Ah, so not only do you resort to childish insults but you're incapable to actually answer a simple yes or no question. I wonder why you're afraid to answer, but that's your business.

Since you obviously don't respect me, as evident from the above points, I don't really see a point in trying to defend my position. You wouldn't listen to anything I had to say, any facts or studies you'd dismiss as a scam, and you won't even bother trying to get to understand my position enough to argue against it.

You've already decided that, because I had even a slightly different position than you, not even against you just different, that you're smarter, more hard working, and better than me and therefore I deserve, earned even, insults and dismissal.

So this long since hasn't been an argument in good faith.

Which is really disappointing, I would've actually enjoyed having a discussion on the validity of a ubi in a socialist society with someone, but that someone clearly wasn't going to be you, and never was going to be.

The worst part I feel is how much damage you're doing to the position of universal healthcare, housing, education and food, by being so venomous. Do your position and your movement a favor and please, don't engage with people about the subject. You're doing the same the the WBC does for Christianity, and giving everyone on our side a bad name.

Accurately accusing you of using logical fallacies = childish insults? Maybe try not using a logical fallacy as a rebuttal for once?

answer a simple yes or no question. I wonder why you're afraid to answer, but that's your business.

Because I disagree with the inherent premise of the question, and the reasoning that answering it would bring any substance to the dispute.

Since you obviously don't respect me, as evident from the above points, I don't really see a point in trying to defend my position.

Lol, convenient timing...... You obviously don't respect me either, I just don't try to virtue signal my way out of an argument.

You wouldn't listen to anything I had to say, any facts or studies you'd dismiss as a scam

You haven't given any facts or studies, or even logical explanations that support your opinion. You have just made the same easily disputed claims over and over again without addressing my rebuttals to them.

You've already decided that, because I had even a slightly different position than you, not even against you just different, that you're smarter, more hard working, and better than me and therefore I deserve, earned even, insults and dismissal.

And now we're pityfishing.... You know, this might have an iota of weight behind it if you didn't accuse me of wanting to murder homeless people because I have a slightly different position than yours.

I have been asking you to justify your position on this the whole time....

The worst part I feel is how much damage you're doing to the position of universal healthcare, housing, education and food, by being so venomous.

Trying to explain basic economic realities to a moron.....so venomous!

You know I didn't actually start insulting you until you accused me of being an asshole for trying to explain the flaws in your claim.

giving everyone on our side a bad name.

I don't think for a second you actually care about anyone but yourself. No one who seriously wants to enact socialism cares about UBI. It is literally a ploy billionaires have been lobbying for about a decade.
