After robots replace all people doing monotonous jobs and there simply aren't enough jobs for everyone to be employed, should some form of universal basic income be instated?

Yes, when that happens.

protip that's never

No

This is why I am getting a master's in robotic engineering. Stay ahead of the curve

Lump of labour fallacy

No.

Standard of "base level job" increases.

This wouldn't be an issue if higher education's finances weren't fucked beyond measure.

But they are, currently. So it is an issue, currently.

neetbux/disability is already a UBI in practice in many western countries

labour force participation rates are near all-time highs in the UK and NZ, so i don't think the world is running out of jobs anyway

also this

I'm a russian bot so I don't really care what you skinfags do

Working two 5 hours shifts a week isn't enough to survive off mate.

Yes, in the form of lead. Doled out by hunter/killer robots.

No. We should kill all the non-whites.

If we'd stopped farming them we woudln't even need to worry about that.

>automation takes over jobs
>yay! More profit for us!
>millions of people out of work
>have access to weapons
>SEIZE THE MEANS
Do crony capitalists not realize what they're doing? One way or another they're fucked, they'll collapse the economy by instituting ultra welfare, or get WALLED by a communist uprising.

No dummy we’ll have to get new jobs and then the robots will take those the only job that will be left for us is to all feminize ourselves and be whores primarily catering to the robots who have a fetish for dominating the creatures that created them.

>trusting the machine spirit to not betray humanity

I've been installing robots and PLC driven devices for years now. Sucks to be you though when Darwinism sets in.

its weird how "nationalists" hate their fellow citizens and would gladly let them starve to death

volume measures of underemployment are low in the UK and NZ as well, so it's not a matter of insufficient hours

things are different in australia, but that's because labor voters destroyed the industrial relations system and are now looking for someone to blame

No.
Eugenics are the future. The population will be culled and the living people will be selected. It will be a world where all the manual jobs are done by robots. Food will be completely free, not because muh universal gommunism, but because there will be robots working farms with their solar batteries making food that is so cheap that it costs nothing.
With technology and strict population control you could have completely free food made by robots and housing maintained by robots everywhere.
Once you have food and a roof over your head, there really isn't much to worry about.

What is the solution?

Fuck no it will be time to clean up the shit.

The bar must always be raised and those who fall under it don't deserve to live.

"fellow citizens" will starve anyway in their communistic system.

I think what would be more likely is a move to use "A.I" in more bureaucratic and legal systems, slowly at first. They would of course be susceptible to influence but more so than the meat machines are now.

Step 1 is to prevent all immigration and to deport all immigrants. After all, since robots will create huge unemployment in the future, it would be a bad thing to import more workers today and hence just create more future unemployment. Maybe if we deport enough, we can even prevent this future huge unemployment or at least dampen it - every person deported or denied immigration is most likely one person who won't be in the future unemployment line.

It really stuns me how someone can both want immigration and think robots will create mass unemployment in the future, I don't understand how their minds function. Surely you would want to minimize the size of the future unemployed hordes of people there's no need for.

>Food will be completely free, not because muh universal gommunism, but because there will be robots working farms with their solar batteries making food that is so cheap that it costs nothing.

Nice dvbs comrade, but what you described is precisely muh universal gommunism.

A system where abundance makes prices drop so much they are ignorable. In other words not communism, since you need abundance.

>The workers would participate
>Oh wait, no worker class
>Shit. If history is any indication...

Useless eaters are generally...removed. Even in communism.

>From each according to his ability...

robots will make everyone communist
hehe

>Marx loved materialism and consumerism. He loved industrialization and hated rural life. He wanted all of humanity to be able to live in the material abundance of the bourgeoisie. For this reason, he liked capitalism; it had eliminated the perceived uselessness of the classes of the Middle Ages, created a government only for managing bourgeoisie affairs, and produced vast amounts of capital for more people. Only with capitalism is communism possible, for only capitalism produced enough material abundance to satisfy everyone’s needs and wants.

>Communism is capitalism controlled by the masses, putting an end to class exploitation. Once the proletariat controlled all aspects of capitalism, Marx believed humanity would be free.

>Capitalism and Marxism aren’t so diametrically opposed after all: Their end goal is to produce huge amounts of capital, in the name of materialism and consumerism, by means of industrialization.

Communism is state capitalism controlled by a small group of dictators. You've never been to eastern Europe have you?

And fascism is a dead Mussolini hung up by his ankles, your point?

The unemployed will join the army and start a new colonial era. The earth will be split between the white empire and the yellow empire. With nothing in between.

The point is, is that communistic fascism died off in 1992. There is no succesfull communistic system, nor does it have a future. You are waisting time on a dead meme.

Maybe we should stop importing millions of third worlders and let the population decline for a bit

they'll just import a deadly virus from africa, nobody keeps pet cows

Sure, the problem is just that this absurd fantasy dreamland libertarian stateless "final stage" of communism -- is preceded by every previous step of communism - which incolves creating a gigantic all-powerful totalitarian sociopath state.

>DURR WE WILL CREATE A MEGA-TOTALITARIAN ULTRASTATE CONTROLLING EVERYTHING WITH POWER OVER ALL TO ENACT OUR WILL

>BUT THE FINAL STEP OF THE PLAN IS THAT THE STATE VOLUNTARILY ABOLISHES ITSELF

>LOOK WE AREN'T TOTALITARIAN AT ALL, LOOK AT THE LIBERAL FINAL STEP OF OUR PLAN! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE PREVIOUS STEPS!

Breivik acted well, every dead leftist is an insectoid psychopath whose processing circuits have lost power.

Except indians

Excellent idea. The left has been pushing this ideology for decades.

No. Instead we’re going to have a uthenasia lottery. If you win, you’re immediately shot until the world population level is sustainable.

OY VEY!
