minus-squareSippy CuplinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 years agoSomething is not propaganda because you disagree with it. I also make it clear in literally my first sentence that people living off the system without working is fine, but that most people probably won’t. I’m not sure you actually read the post you’re responding to.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•2 years agoI responded to the text of your comment, and my concern about your opening sentence is not its lacking truth, as much as the litany of untruthful claims you later made in contradiction.

Even the opening is suspect, due to the suggestion of people wanting to “live off the system”. Most want simply that their lives be not dominated by systems that are abstract, absurd, or inhuman. Even if some cope differently than you, perhaps consider not judging so narrowly.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish8•edit-22 years agoI have heard many different opinions about UBI. I have never heard any suggestion that it would make corporations less greedy. Perhaps your objection is directed at a strawman.
