this is all about smart people v. dim people, but I see certain trends that make me think there's a conflict on the horizon.

I see billionaires funding politicians who want to get rid of every social program. And I see the stores where I shop gradually doing away with cashiers. There's also increasing automation in all sorts of industries.

The proles are going to find themselves out of work, so what will they do? How will they get money to live on if we do away with social programs? I know they say this is paranoid thinking, but it seems to me that there is a culling on the way. How else will the wealthy and intelligent be able to survive when the population growth is out of control? They think that all of the poor are a dead weight on society that is dragging the human race down. They think that a culling is inevitable and desirable.
