You are literally extracting the political token of why universal basic income is helpful, and then claiming that it’s “not political”…?
Not sure when poor people being able to survive had become politics, but you do you

Oh my god, helping people! How political!

Helping people via the government is political.
Political isn’t some word for “government action that’s controversial.” It’s just the discussion of government actions.
It’s inherently political to discuss universal basic income and acting as if it isn’t, is intellectually dishonest.

When it involves terms like “universal basic income” it becomes political.
I just don’t like seeing left propaganda all over Lemmy. If you want to create community fine as I believe in free speech but don’t pollute other communities with your beliefs. I’ve noticed that Lemmy has gotten a less political overall but I still have noticed bad moderators for time to time.

That would have been one of my points too, how can you claim UBI is leftist when ideally you wouldn’t need it under a working left-wing system in the first place. I’m not very knowledgeable about politics, but “this is leftist propaganda” isn’t it, chief

Better living standards for everyone is “left propaganda?”

It unironically is.
Posts like the above are why I’m a communist now.

So, you support free speech… as long as you don’t see it. Feeling cognitive dissonance yet?
