See the problem isn't that robots might replace my job, it's that we live in a system where I need to work to eat.
You don't have to work to eat. Get a 12-gauge, a .22 rifle and some fishing gear. Oh, lots of seeds as well. Go find a homesteading program.
Oh! You meant you want all the benefits of society without contributing! Misunderstood there for a moment.
What nonsense are you going on about? I pay my taxes. I contribute to society.
Btw the local wildlife population CANT support all of us. Animals and fish will go extinct and people will starve to death and die you absolute goofball.
Oh and hunting and fishing on land our laws keep the wildlife population stable in WOULD be living off society while contributing nothing. Societies hunting and licensing laws are the only reason there's anything left to hunt or fish at all.
Enjoy jerking yourself off all day.
Edit: even native Americans nearly hunted all animals to extinction until European disease devastated their population. Native Americans had much smaller population and were far far less greedy with their hunting than your average billybob12-gauge. It's not a sustainable way to live.
In what world is farming not work?
No, that would be what the rich want (and get)
Dude, how the fuck is one supposed to contribute to society when you're competing with a robot!? You're really missing the point.
Moreover, most countries I know have hunting and fishing laws.
