You realize that countries with modern welfare states mostly have, right?

Inequality is what irks people today.

They will be a lost less irked if they have the things they need. It's not jealousy - this country loves rich people.

Hence, UBI is a policy to placate.

UBI will work only if it's enough to allow people to afford food, shelter and health care. And yet if it is ever adopted, it's unlikely to be and many UBI advocates, including you, like it expressly because it can be used as an excuse to end direct provision of those things.

I don't know what you're saying here and I'm not sure you do either.

I'm saying that you lie to yourself about your views on race (and gender). You dismiss other people's concerns about those issues, because you fundamentally don't care. They don't affect you, so you don't care. This is why "wokeness" bothers you. It's people asking you to care about things that don't matter to you. You view that as an imposition. You think not caring about those issues in neutral when it is not.
