im just larping out some frustration because i am heinously sick, so dont be mad [You must be logged in to view images.

It always comes back to how some people will still fuck up no matter how lucky. like, we know. Just try putting that one single thought down for a little while, maybe think about others, like people who aren't a locus for your hatred.
As one poster alluded to, UBI will not immediately fix the lives of ppl with oppositional defiant disorder, psychosis or parapsychosis, profound spiritual/ethical problems which are actively reinforced by the person out of a hatred or nihilism whose source seems boundless and infinite and unexplainable, fanatical adherence to poisonous ideology, or other deeply entrenched mental illnesses & fatal, lifelong character flaws. Nothing can help that person but God, in time, almost certainly with an awful lot of suffering. Perhaps even more suffering than can be had in one lifetime. No political measure will rescue those people and make them whole.
But imagine the same person growing up in a less tortured world. With parents, grandparents, or even great ancestors who were freer to associate with whom they chose, and less rigidly guided by their nearness to starvation. Surrounded by people who were less stressed, who didnt need to fret about anything more immediate than maybe getting sick or something. With the freedom to invest in themselves exactly as they intend, without having to stop for 10 years to have their brains chopped & screwed by torturous wage-slaving that drove them into the arms of drugs, or hurtful ideology, or an abusive partner who could offer more security. Who could take the time to experience the big things that can't be had without months or years free from grinding away, if their spiritual development so required.
it's a profoundly bigger question than what would flat-billed hat-wearing floridian oxy addicts do, oh I bet it would be extra gross. profoundly bigger |
Sans the personal defamation and attack on my character I pretty much agree even with the regancentric perspective you paint me with. I get it. It's not personal.
My pogroms wouldn't be abusive or forceful or punishing if I had the resources at my disposal to actually safely help people manage their death loops.
Just for shits and giggles tho.

Love u. Tho. And thanks for the light and enlightenment you bring. Plz don't tear me back down because you think I want to force ppl to get aids. Or use guns. I absolutely do not.
BTW I agree with neither Marx nor Reagan here. Now isn't the time for revolution or war, or complete submission to the state. Both of those are extreme examples. UBI sounds better.
People could practice better firearms safety though. Locks are reasonable. Not telling people where our guns are is smart too. I believe the majority are indeed capable of that with few exceptions, whom we'd restrict accordingly after they where proven otherwise incapable.
