This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A growing number of americans don't read newspapers. They get their news from online influencers. The right dominates the online ecosystem. (lemmy.world)

Well, for one thing, if you support Israel's genocide, you can't really also say you support universal income without torturing the definition of universal. For another: yes, I do think whether you support the modern holocaust is many times more definitional than where you think the government should give you UBI.

And finally, UBI is only considered to be communism by people who have no idea what communism is. No actual communist thinks that.
