Political isn’t some word for “government action that’s controversial” or “government action that you don’t like.” 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.
“left propaganda” BAHAHAHA that’s like complaining about seeing people using science in their daily lives or talking about science and calling it science propoganda
being right-wing is inherently irrational and anti-science, there is no room to complain about “left propoganda” especially when UBI isn’t even inherently leftist, UBI still exists solely to prop up a broken capitalist system making it live on the right of the political spectrum. left propaganda would be advocating for socialism or something, this is just advocating for welfare capitalism (which has been proven to be far better for the populace than other forms of capitalism in use).
this post doesn’t even state an opinion on UBI though, so it’s weird that you took it as “propoganda”, or even “political”. it’s literally just proportions. it’s really hard to take someone who’s saying “the objective truth is just political propaganda” seriously.
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
Not sure when poor people being able to survive had become politics, but you do you
You are literally extracting the political token of why universal basic income is helpful, and then claiming that it’s “not political”…?
Oh my god, helping people! How political!
Helping people via the government is political.

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?
