We I believe are seeing the infancy of the cull.
Oh crikey yes!

David J. Blacker is a philosopher who sums up the ‘endgame’ of neo-liberalism

He believes that because we live in a nation that heavily relies on technology and less and less on human labor, we will move more and more away from ‘exploitation’ towards ‘elimination’ where the mass of humanity isn’t needed anymore.

The theorist Joan Roberts once said; “The only thing worse than being exploited by capitalism is not being exploited by capitalism”. I didn’t really understand those words until recently.

Blacker predicts the ‘endgame’ will include a massive assault on public education because as more and more schools are privatized for profit (academies), when those schools cease to make profits, which they inevitably will, state schools will eventually just close their doors; But that won’t matter because if educated people are no longer needed, there’s no longer a need to educate them. People can be trained in certain skills and just become workers of the state and education will become ‘natural selection’.
By reducing education more and more (this is already happening in the US) we can streamline our workers and those workers become just a means to an end.

If the playing field doesn’t extrapolate from its present trends and if we don’t find an alternative blueprint/template for our future then ‘endgame’ will be societal collapse.
