You said you read the articles, but you don't seem to have understood them.
Myself and all other proponents of a basic income I know are not the ones in need of it.
Your suggestion to create art, song texts or paper planes is surely appreciated by those working unnecessary shitjobs to feed their families, or don't find a job at all. Why didn't they think of that themselves?
You downvoted his article? I have lost some of my respect for you.
Damnit. I just started to feel a bit bad for it, and now you come here and reinforce that :D
Okay, I still don't see the satirical (or any other) value in the post, but I guess it's not spam and I reacted too emotionally. Blame taken, vote removed. Silencing opposing views is never a solution, no matter how harsh they are.
Yeah, maybe. I was kind of on the fence about it, so I didn't vote up or down. I think @pharesim probably did the right thing because of the click bait picture. We can make that editorial decision, can't we?
Wow. I sure didn't expect this to get dropped. The age old American tradition of satire, dating back to Benjamin Franklin. Don't downvote just because you disagree with someone's argument. You're no better than Reddit.
I downvoted because as an author and proponent I felt offended personally. May not have been your intention, but then you should've cut short on insults a bit.
Your generalizations and overall ignorance regarding the ongoing discussions don't make this a valuable post imo, and I stand to the downvote.
I read every one of them. And if you bothered to read my post, I addressed their arguments as well. Brevity is an art form. Did you really want a 9-pager to re-hash those arguments again? In times past, satire has sometimes been one of the only available tools for critiquing government. You were offended? Spare me. I'm offended that so many people are suggesting giving away free money to those who aren't working for it. There are some topics on Reddit that could use a moderator like you. Even over there, I have never downvoted something just because I disagreed with the view.
