Even Bernie sanders and AOC probably wouldn't be willing to introduce that sorta UBI. So we're talking a complete pipe dream. In the meantime... We rely on the economy to not collapse.

And@OH saying it wouldn't happen... It collapsed in 2008 when everything seemed to be going good just based on some bad investments. Even worse in 1929. You're telling me if we closed down most businesses and just waited for the virus to pass you don't think that could cause a similar type of depression?

I mean at that point shouldn't you just support acclerationism to destabilize the people holding their foot on your neck?

yeah cause no poor people suffered from the recession

Not like it was them that were losing the houses in the first place. Them who's pensions got gutted. Them who couldn't find work. Only rich people suffered. They suffered so much that the govt gave them massive severance packages.

The more monopolized they are the less targets need to be hit.

They lost those pensions because they refused to take up arms.

gimme one example where accelerationism ever worked

There's an old saying in programming... Garbage in, garbage out

If you let a society crumble to the point where you can seize power then the foundations on which you build your new society will be unfit for the utopian vision you have in mind. See: USSR, China, etc

I don't have any faith in that tanky **** but you're fully aware that the American system is a boot on your neck but you think you're gonna win the lottery and end up winning the class lottery? Bitch you're planning on get rich quick schemes like selling selling PS5s.

America lives off delusional fools like you to prop it up. You're gonna die poor.

Monopolization doesn't centralize, it disperses. It makes hitting the targets irrelevant because they're so numerous and widespread that effectively making an impact is unrealistic. Even if you chop off the head it just shapeshifts.

When did I ever say I thought I would get rich off PS5s? I said it's a way to boost my savings beyond basic interest.

You just have a vested interest in seeing the whole thing as an arbitrary lottery to justify never moving beyond BK. Truth is, you could make probably double what you make now while not working much harder... But you refuse to ever take a single chance.
