Can I make a suggestion that doesn't involve violence... like maybe a UBI? Or is this the wrong crowd for that?
Most countries? No.
America? They have an eat-shit-and-die mentality. Basically, its non-rich-people's fault that the non-rich weren't born rich.
If you can get UBI implemented in a way that doesn't result in violence be my guest. But refusing to look at violence as an option is how the left has ended up in the state that its in. Weak and ineffective.
Fun fact: Conservatives and Libertarians consider taxation to be violence.
This video is worth watching if you are not familiar with the argument.

They're correct; just pedantic. Yes it's violence, but it's orders of magnitude less violent than many many other alternatives.
Sorry, you're not getting UBI without violence.
Getting violence either way
We’re the right crowd. But VERY against the bullshit that Andrew Yang was trying to push when he ran for President.
