What's not to love about a monthly check that barely allows you to make ends meet, simultaneously allowing the rich to halt giving even lip service to their lessers? Bringing my government cheese to my bombed out, fracked National Park that's being destroyed by climate change sure sure SOUNDS cool but then again, i dunno

It's not that I'm letting good be the enemy of perfect, more that completely ceding the power of people to deal with capital seems like a bad long term plan. I like the militant, union-style thing more than I like the "please, please take care of me Daddy Capitalist" thing

Not a Step posted:What's not to love about absolutely nothing that doesn't allow you to make ends meet, simultaneously nothing of the rich who never gave even lip service to their lessers to begin with? I'd rather see what people do when they have "absolutely nothing". A revolution would create a better result than begging capitalists to take care of us (and of course, why the gently caress would they when they could just machine gun us instead like they did in the past) Like, do you ever wonder why labor ever got anything? It's because we impeded the ability of capitalists to earn money, not because we just said "pleeeeeease" really loudly. And luckily, genuine threat of guillotines is the only thing that would ever bring about a UBI, so it sounds like we're on the same page.
