Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

UBI makes the rich richer, even with high taxes on the rich. Instead of government protecting the wealth of the rich through extortion power, the rich need to invest/work (or hire more) harder to collect back all of the tax money they spend. UBI saves money for society/taxpayers because war on (against???) poverty costs huge a huge bureaucracy expense, and while only essential role of governance, is a pointless distraction that would contribute to voter fatigue when all political capital is entrenched to make poverty a practical threat to oppress workers.
These are at least dysfunctional as US. Even more Russophobia and foreign (US) bootlicking control, with ultra cheap CIA/Atlanticist control of every political party allowed to run and all media. Democracy might as well be defined as how much a country supports genocidal US/Zionazi regime, because the correlation with "legitimate government" is absolute.
Liquid democracy, and perhaps even more, UBI makes truth and freedom more powerful for pluralist outcomes, because of the multitiude of personal freedom, including the freedom to promote social prosperity outcomes, without the corruption of money/media making truth/progress impossible. Constitution, and electoral theater, is absolutely worthless. There needs a military coup in order to evolve progress, because corrupt power politics ensures corrupt oppression.
Your genuinely absurd grasp to protect existing corruption and dysfunctional lack of any progress, saying the magic solution is better education and news fatigue, doesn't even have a path to more education, or more hate programing when the educated pick the less evil binary choice. You are simply disgusting for whatever dementia made you write this.
Ah... You're that kinda guy. Got it. Waste of time.
right. democracy's only right outcome is pursuing prosperity through war on Russia. More education, but don't learn about Hitler and Napoleon. We see what kinda guy you are.
