The Campaign To Get Every American Free Money, Every Year

merbs writes: Supporters of a basic income have finally organized a proper political movement. Basic Income Action is, according to co-founder Dan O'Sullivan, "the first national organization educating and organizing the public to support a basic income. "He tells me that "Our goal is to educate and organize people to take action to win a basic income here in the U.S." This 2013 Economist article does a good job of summarizing the pro and con viewpoints on the (ahem) basic idea.

Re:I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Bro... if there were anywhere to go, I'd already be gone. You fucking retards are giving people no where else to go.

The west is getting taken over by various flavors of people like you and where else can a man go? To the totalitarian, theocratic. and oligarchic countries? We have no where else to go. You've succeeded in fucking up the entire planet and now you're busy fucking up one of the last places in the world where someone could be just left alone.

As to reading the fucking article... I didn't need to. The synopsis actually told me all I needed to know. But on the off chance that I was wrong, when you said that... I read it just to make sure. And that's 3 minutes I'm never getting back. So fuck you for that. The fucking article was exactly what I thought it was and my post addressed it correctly the first time.

As to being frightened... My fear is a sign of your strength or wisdom? A monkey playing with a A-Bombs is supposed to make me comfortable?

What I find distressing about people like you is that you're not actually ill meaning typically... you're just too stupid and ignorant to realize what you're fucking with or the ultimate consequences of your idiotic ideology.

As I said, I'm happy to offer the olive branch of letting you fuck up some isolated corner of the country without taking the rest of the country down the rat hole with you. But you won't tolerate that... and that fact alone reveals your fear more than mine. If you were confident you'd accept that and believe that the example of your success would convince the rest of the nation to follow you.

Given that your previous experiments were cities like what has become of Detroit... I think you know damn well at some level... perhaps subconsciously that you're a poison merchant. Or at the very least... you know that if you competed head to head without political games you'd get skull fucked by the disparity between the two systems.

I'll give you the last word... I have no patience to go back and forth with AC shitheads. Say whatever you like. I'm gone.
