What amazes me is how many people believe they will get universal basic income from the pedophile tech bro overlords who don’t pay taxes are actively gutting the meager safety net and worker protections we have. The cognitive dissonance is staggering

They all seem to just be lies dangled over everyone’s heads to keep them working into the grave.

There’s an argument that ubi will make you reliant on the state (which will be owned by private interest via the network state…)
Basically. The elites recreate society through who gets meaningful work and who gets an ubi and has to dance on TikTok selling products to the other group who has the money to buy.
Who gets meaningful work = the producers. Those who ship. The rest get to be beggars.

I guess I should say, those who own the means of production. Since it might seem like I believe the elites produce, which I don’t.

Welfare is a system of control. UBI would be used similarly.

I would worry more about what conditions come with that UBI. They can make you agree to anything.
