  • Way, way less than you think. 2+2++1+3%. That is the entirety of food workers and food transportation, packaging, and sales, respectively, as a percentage of population for the united states, which produces twice the food needed by the population.

    Water workers? maybe 5%. and that’s a hard maybe because that includes all plumbers, not just infrastructure. Electricity? As long as we don’t go with coal and oil it’s an average of 1 worker per GW. admittedly line workers and electricians make up a decent chunk approaching 3 whole % of a population, but let’s be honest here, we’re fine on that front still.

    And that’s the great thing about economies of scale and automation and mechanization. It’s not the 1700s anymore. We don’t have to have 98% of the population in food production. We don’t have to waste productivity. We are, and this isn’t a joke, on average more than 10,000 times more productive as individuals and as a species than our ancestors.


  • You don’t need one worker per old person. The best care homes in the world still do 10-1. Most care homes get by with minimal incidents at 20-1. Heck you won’t even get investigated for neglect in the US until you’re at 30-1 or higher (depending on the state.)

    As someone who was a CNA for a short while – either the old people are doing fine, in which case they mostly take care of themselves with ‘reminders’ and ‘structure’ provided by the carers, or they’re REALLY not doing fine in which case they’re going to the hospital and statistically will not need constant care for much more than a few hours.

    Old people are shockingly self sufficient, almost like they’re people, even in terrible condition; one good nurse and a CNA can handle a 20-odd crowd from breakfast (including wiping) to settling in for bed (including wiping, so much wiping). Technically a nurse can do it alone if they have no overweight or PITA patients to oversee.


  • Oh I see the problem you’re having, you still think most jobs need doing.

    They don’t.

    The majority of jobs under a capitalist society are not needed to produce goods, nor distribute goods, nor consume goods.

    We could just eliminate health insurance. Entirely. Just completely remove the concept from our society. There are now 1.6 million people that need work. Median age of 32.

    Remove all insurance and we get up to 3 million. That’s about 5% of the working population.

    Insurance is only needed under capitalism. so let’s eliminate that.

    Now eliminate Marketers. Now all advertising. and so on. Eliminate middle management.

    Congrats. we keep going like this and we can easily get a quarter or more of the working population doing something useful.

    Now let’s bring in incentives for the chronically unemployed, the majority of which just can’t compete in capitalism, but still have both the skills and capability to flourish under alternative economic systems that don’t require 40-80 hour work weeks after begging for a job through the least efficient hiring process ever developed.

    The more you dig into the facts, the more you realize that not only do we not need most people working full time, we don’t need most people working.

    And with more free time that increases innovation, and without a capitalist structure preventing automation vis-a-vi complete societal collapse, congrats you now have incentives to reduce work even further to the minimum amount.

    This not only allows for depopulation, but actively encourages it, naturally, as despite having more free time and resources and less stress, people would only have kids if they wanted kids. Not because they need someone to take care of them in their old age, or other such coercive, frankly evil excuses to have kids.


  • Well the solution would be END FUCKING CAPITALISM ALREADY, but since none of the younger generations actually care to do so we get to enjoy a rest period on the environment, maybe enough of one to slow some of the later effects of climate change.

    We’re already dead as a species within 500 years. No matter what we do CO2 PPM is going to triple by that time and that will, at the very least, eliminate higher-order thinking and shrink brain development far below what is necessary to have more than a passing visage of human society.

    So maybe with fewer people we can skip the worst of the water wars (which started in 2014) and maybe even skip some of the worst of the food and migration wars (already starting, will escalate over the next five years as major producers like the us fail to produce excess thanks to shifting seasons and lack of workers).

    Honestly best case scenario is natural population decline.







  • The liberal brain is fascinating. North Korea A) isn’t a dictatorship, Kim Jong-un does not have a military role, B) Got nukes to prevent what is happening to Iran happening to them again. C) Wants reunification with its stolen land more than anything. Really current 5-10-15 year plans are to finally stabilize after the US killed 25% of their population during their invasion and current occupation, but long term the goal is always reunifcation – peaceful reunification – after the Amerisraeli empire inevitably falls or at least stops devoting resources to its occupation of the southern peninsula.





  • Because that’s unironically how these ‘people’ physically think.

    Psychopaths, BPD, sociopathy, whatever you want to call it in pop-psychology or actual psychology; these people physically cannot understand a non-transactional world or the fact that 99.9% of humanity do not think the way that they do.

    That’s why and how they get into positions of power, they literally optimized the world to work for them by doing things that actual human beings find impossible to follow through on. When normal humans try to copy their paths to success, it ends in suicide. Because actual human beings can’t do what these ‘people’ do so casually that it’s the same to them as any other possible action.

    Because these ‘people’ have no actual capability of understanding morality, but understand that they lack this feature essential to society, they have adapted their naturally transactional nature to this and work on systems of blackmail.

    They literally do not interact positively unless/until they share something that would ruin them. Hence the pedophile islands. Hence the yearly secret meetings like Deer island or the bilderberg meeting. Hence the pee tapes.

    By having blackmail or something similar, they can cooperate long enough to mutually benefit.

    Once you understand these ‘people’ it all makes sense, and it starts to make sense why they have been in power for so long and how they maintain their power. Because humans cannot actually comprehend their way of thinking. Humans aren’t capable of doing what they do, thankfully, but that makes us vulnerable.

    Only by working together, and recognizing what these ‘people’ are, can we overthrow them, murder their entire bloodlines, study their genes to understand what causes them to exist, eliminate their genes from the human genetic pool, and start to build a just society.


  • Because ‘Palestine Action’ provides aid, which means they have to work with Hamas… the legitimate government organization that would be the only possible route to deliver aid since Israel keeps explicitly targeting anyone else that tries to do anything in Gaza.

    So, for the Ameriisraeli empire, of which the UK is merely a pathetic subject to, that means Palestine Action is supporting Hamas. Which because they’ve declared Hamas a terrorist organization, gives them the legal, social, and ‘moral’ pretext to demonize and arrest anyone supporting ‘Palestine Action,’ the charity supporting the people of Gaza.

    It shouldn’t be controversial to support the victims of the worst and longest genocide in human history. But doing so from an artery of the empire doing the genocide is unsurprisingly illegal and controversial. And until it affects the citizens of said empire, if it ever does, there won’t be enough movement to actually change anything.

    The best we can hope for is the continued resistance to the empire from the other 6 billion people on the planet.
