Do we really want pettiness in here?

2018-09-12 17:45:40 UTC

That is literally what you are doing

2018-09-12 17:45:50 UTC

Get a room and hatefuck already

2018-09-12 17:46:00 UTC

You are hoping that the startup works in the end and that your investment of time will payoff in the long run

2018-09-12 17:46:35 UTC

When you people say "get a job" just say what you really mean

2018-09-12 17:46:57 UTC

I think everyone that is for a universal basic income should have to fund it first. Then, once they are at the level of a universal basic income recipient, we can take them serious.

2018-09-12 17:46:58 UTC

Someone got that clip from tropic thunder?

2018-09-12 17:47:04 UTC

What do you mean you people

2018-09-12 17:47:14 UTC

Say "join our rat race"

2018-09-12 17:47:15 UTC

'trickle down economics does not work'

2018-09-12 17:47:22 UTC

Nobody calls it that.

2018-09-12 17:47:26 UTC

...

2018-09-12 17:47:36 UTC

Okay but since there are people that call it that

2018-09-12 17:47:40 UTC

Don't you wanna delete your post?

2018-09-12 17:47:43 UTC

I feel like you do now.

2018-09-12 17:47:49 UTC

Knowing that plenty of people have used that term

2018-09-12 17:47:50 UTC

Who calls it that?

2018-09-12 17:47:56 UTC

That's a pejorative

2018-09-12 17:48:06 UTC

I did not expect to be asked that today, so I don't have a source ready to tell you.

2018-09-12 17:48:11 UTC

All I have is "Plenty"

2018-09-12 17:48:13 UTC

Holy shit.

2018-09-12 17:48:24 UTC

It was used endlessly during the bailout.

2018-09-12 17:48:36 UTC

And no, not just as a pejorative.

2018-09-12 17:48:40 UTC

It was coined during Reagans tenure

2018-09-12 17:48:44 UTC

You think SJW was always a pejorative too?

2018-09-12 17:48:45 UTC

No.

2018-09-12 17:48:49 UTC

Feminists made that up themselves.

2018-09-12 17:48:54 UTC

They LIKED IT.

2018-09-12 17:48:59 UTC

Trickle down economics was the same way.

2018-09-12 17:49:13 UTC

It's become a joke NOW.

2018-09-12 17:49:33 UTC

Don't be simple.

2018-09-12 17:51:03 UTC

The main issue with the video is that he argues all basic ideas and brings in numbers at the start but never expands upon anything he says.

2018-09-12 17:51:18 UTC

"UBI has increased entrepenuer ship everywhere its been tried"

2018-09-12 17:51:31 UTC

Citation needed

2018-09-12 17:51:39 UTC

"UBI hasnt increased inflation at all but if it does thats a good thing because you need inflation"

2018-09-12 17:52:07 UTC

No countries, programs or years mentioned at all

2018-09-12 17:52:34 UTC

I'd be impressed with both of you if you gave him any ground at all.

2018-09-12 17:52:43 UTC

On **anything** he says.

2018-09-12 17:52:59 UTC

Well, we don't take things at face value.

2018-09-12 17:53:05 UTC

He's saying so many different things. Are ALL of them retarded? 9_9

2018-09-12 17:53:08 UTC

We prefer facts and evidence

2018-09-12 17:53:21 UTC

He also misrepresents factors that contribute to inflation

2018-09-12 17:53:55 UTC

Im willing to pass over facts in philosophical areas or rights questions

2018-09-12 17:54:05 UTC

Okay I have a page of complaints about the video. It's poorly argued rhetoric that grossly misunderstands the problems it describes

2018-09-12 17:54:51 UTC

Beeman! You can't argue against it!

2018-09-12 17:54:55 UTC

But in the history of humanity literally every econmic system has been tried at one point or another. Data from these countries should be readily avilable even if its integrity is questionable

2018-09-12 17:54:56 UTC

Rye.

2018-09-12 17:54:57 UTC

He's british

2018-09-12 17:55:02 UTC

Rye.

2018-09-12 17:55:08 UTC

The thing you're doing.

2018-09-12 17:55:18 UTC

How many feminists have you seen do shit like that?

2018-09-12 17:55:23 UTC

Because personally I've seen a lot.

2018-09-12 17:55:36 UTC

That dogpile tactic.

2018-09-12 17:55:45 UTC

Hes mocking what you're doing scribble

2018-09-12 17:55:57 UTC

Like a feminist would, I agree.

2018-09-12 17:56:07 UTC

Again, I've argued with many.

2018-09-12 17:56:11 UTC

A cowardly lot.

2018-09-12 17:56:34 UTC

He might as well be going "oh honey" "sweetie" to me as well.

2018-09-12 17:56:59 UTC

So if hes imitating your actions and you think hes acting like a feminist....

2018-09-12 17:57:09 UTC

Ah that response wasn't very good.

2018-09-12 17:57:12 UTC

Try again.

2018-09-12 17:57:55 UTC

Ive tried to argue the points and apparently you have nothing to say to against my stances

2018-09-12 17:58:07 UTC

I'm not interested.

2018-09-12 17:58:22 UTC

You waived your position earlier. Before anyone commented, I said watch the ENTIRE THING

2018-09-12 17:58:24 UTC

And you, didn't.

2018-09-12 17:58:36 UTC

You're not loyal to the conditions.

2018-09-12 17:58:38 UTC

Ah right, cant have wrong think in your discussion

2018-09-12 17:58:51 UTC

Why should I speak with you properly? You don't meet my standards.

2018-09-12 17:59:03 UTC

I stated very clearly what I'd speak to.

2018-09-12 17:59:12 UTC

In such simple english too.

2018-09-12 17:59:14 UTC

Oh no you dont have to thats the best part about this

2018-09-12 17:59:16 UTC

lolwow... pewdiepie still hasnt got his copyright strike removed from when he played despecito on his guitar

2018-09-12 17:59:22 UTC

I finished the video

2018-09-12 17:59:37 UTC

It's a shame you only finished the video after waiving.

2018-09-12 17:59:41 UTC

Funny how he ends with 'I'm right and you're dumb'. Seems familiar

2018-09-12 17:59:43 UTC

Because you shat in the punchbowl.

2018-09-12 17:59:48 UTC

I'm not going to talk with you about it.

2018-09-12 17:59:56 UTC

For the same reasons I just gave blackhawk.

2018-09-12 17:59:59 UTC

I can understand that

2018-09-12 18:00:21 UTC

Afterall if someone were able to refute the points after watching for less than 6 minutes your reasons would look pretty dumb

2018-09-12 18:00:30 UTC

Because you can't handle disagreement?

2018-09-12 18:00:40 UTC

Because I broke your rules?

2018-09-12 18:00:41 UTC

Because I set standards at the beginning, and you violated them.

2018-09-12 18:00:57 UTC

You can go back and read what I posted under the link.

2018-09-12 18:01:01 UTC

No one can deny I said all that shit.

2018-09-12 18:01:04 UTC

**Fuck you.**

2018-09-12 18:01:12 UTC

So because I disagree fundamentally on the role of government and oppose the 'great society'

2018-09-12 18:01:19 UTC

So argue with someone else.

2018-09-12 18:01:27 UTC

1) cost of living is not 10k, welfare is more than cost of living
2) not including kids doesn't make any sense, since they still cost money and you're knocking out the systems governments use to incentivize childrearing
3) there's no reason to believe fraud would not still occur
4) rent is not the primary method of real estate cash accumulation
5) ignores the reasons for high healthcare cost in the US
6) military meme https://www.thebalance.com/u-s-military-budget-components-challenges-growth-3306320
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/57/U.S._Federal_Spending.png/800px-U.S._Federal_Spending.png

2018-09-12 18:01:59 UTC

Why would you include kids?

2018-09-12 18:02:14 UTC

Because kids are citizens with a cost of living

2018-09-12 18:02:15 UTC

```3) there's no reason to believe fraud would not still occur```
???
Alright?

2018-09-12 18:02:26 UTC

Did you know the reason there are carvings on the sides of coins?

2018-09-12 18:02:37 UTC

He made some valid points as to why it's debatably better than current social programs

2018-09-12 18:02:42 UTC

Because people used to whittle away at them and making counterfeit coins out of the real material.

2018-09-12 18:02:52 UTC

But those current social programs are a mess for other reasons.

2018-09-12 18:03:07 UTC

>we save money by not having to deal with bureaucracy due to fraud, making sure people get their cash
>no reasons why UBI avoids this

2018-09-12 18:03:33 UTC

Well, it's universal.

2018-09-12 18:03:36 UTC

The inflation and trickle down thing is a whole nother list

2018-09-12 18:03:43 UTC

Appapappa

2018-09-12 18:03:44 UTC

Stop

2018-09-12 18:03:54 UTC

It's universal. How can you fraud it? You're a person.

2018-09-12 18:04:07 UTC

"My dead grandmother isn't dead lol"

2018-09-12 18:04:08 UTC

Presumably it compacts the numerous programs into one streamlined social program

2018-09-12 18:04:14 UTC

People already do that shit

2018-09-12 18:04:20 UTC

Collect cheques from dead people

2018-09-12 18:04:22 UTC

That's why it would 'save money'

2018-09-12 18:04:32 UTC

Welfare has so many other conditions.

2018-09-12 18:04:43 UTC

It's really nosey why you qualify or why you don't.

2018-09-12 18:04:51 UTC

If you're divorced you make more, for example.

2018-09-12 18:04:55 UTC

Yes, but there's a difference between "save money on" and "doesn't need"

2018-09-12 18:05:01 UTC

UBI doesn't have that level of minutiae.

2018-09-12 18:05:13 UTC

Are you denying that these things are important.

2018-09-12 18:05:14 UTC

Really.

2018-09-12 18:05:17 UTC

You still need admin, and a lot of it

2018-09-12 18:05:22 UTC

Not as much, right?

2018-09-12 18:05:35 UTC

Admit this or I'm putting you in the same camp as Blackhawk and Rye.

2018-09-12 18:05:40 UTC

Possibly, depends on how its handled

2018-09-12 18:05:42 UTC

Lol

2018-09-12 18:05:45 UTC

"Possibly"

2018-09-12 18:05:47 UTC

Fuck you.

2018-09-12 18:05:55 UTC

I'll take that as a dishonorable "Yes, you're right"

2018-09-12 18:06:00 UTC

Agree or gulag comrade

2018-09-12 18:06:02 UTC

I've seen people fuck up simpler concepts

2018-09-12 18:06:12 UTC

Okay, so I'd ask them not to fuck up what's on the tin

2018-09-12 18:06:20 UTC

"What if you buy chocolate, AND IT'S POOP?!"

2018-09-12 18:06:21 UTC

Never underestimate the bureaucracy

2018-09-12 18:06:29 UTC

I'd ask them not to give me poop, and hope for the best.

2018-09-12 18:06:47 UTC

I'd go through the proper channels "This guy is selling poop and not chocolate, can we fix this"

2018-09-12 18:07:06 UTC

>I hope nobody abuses the power I give them over me, but I won't think about how that could happen

2018-09-12 18:07:16 UTC

?

2018-09-12 18:07:18 UTC

I think what we saying is, if theres an org capable of handling such a task. It might not be so... well, bad

2018-09-12 18:07:28 UTC

Well not only capable but trustworthy

2018-09-12 18:07:31 UTC

You're just sorta gainsaying non-specifically.

2018-09-12 18:07:43 UTC

The only reason you're doing this, is because there's this mob energy in here, against me.

2018-09-12 18:07:54 UTC

If this were you and I in private, you wouldn't be trying this.

2018-09-12 18:07:57 UTC

**Be honest.**

2018-09-12 18:08:04 UTC

No lol. I'll do this in DMs too if you want

2018-09-12 18:08:10 UTC

"Government could fuck it up!"

2018-09-12 18:08:13 UTC

OKAY?

2018-09-12 18:08:35 UTC

Scrib! This is My damned point

2018-09-12 18:08:36 UTC

I COULD TRIP ON A STEP AND BREAK MY SOUL

2018-09-12 18:08:37 UTC

~~could~~ probably will

2018-09-12 18:08:47 UTC

Could happen!

2018-09-12 18:08:49 UTC

I didn't need to watch the whole fucking video for this argument

2018-09-12 18:09:11 UTC

I did and my opinion never changed

2018-09-12 18:09:14 UTC

Right. You just needed to watch the whole video to have my attention.

2018-09-12 18:09:25 UTC

๐Ÿ‘‹

2018-09-12 18:09:36 UTC

Thats ok rye im still open for discussion

2018-09-12 18:09:41 UTC

And this whole 'agree or you just aren't smart' attitude is straight up authoritarian.

2018-09-12 18:09:46 UTC

๐Ÿ‘‹

2018-09-12 18:09:51 UTC

That's nice.

2018-09-12 18:09:58 UTC

Follow the parameters next time, eh?

2018-09-12 18:10:07 UTC

Fuck your authority

2018-09-12 18:10:07 UTC

You child.

2018-09-12 18:10:15 UTC

Get a job

2018-09-12 18:10:17 UTC

And I quote. ```You child.```

2018-09-12 18:10:18 UTC

Hey comrade Rye you want to discuss communism in gulag?

2018-09-12 18:11:14 UTC

Marx was perpetually unemployed too...

2018-09-12 18:11:45 UTC

Keep trying to formulate your workarounds for work.

2018-09-12 18:11:55 UTC

๐Ÿ˜„

2018-09-12 18:12:11 UTC

It's work done for free.

2018-09-12 18:12:13 UTC

It's nobler than yours.

2018-09-12 18:12:20 UTC

๐Ÿ–•

2018-09-12 18:12:23 UTC

Good night, I hope you guys kiss and make up when I get back up. If.. I get back up

2018-09-12 18:12:37 UTC

You don't mean "Get a job" when you say it

2018-09-12 18:12:42 UTC

Jesus, worst keto flu

2018-09-12 18:12:45 UTC

You mean "Get paid more!!"

2018-09-12 18:12:49 UTC

keto flu?

2018-09-12 18:13:00 UTC

Yes.

2018-09-12 18:13:02 UTC

is that related to the keto diet?

2018-09-12 18:13:04 UTC

diet thing, nothing to worry about.

2018-09-12 18:13:13 UTC

I mean do work that actually carries value.

2018-09-12 18:13:18 UTC

It does.

2018-09-12 18:13:20 UTC

Second time, and it isnt going down as easy as the first time

2018-09-12 18:13:22 UTC

Dopey cunt.

2018-09-12 18:13:23 UTC

And claim that value as your own.

2018-09-12 18:13:25 UTC

ugh

2018-09-12 18:13:30 UTC

gl with that

2018-09-12 18:13:32 UTC

So basically, Rye is a cuck.

2018-09-12 18:13:34 UTC

A corporatist cuck.

2018-09-12 18:13:43 UTC

thanks. Luck with what ever you are dealing with

2018-09-12 18:13:43 UTC

Who only knows value because he was charged for it.

2018-09-12 18:13:56 UTC

Own your labor. If you're not obtaining paycheck, good sign what your labor is worth.

2018-09-12 18:14:08 UTC

Like i said rye hes making an investment

2018-09-12 18:14:20 UTC

Using his time instead of his money

2018-09-12 18:14:30 UTC

So am I. I'm building a media company, slowly but surely.

2018-09-12 18:14:32 UTC

Rye is the sort that falls for designer clothing brands.

2018-09-12 18:14:39 UTC

Perfectly fine thing to do and plenty of people get by on it

2018-09-12 18:14:49 UTC

Lol

2018-09-12 18:14:59 UTC

I avoid designer labels like the plague.

2018-09-12 18:15:05 UTC

Doesn't matter.

2018-09-12 18:15:11 UTC

You fall for scams precisely like it.

2018-09-12 18:15:16 UTC

You're only aware of **that one.**

2018-09-12 18:15:25 UTC

And I know it because of the way you're talking to me.

2018-09-12 18:15:31 UTC

You don't even know what I do.

2018-09-12 18:15:33 UTC

I mean I do pay taxes...

2018-09-12 18:15:39 UTC

So you're right there.

2018-09-12 18:15:41 UTC

You just assume, because i'm not making money doing it at the moment, it's not real work.

2018-09-12 18:15:42 UTC

Now.

2018-09-12 18:15:47 UTC

That first bit

2018-09-12 18:15:50 UTC

"Not knowing"

2018-09-12 18:15:53 UTC

That's all I'd need really.

2018-09-12 18:15:59 UTC

You fall for scams.

2018-09-12 18:16:21 UTC

The issue with the basic core of the argument is that this may result in a tax increase

2018-09-12 18:16:21 UTC

Yeah why would I pay taxes if I'm not making money I can hoard?

2018-09-12 18:16:43 UTC

I'm not taking money from anyone, so what's your issue?

2018-09-12 18:16:46 UTC

So you're an anti-capitalist.

2018-09-12 18:16:48 UTC

Thus paying taxes would provide a stronger basis to argue from since you would be putting your own assets on the line

2018-09-12 18:16:49 UTC

No stupid.

2018-09-12 18:16:55 UTC

I'm going to quote it again.

2018-09-12 18:16:59 UTC

```Yeah why would I pay taxes if I'm not making money I can hoard?
I'm not taking money from anyone, so what's your issue?```

2018-09-12 18:17:12 UTC

None of the green paper is flowing in my direction.

2018-09-12 18:17:18 UTC

There should be ZERO ISSUE

2018-09-12 18:17:23 UTC

I am not a vacuum for it.

2018-09-12 18:17:32 UTC

That's what an illegal immigrant is, that I am not. Savvy?

2018-09-12 18:17:44 UTC

Or are you still angry for no reason?

2018-09-12 18:17:52 UTC

"I WANNA BE MAD!! >A<" - Rye

2018-09-12 18:17:59 UTC

The UBI comes from the government. The government takes money from other people. You want a UBI which may result in a tax increase. Ergo you want to tax me more thus taking money from me that I would otherwise use.

2018-09-12 18:18:14 UTC

Nigga.

2018-09-12 18:18:17 UTC

Ignore the tax increase

2018-09-12 18:18:23 UTC

Automation is a job abbatoir.

2018-09-12 18:18:28 UTC

It's irrelevant. That argument was sound.

Plus you cant tax the the UBI, so taxes would have to come from post UBI income.

Subtract the people who are already on social security from working and those under 18

2018-09-12 18:20:13 UTC

And I agree that automation is a labor nightmare.

2018-09-12 18:20:26 UTC

Agreeing to that puts you on a hook you won't soon be let off.

2018-09-12 18:20:37 UTC

A hook called the truth which elbows its way into every argument we're having.

2018-09-12 18:20:39 UTC

But workarounds are not going to fix it.

2018-09-12 18:20:56 UTC

Automation is HUGE and a permanent fixture of every conversation like this.

2018-09-12 18:21:01 UTC

I've had this exact debate, with far more civility, with someone else.

2018-09-12 18:21:03 UTC

There's no putting it behind us.

2018-09-12 18:21:13 UTC

And my positions haven't changed.

2018-09-12 18:21:28 UTC

Oh I guess you expect me to care that you had it before.

2018-09-12 18:21:36 UTC

Well lemme give it a try.

2018-09-12 18:21:36 UTC

Rude

2018-09-12 18:21:38 UTC

Rye. I care.

2018-09-12 18:21:42 UTC

I care a lot.

2018-09-12 18:21:46 UTC

So much.

2018-09-12 18:22:14 UTC

Ubi is pointless because automation will crash the dollar to begin with.

2018-09-12 18:22:23 UTC

So let's kill ourselves now.

2018-09-12 18:22:28 UTC

That is a larger worry isnt it

2018-09-12 18:22:32 UTC

No point living in a future with so much suffering.

2018-09-12 18:22:35 UTC

2018-09-12 18:22:46 UTC

I don't want to be a survivor of mad max future.

2018-09-12 18:22:52 UTC

There's nothing to look forward to.

2018-09-12 18:23:00 UTC

2018-09-12 18:23:06 UTC

I don't particular see the concern over automation

2018-09-12 18:23:08 UTC

Automation will be the 21st century Pandora's box
