We've seen in the K-shaped economy of late a new kind of consumerism. The top 10% of consumers accounted for half of all spending in the second quarter of 2025. Capitalism will happily chug along while leaving a massive number of people desperately poor. There's a reason the AI CEOs have all become obsessed with the concept of a "permanent underclass." If a UBI is ever "given" it will be just enough to keep the underclass from rising up and killing the owner class and not one cent more. | ||

> There's a reason the AI CEOs have all become obsessed with the concept of a "permanent underclass. it's not for nothin that they've been slipping Zachariah 13:8 into discussions that show up in places like 8chan or ssethtzeentech videos "Declares the LORD: 'in all the land, two-thirds will be cut off and perish, but one-third will be left alive' " The marketing and agit-prop types would call this "priming" or "conditioning" | ||
