A man that feels he has nothing to lose is a dangerous thing.
Billionaires with nothing to gain but money for moneys sake are far more dangerous, it’s just they are going to kill your loves ones with crushing debt or an opioid prescription not a bullet.
I mean as long as UBI isn’t spearheaded by a bunch of libertarians who think they are bravely forging a new forward towards creating a social safety net while ignoring the long history of social safety nets in different societies, and the entire left movement in the US that fought successfully for things like the 8 hour work day.
I think UBI can be great, but there are wayyyy to many libertarians into it that UBI to the point that the ruling class has a super clear route to catastrophically cutting social welfare programs across the board saying “we don’t need these if we have UBI!” and libertarians believing them because they don’t have any political or historical knowledge about how social welfare in a society is actually achieved through organization of worker power to leverage against a ruling class.
