I actually think universal basic income is a very flawed idea from a leftist perspective.
It is effectively a capitalist compromise that still puts all of the asset holders in immense positions of power. The only difference now is they effectively are governmentally enforced as those positions of power. It will make the wealth disparity exponentially worse.
The answer to our wealth disparity is to put power in the hands of the average person.
Well, one of the alternatives is what ID Software used to do, where they would sell the game for a period of time and then open source the code Once sales dropped off.
Super Tux Kart is actually great. Open Arena is just Quake 3 with original art. IMO Open Arena is criminally underrated

You don’t understand how laissez-faire capitalism and rainbow washing are intertwined. Really?

Nobody is asking to do no work. They’re just tired of doing work at the behest of the capitalist class. The problem is that work is both an adjective and a noun. Nobody likes the noun.
Work as capitalism defines it is alienating. I am very much against unfulfilling drudgery.
Adversaries to a movement will split hairs and redefine a movement anyways.
That’s all we are seeing here. Look at now they tried to frame Black Lived Matters, something quite clean cut.
I never said we dont need reforms. In fact the issue I have is Capitalism as a whole.
All UBI would do is give those who own the means of automation 100% power. What leverage would we have if not our labor?
Thats not at all to say what we have going on right now is not evil.
