This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's UBI, and no, UBI is not a real socialist plan. It keeps the rest of us poor with little possibility of social mobility.

Hahahahhaha they will give you an unlock code for an euthanasia capsule if you're lucky they don't imprison you for homelessness where you can have a job doing the last things that can't be automated. Look what they're doing to the "undesired" in usa; everyone on earth knows about gaza and the outcry is minimal, once you're poor, and you will be poor, nobody will cry when you dissappear.

They'll give us a means tested barely functional bunch of shit they call UBI once the food riots start. It will help almost nobody and run at 60+% admin overhead.

They will tell us this is efficient.

They'll give it to everyone because nobody will be around to buy their shit otherwise.

Don't mistake this for a positive outcome.

I truly believe they'd rather let the whole country collapse than give us universal healthcare or UBI.

If it ever happens it will happen as a fear response to massive widespread violence.

All these corps and billionaires. They can change their money to a different currency with a phone call. They can move money on that same call. They can just run away to a stable country when it all goes to hell here.

UBI is not a real socialist plan

UBI is not a socialist plan at all. UBI is what happens when you:

  • accept the capitalist worldview that interfering with the market and the price system leads to distortions that ruin everything

but

  • think that people deserve to exist even when they are not useful to you
