I say this as a conservative myself, in a couple years the ideals of conservatism will end and be replaced with something close to socialism and communism. It is inevitable and the reason for the end of conservatism is extremely ironic. Capitalism, in a few years capitalism will kill conservatism. This is the part where I tell you how and why, in one word “robots”. More specifically automation, in a few years from now robots will replace most jobs belonging to blue collar workers and it will take out a lot of white collar worker jobs as well. Let me paint a picture for you, imagine a farm in Kansas. Once the sun rises and activates the light sensors a drone crop duster will fly out and perfectly spray the fields, drone tractors roll out and tend the field in perfect pattern, devices harvest the crops and drop them at another location for robots to perfectly stack and box in perfect amounts, they perfectly fill these boxes into a self-driving container truck that has pressure plates set to a perfect weight that tells it when to move these goods to another factory, that is now awaiting the shipment of goods, oh and this factory is also entirely made up of robots as well….you get the idea. This isn’t some lofty dream, I have seen plans and designs for these things already, the engineering department at my school is already training people to design these places like they already exist. Demand is high, these robots are cheaper and better than human workers by a long shot. They don’t get tired and they don’t make mistakes. The worst part is we have reached the point where it will be robots making and servicing robots. Many people will be completely out of a job in a couple years as they get replaced by robots, they can’t remain poor so the government must adjust for it. They must live on welfare and the government will have to devalue and subsidize many goods and services. Yes prices will plummet but with a zero income its all the same regardless. The one thing I can think of whenever I discuss this topic is how one of the many factors that played into the fall of Rome was the fact that they had too many slaves, they couldn’t adjust fast enough. Its over, eventually the only viable jobs will not only be slowly replaced but will see oversaturation to the point where the wages will drop incredibly, luxury items and frivolous materialistic bullshit will be on the rise so the suicide rate will probably go up as well as many will not be able to attain this due to their inherent nature. All of this will be controlled by entertainment which will see a huge spike as people will be bored out of their mind, but as such it will also become more formulaic and robots will replace that too, http://www.businessinsider.com/8-awesome-robots-that-can-play-music-better-than-most-humans-2016-2 In a couple years humans will be more dependable on factors they have no true control over than ever, the government will be bigger and more powerful than ever seen before and nothing can stop this.
