And then like any good investment the incentives will turn it into a race especially with winner takes all.
Disempowerment in the limit is basically genocide so yeah that part is the same. I guess I’m arguing we’ll reach the limit though. All land and resources will be redirected and any food and water will go to exports or other applications. So people will basically be displaced and starve. And maybe if we’re enough of a hassle in terms mounting resistance, it might turn into an active genocide with drones or viruses
Good point about nukes. I imagine though the first nations to reach this level will all already be nuclear powers.
Thanks for the links!
