What does this have to do with capitalism?
Capitalists are freaking out over the declining birthrate because anyone with a brainstem knows "AI" and robots won't replace human workers for a long time, and the machine is hungry.
It seems like its just ethno-nationalists freaking out. Capitalists have been tackling this problem with immigration for a long time.
McDonalds threatened to replace their employees with machines, and when they tried it cost them millions....
"15 an hour? Meet your replacement!" was nothing but a scare tactic, if machines were viable they'd already be in use.
I imagine they will finally succeed in having robots running the operations, but there will be a warehouse full of underpaid wage slaves controlling the robots from somewhere in India
Lol. What? Who? Which "capitalists"?
I swear, Lemmy is sometimes just as bad as the far right talking about "antifa".
can’t wait for the socialists to be out on the streets when other peoples money runs out
Please open a book. Remember: it only counts if it contains more sentences than pictures.

Famously socialist japan
Oh the hilarity! Someone on a French instance stepping in. 😁
Maybe this is more relatable to you:

And you are the loudest protestors as well! Thank you for very likely personally proving my point (IRL as well!)
Go touch grass and do not reply.
If it becomes a thing capitalists could try to implement systems that make more brain dead women than would exist naturally, so that there are more babies to become workers. Look at for profit prisons and how we have more people in prison than any other country. If they want something they can pay to get it
But this came out of a public university in Colombia. Nobody ever suggested doing it for profit.
More babies = more future workers = $$$
Same logic for communism too.
Organ donation already exist. Doctors tried to kill someone that was still alive to get their organs.
I mean why save someone if they could just let them die so they can harvest the organs. Same thing with this.
