Good video if you have the time to watch it, which explains a lot of the different fears around AI rather than just the standard “they’ll take our jobs” angle

Europe without migration will be a bunch of old people because people haven’t been having babies for 50 years. So would be a population of retirees and pensioners (with the pension being by far and away the biggest benefit given out by almost all western governments and also by far and away the biggest users of healthcare) who can’t be supported by a working minority who all their wages get taxed into pension and healthcare systems for 70 year olds. And because the majority of the population are seniors, they’ll all vote to keep that system because working age people will not have enough votes to change it. Don’t know if it’s still true with defence spending increase, but certainly until a few years ago, our government spent more on its pension benefits system already than it did on defence, housing and education combined. I think what you’re missing is a lot of western culture will die out regardless because no one is having children so we’re going to end up with exponential shrinkage of the population once we reach the threshold for it. See the ghost towns and cultural traditions dying out in rural Japan for example. Be interesting to see how Japan and South Korea look in 50 years as seriously ageing populations, exceedingly low birth rates for generations and with very little migration too.

Disagree with this. I think our FPTP system designed for a 2 party system which has split to a 5 party system in England means it’s more likely that a party gets a majority and therefore 100% of the power with 22% of the votes and more likely a “protest party” gets 100% of the power power. A 5-way split actually means winning by 3% of the total votes means you’re more likely to get a majority than a 3-way split

Pro tip: claim you’re actually right wing/cetre-right, but you’re just being the only one who’s being reasonable and balanced by defending “the other side”. That’s how it works these days.
