Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much.
Then, when clean energy became free, things started to move quickly. Transportation dropped dramatically in price. It made no sense for us to own cars anymore, because we could call a driverless vehicle or a flying car for longer journeys within minutes. We started transporting ourselves in a much more organized and coordinated way when public transport became easier, quicker and more convenient than the car.
In our city we don't pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.
Shopping? I can't really remember what that is. For most of us, it has been turned into choosing things to use. Sometimes I find this fun, and sometimes I just want the algorithm to do it for me. It knows my taste better than I do by now.
My biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city. Those we lost on the way. Those who decided that it became too much, all this technology. Those who felt obsolete and useless when robots and AI took over big parts of our jobs. Those who got upset with the political system and turned against it. They live different kind of lives outside of the city. Some have formed little self-supplying communities. Others just stayed in the empty and abandoned houses in small 19th century villages.
Once in awhile I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. No where I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me.
They want a society where, if you dissent from it, they check a box somewhere and you can no longer have the ability to cook yourself dinner because you don't even own the bowls and utensils you would use to prepare it, let alone the house you would cook it in or the vehicle you would take to purchase the ingredients. And all you have is a "hope" that the mass surveillance apparatus isn't used against you.
Become the people who got upset and turned against. Make these socialists the outcasts. Make them have to live "outside" of civilized society. Destroy any community they create by force. Any politician who passes even the tiniest of laws that increase federal powers? Deport. Out out out, enact your stupid policies in venezuela.
Oh, and nobody is safe from this just because they agree with 99.9% of this country's principles. Big government people of all stripes, fascist, syndicalist, theocrat, democrat, even RINO scum, all need to be deported. Want big government? Go to China, retards.
"Small government" isn't gonna save you. If you plan on keeping people individual and divided then they're gonna get picked off by a more centralized power. People need organization and cooperation, just not ran by people who hate life itself.
Remember when hypercentralized borderline-stalinist U.S. Government was able to remove the relatively minuscule and decentralized network of black marketeers?
Centralized powers struggle with decentral foes. Also, I do not want to keep people "Individual and divided", I want to keep individual people convivially together by voluntary interaction. If they do not come together, then it is better it stay that way because forcing people together who do not wish to be, creates conflict. It is practically the definition of conflict
Also, like I said, go to china if you like the government so much.
