I already answered that question. Read the Bible if you want to know.

Circular reasoning bruh.

... what did you expect from circular questioning?

Going full postmodernist on me doesn't help your argument that morality is objective.

I'm going full postmodernist? This really isn't a genuine discussion anymore.

I never understood why I had to pledge to the flag every morning. Did my allegiance expire over night?

@H3llbender I don't really get the difference between NIT and UBI. That said, all conservatives I've talked over the internet call me a commie for supporting NIT/UBI... even though Finnish ancaps (reluctantly) support NIT/UBI because why it's not go-die-in-the-gutter welfare model, it's the closes to that that there could be.

Still too socialist for Tim Pool.

I guess it's the idea of paying even the people unwilling to work that grinds the gears the most, despite existing welfare systems also paying to the unwilling, as long as you play the system correctly and pretend to be willing. UBI is openly OK with unwilling to work getting paid, which causes moral outrage.

@whiic NIT is friedman's version of UBI, i.e. All NITs are UBIs but not all UBIs are NITs.

Also you need to find a higher quality of conservative

Leftists propose UBIs as solutions to automation, Libertarians propose NITs as solutions to welfare

Usually leftwingers oppose UBI, though because a non-automated income redestribution is more "caring" and has more "heart". Because UBI cannot intervene if you use your money on drugs, etc. Basically, leftwingers want a nanny state where the state pays directly to the housing company, directly to the grocery store, etc. via means like food stamps.

Basically, left wing thinks that bureaucracy is love.

UBI will only increase automation.

If min wage is a price floor then a NIT would be a subsidy is the idea really.

The ultimate goal is UBI/Star Trek society, I think we’re just pushing it too quickly.

Like generations too soon, and resources way too soon.

And the (low quality, emotions before facts type) conservative on the other hand opposes NIT/UBI because "you shouldn't have a welfare system at all". And they ignore that there **already is one**, and UBI would be to **replace** the ineffective old system.

But they treat it in vacuum: because UBI is not full ancap mode, they reject it. They only accept total abandonment of welfare.

The welfare system kills personal ambition, IMO. There’s not enough wealth (in any measure) to make everyone comfortable and also nurture ambition.

Ambition is natural.

Hence, the current, ineffective bureaucracy hell prevails to see another day, because the hard ancap let-them-die-in-gutter is unelectable agenda to run on. And bureaucracy wins with the help of ancaps.

Not that any libertarian worth their salt is going to propose a UBI provide a comfortable middle class existence. Usually you'd see them require subletting rent at the least.

Welfare is also clearly unconstitutional in the states.

General welfare clause as it’s interpreted disputes that.

@H3llbender Yeah. I think a proper UBI would be like 600-700 euros/month giving Finnish living costs. It would not be lavish living.

Just a piece of paper, according to Hamilton.

Pieces of paper matter.

No, people think General Welfare means a bunch of stuff it doesn't. The meaning is clearly laid out in the constitution.

Hint: current welfare via bureaucracy gives 1000+ eur/month but only to the gamers who know how to play the system.

Which is why you've seen libertarians utterly shut up about UBI once it got to leftist minds.

The issues that are always run into are how things have been interpreted. I think you have to start from here and move forward, not try to reargue settled arguments.

Libertarians don't support UBI by definition.

Libertarians think they are the only libertarian in the room

Libertarianism is perfect, except we’ve already got systems that work that conflict with their beliefs.

Really it is split 50-50 between minarchists and anarchists

Arguing with a libertarian is usually a nightmare. Almost as bad as arguing with a communist.
