I feel like you're quoting me, but not reading what I said. > > I think the left has also really shot themselves in the foot by talking about UBI as "helping struggling people get by" or accusing opposers of being unempathetic > I mean it's less an accusation of being unempathetic and more just an observation of the facts on the ground, isn't it? > > When you forcibly take money from someone, and use it to fund your project, it comes from a place of very selective empathy Are these "facts" actually grounded, or are you just doing a POV play? Like if I said, "everyone deserves chocolate ice cream", and you said "wow, how unempathetic, don't you care about everyone getting vanilla?" You talk about things not being scalable for society; well guess what, your version of empathy is one of them. Not everyone is going to care about the same causes as you, and attacking people for that will not convince them you actually care about them. What will is if you tell them why they're better off funding your pet project.
