I know my opinion is unpopular because who doesn't like 'free money'...yet is it free? Our very last strands of freedom may be at stake. If we give someone the power to feed us, we give them the power to starve us.
I present a few solutions in my video, and I'd like to hear more possible solutions from you!

I say we all stop working full stop. Crash the entire economy for our oppressors. Everyone needs to stop living in fear. Full stop. Without slaves there can be no slave owners. There is nothing they can do to us if we all just stay home and stop buying into this shit. They need us way more than we need them. Has anyone done a head count on all the people world wide that would be prepared to do this yet? I think not. But they are using social media platforms to spy on us and they know if only the few of us banded together in solidarity to do this. It is more than enough To make a statement and watch all the sleepers that see this plan in action that stop as well. EVERYONE HATES THE WAY WE LIVE FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER. If you offer them all a safe solution without violence or protests or having to take any other form of action other than to stay home and do nothing. They will follow suit and join in. That's how the people take the power back. Then we can have a resource based economy. It's the people who have the brains and man power. We already do everything run everything and the powers to be do no more than steal everything and live of the brains and and bodies of the people. FUCKING PARASITES and that's all they are, nothing more. These so called rulers are so far out of touch with a true reality it's beyond a joke. The real joke is on us the people who merely think there is no other way but the one we've been hand fed. Which is TOTAL BULLSHIT. It would be a good start to show them they work for us. We have half of society working way to hard and treated unfairly and the other half without work at all going crazy without a means to put food on the table and roof over head. Working in with the community is part of being a community. When you take that away from people excluding them as the current capitalist system does, well how can you expect better of them. It creates criminals. They are not happy nor are their victims. The only answer to this is not to create a police force full of thugs who are never there to save the victims in advance, they are only here to write up a report for insurance companies. They save no one. I could go on all day about the problems I see in the world with this shit and how to create change but ultimately it falls in the hands of the people to lose the fear and take a stand or cling to the BULLSHIT system as I continue to see all around me everyday. Makes me sick to see just how weak the people have become.
Omg .... so well said Tony!

Don't worry! Soon as I'm sorted out on a few fronts. This place sure is ignighting my enthusiasm. I'll be all over it like white on rice.
That's the best news I've heard all day!

That's so awesome!!! WOWW!!!
hahaha. You beet me to it! Well done.
Lettuce turnip the beet!
By all means, please elaborate on the few points I made. I'd love to see/read the White Walking Feather version of this rant!
I've spoken against this program ever since the idea was first floating out there. The premise behind it being sold to the public is that the government would provide money to bring everyone up to a minimum income level. It would simplify many programs and perhaps even save a lot of money. It may also help ensure that people don't fall through the cracks.
What they don't talk about is where this money comes from. As the state continues to decrease taxes from the rich, the burden moves to the middle class. There is a war on and the goal is to whip out the middle class to make two classes, rich and dependent.
I have many friends who feel guilty for working in the oil field, pipelines, etc. I told them that they are working for the beast. If they take that money and put it towards self-sufficiency, independence, food sovereignty, energy sovereignty, etc, then what they are doing is siphoning energy from the beast. In short, beating up the beast with its tail.
However, if they take that money and buy the big trucks, big homes, toys, etc, then they are feeding the beast and remaining dependent upon it.
I'm not going to petition the government to dismantle the guaranteed income program. What I'm going to do is petition the individuals who are benefiting from these programs and confront them on what they are doing with that money.
Are they going to continue being dependent children or are they going to take the opportunity to become independent adults? That is the choice we are all facing right now. The risk is, as Lyndsay has pointed out, if people choose to be dependent, then their lives are literally in the hands of the state.
How well does the state govern people, especially during a crises? Just look at what is going on in the US with the hurricanes, fires, floods, etc. They are not there to help people but to govern the crises and maintain order. Even here in Canada, police go door to door under the guise of looking for people, but in fact they use the opportunity to break into peoples homes and steal the guns!
The state is in big trouble. Building even more dependency on the state is dangerous and lives are at risk. It is time to use ween ourselves from these slave traps and find independence. If people need help to do it, then do what you must. But in the end, if anything happens the individual is always 100% responsible and accountable for their own life. If they lack the skills, tools and resources to provide for him / her self, then there is nobody to blame by the individual we see in the mirror each morning.
Absolutely, fuck it babe.
Social programs have always been part of the control mechanism and a way of vote buying for the criminal scum in government.
I don't want a single penny from these political whores. UBI is a piss poor idea just like all social programs, where is the money going to come from?
Tax payers?
The printing press?
Either way it'll end up in a giant fucking mess just like everything governments tend to do.
If hyperinflating the $, £, €, ¥ etc is the plan then they couldn't have picked a better way to do it. You'll never get rich on a government handout, you'll just about survive to vote for the moron offering you the most at the next election.
It's a farce!
I'm glad you can see the long term effects of this 'generosity'...thank you my Tremendos friend for not buying in!
It's only generosity if you give away your own money!
If these politicians want to empty out their own bank accounts and hand it out to those in need I have no problem.
But they want extreme communism, where they sit atop a power structure with their corporate masters watching the masses grovel for the latest pittance.
I'll never buy into that babe.
You're a legend Lyndsay. 😉
Whatever little good the so called "government" might do is always first funded through the immoral theft known as taxation. Government is the root of the problem, never the solution. Great video Lyndsay.
Beautifully said. Short, sweet and to the point.
F-ing the system always gets my full up vote and resteem!
Every last bit of "good" the elites have done or have planned is a trojan horse concealing more misery.
Aw...thanks @overkillcoin! Steem will help a million times more people than any handouts from the so-called 'gov' will.
Maybe instead of universal income, there should be "we'll stop bleeding you dry through tax-theft so you can power up like a boss"
Now THAT would be worth something!
XD
So true! People may not want to hear it, but government does not care about you or I. Only money. We are dollar signs to them. I see blockchain technology and crypto as a way to lift people up, give them power over their life and money. It's an exciting, but scary time to be alive!
Blockchain and crypto are one of the biggest sources of my hope for humanity lately...it's giving power back to the people.
"More power to feed us gives them more power to starve us." EXACTLY.
True of health care and building roads and everything else. The roads are a great example - suggest ending theft by taxation and people will whine "But who will build the roads" as if the ONLY way to build a road is with a government contract...
Ooh how refreshing to read this comment! You absolutely GOT IT @fishculture and I'm so happy to know you! People do all the work. People will still want to heal each other, and fix broken things without the so-called 'government'.
Great post @lyndsaybowes and yes double fuck basic income! A stepping stone towards a feudal system (us and them) a fuedal system that within a generation will drain intellect, independence and self sustenance. Relegating vast swathes of the public to little more than children waiting in line to be fed "please sir can I have some more". It will also be a gateway to a government backed digital currency/card system, I mean do people think this will be paid straight into their bank accounts? Acually I'll throw another fuck into the mix .. triple fuck basic income! Great post @lyndsaybowes just keep doing exactly what you're doing :D
I LOVE you my Perceptual Friend!!!! :) :) :) :) :) Triple fucks all around!! WOOHOO!!
The truth about this is government do not really care about us, the earlier you know this the better for you as an individual. For the part of the world I found myself I've learn really not to depend on the so-called government cause what they represent on the outside is false. I found myself in a situation recently which was the cause of non-challant attitude of this so-called government here. The incident paralysed academics activities for more than 8month but yet I found myself doing something else to get myself ready for the future. What they represent really is hurting us not serving us. We should stand and help each which I think is the best.
I am so glad things worked out for the best for you, you are definitely a strong man who has good morals.
Thank you @lyndsaybowes
100% @lyndsaybowes
I can't stand the short sighted stance of someone who supports this. They wish to sacrifice our freedoms for "free" money when we've learned time and again that nothing is ever free, especially from a government.
Say no to this communism folks
Ahhhhh how did I know you would share the same values as me on this issue. :) Thank you @lk666, you are such a refreshing Man to be around!
Yeah, I live mostly off the grid. I have solar electric and well water from a shared well I had to buy into with a lifetime membership. It is a process to divorce oneself from the system. Most people I speak to about it are so brainwashed that they are scared without all the comforts they have now living in civilization with all their bills, slave wage jobs, etc. that they act like you have to do it all at once. I did have a leg up having money with investments etc. but it is expensive and should be walked into carefully even if you have all the money you need right off the bat. You have to learn skills you may never have before used like carpentry, electrical, plumbing, gardening etc. Things will be different but it is worth it when you realize at the end you won't have to sacrifice time away at a soul sucking job and that you are starving the government of tax revenue.
I moved from Mississippi to Northern New Mexico because of the abundant sun, however I'm now surrounded by libtards so it's a really weird situation to see off gridders with communistic ideals. It's also telling that most of them are from places like California, but the ones from back east like me are more often than not libertarians, ancaps, or something like that. I keep telling my "progressive" friends that if they really want change they need to elliminate their tax footprint yet they don't want to hear that. They want upper and middle class taxed into oblivion while the government gives them money to barely exist. It's a sort of Stockholm Syndrome in my estimation.
Anyway, rant over.
Peace Lyndsay
You're so right, it's all about the baby steps, we're still making ours, yet every day we get closer and closer!! <3 <3 Epic rant LK!! I love you BRO!!! Keep shining!!!
