So your take is: let’s throw all those other studies from other countries in the bin then, because it clearly just comes down to ‘mindset’. Wat

Except studies consistently show UBI counterintuitively incentivizes those on it to work: ‘Finland is the only country to have carried out a nationwide, randomised control trial of UBI. The evaluation found that people receiving basic income were more likely to be in work than those in the control group.’

Also, having a secure financial footing is remarkably effective at alleviating mental health issues and promoting overall wellbeing, leading to more people in the workforce and more people contributing to the economy (ideally, this would benefit everyone but, you know, Neoliberalism…).

Bit of a knee jerk reaction, my man.

Rust in peace, Bryan.

Try not calling them ‘wage cucks’ and you may get shat on less.

Lol. “Being exploited builds character”

Nah, man. This is likely Khorne for the old battle bugle

Broken Window Theory is a load of bollocks: https://cssh.northeastern.edu/sccj/2019/05/21/researchers-debunk-broken-windows-theory-after-35-years/

This is the thing, exactly! It’s called The Banality of Evil. When Adolf Eichmann was being tried in Nuremberg for war crimes he committed in Auschwitz, it was widely remarked on about his lack of ‘evilness’. The dude seemed like a mild mannered accountant, and by all means was, but he helped enact one of the most heinous and calculated acts of genocide in all of history.

Monsters are easy to point at and shudder, monstrous humanity is far harder to accept let alone vilify. This piece of shit CEO is firmly in the Eichmann camp of evil and we should fucking celebrate he’s dead.

That’s brilliantly told.

I think the problem here is the concurrent effects of climate change. The US couldn’t have picked a worse time to move from flirting with facism to full-on marrying it.

You can deal with one crisis if you’re coordinated enough but the chaos that’s already occurring with the climate - and is set to become exponentially worse - doesn’t give me much hope for a harmonious conclusion to this. Obviously, I hope I’m wrong and you’re right.

If nothing else, I’m enjoying the cathartic rage sarcasm cropping up everywhere on this site.

There’s also the problem that it’s just not particularly funny. Jokes that punch down on minorities are always shit. Even ‘ironically’ they’re usually shit. It’s uncreative, it’s the lowest common denominator and it also tells me the people thigh-slapping their way through the comedian’s set are idiots at best, straight-up racist at worst. Given the context this set took place in, I think we can safely assume the latter here.

Fuck off.

That makes grim sense, actually. I hadn’t bothered to check the bots sources in the slightest, so thank you both for taking the time to reply.

Why is this bot always blasted with down votes, lol
