China reversed its one-child policy and people there are having even fewer kids.
Latin America isn’t at the replacement rate of 2 children per couple any more. You know, the continent with all those Catholics? They aren’t having kids.
Only Africa now is above the replacement rate. Likely not for long.
Human population will peak way sooner than expected.
What will Western billionaires do when the flow of poor brown people stops? They’re dependent on them for cheap labour and to deflect blame onto.
But why though? They will have robots by that time. The end game is just a small group of wealthy people living in a climate-isolated environment surrounded by a sea of automatons.
Sure you can. The but robots would not have any issue with that. And the cruelty is the point. Slave owners in the South didn’t simply own slaves because it was economically a great system. By most accounts slave ownership the way it was done in America was far more costly than just hiring people at slave wages (which is still pretty bad but when splitting hairs…)
No, they owned slaves because lording it over a person you can definitively (in your own mind) label as inferior makes you feel good.

They will bring back the slave trade. This time using latinos.

Robots cost a lot of money to make and can’t look up in awe at your astounding wealth.
And you can’t be cruel to robots.
