UBI without some sort of partner program to de-commodity the things humans need to live (food, shelter, healthcare) and eventually things we need to live a decent life (education, recreation) would likely lead to a situation like in The Expanse where the “basic income” is truly basic, just enough to live off ramen noodle and rent a crap studio. What jobs there were would be hotly competed over since everyone wants more to life than microwaved noodles and playing the first Halo on a 20 year old Xbox.

This may sound a bit weird, but it’s a random thought I’ve had, does anyone ever feel like memes like this almost make us leftists come off a bit too idealistic and romantic?
Lemme clarify where I’m coming from here. As I get older, I’m in mg 30s now, I’ve come to the realization a lot of people don’t want the life of a bohemian artist who’s traveling constantly and does six different types of creative hobby. A lot of people want a kinda boring stable life with a house, a job that’s rewarding but not too physically or mentally taxing, enough time off to take a nice vacation once or twice a year, and the resources to keep them and their family comfortable. I guess I say this cuz this is increasingly how I feel as I get older. Add this to the fact that I don’t think FALGSC is coming anytime soon, if Mecha Lenin pulled off the perfect revolution today we’d still probably have a few generation of people needing to pull 9-5s before we got to the point we could all be space traveling poets like in Star Trek so maybe don’t oversell what we can deliver to people alive now? Focus on shit an actual socialist government could achieve in our lifetimes, like public housing, more vacation time, free healthcare?

Take a selfie of yourself and the entire state of Rhode Island in the background. You may need a small box or a selfie stick or something tho.

Nothing in your posting history is relevant to this site. So maybe fuck off.
Libs are definitely getting a tingle in their cocks over the idea of China collapsing. That’s why they love those Balkanization maps.
Sure, they’re both loud, immature, hateful
Real civility cuck moment
You’re here too asshole
Little weird actively wishing for the most populated country in the world and the second largest economy in the world to collapse. Hey yankee numb nuts, that’s gonna have global repercussions, that will likely affect the US as bad as anyone else. Who do you think makes all your shit? Really trying to cut off your nose to spite your face here.
bad faith one liners
I know seriously, we HexBearer have been dealing with so many Libs dropping thought terminating cliques. “MUH SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE!” “LE HOLODMOROR!”
It’s fucking exhausting.
Anyone with half a brain can see what’s going on.
they have a history of having extremely thin skin and doing exactly that.
Are you sure you’re not talking about another country?
No it’s when there’s mysteriously dozens of comments just magically showing up that are contrary to the vastly popular opinion on only one contentious issue, that serve the best interests of an entity with the time, resources to try to sway public opinion
The thick palpable fucking irony…
No you just brought the
with you
Honestly wtf was up with old time adventure people? They’d like drag a whole fucking house with them, “Oh dear I can’t spend a week in Antarctica without a claw foot bathtub!”
