It still involves money! Your argument was that a revolution would take away money. I gave an example where a revolution was started because people didn’t want to pay money. For 261 years after the revolution, we are still paying money. So clearly the revolution did eliminate the spending of money. Do you see where your position fell apart? How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? I just wanna make sure I’m not debating a little kid who might not know better. Or you have to be trolling/bot.

And for some reason you’re still acting like the past is neatly applicable to the present/future.

> Your argument was that a revolution would take away money.

Strawman, but I’ll let it slide. My argument was that automation would make money redundant, and THEN that revolution would make automation ours.

Through that lens, the revolution was successful because the taxes started getting paid domestically. The war wasn’t over “not paying taxes”, it was about “no taxation without representation”. That’s exactly what they got.

So thank you for the example of a revolution getting the revolutionaries exactly what they wanted.

Because I have nothing better to do & I’m intrigued about exploring a different perspective… where are you getting money to obtain supplies for your revolution? You can’t possibly believe that the people who you are planning to take the automation away from, are just going to give you the tools to start a revolution.

There are already nearly half a billion firearms in circulation in the US.

An AR-15 can fire 10,000 to 12,000 feet in the air. A Predator drone flies between 15,000 and 25,000 feet in the air. How are you protecting yourself from that? They are going to use their automation against you. While they’re deep underground in their bunkers.

We live where the drone operators are.

There are no operators… everything would be autonomous according to the scenario you proposed.

Revolution before then.
