@annoniem@ohai.social Robots have an extremely high cost because of the logistics of building them and keeping them running.
Supply lines are fragile, and the force that can maintain them is the one who will win.
For instance, my city didn’t have the resources to keep up with repairing all the street lights the methheads would raid for metal. I think the city eventually caught up fixing all the lights once the methheads realized aluminum isn’t worth anything.

@annoniem@ohai.social Now, imagine large groups of people with nothing better to do, and how much trouble they would cause. They have the time to win a war of attrition, and this would essential become siege warfare. Next. How are they going to pay for these robots and maintain these robots? What do they have to trade or barter with? Power is derived from the people, and people who forget this are making a fatal mistake.
