GBI is the gateway unavoidably to absolute totalitarianism.

One need only look at the aggregate behavior of the recipients of secular ‘welfare’ benefits. Unless Karl Marx is right and human nature will change, widespread GBI will destroy civilization itself without totalitarian guidance for each individual.

Marx has never been right about anything. Only someone like him could come up with the absurd notion (without explanation) that an all-powerful centralized state would “wither away” into his mythical communistic society. And as “The Naked Communist” points out, Marx’s ideal human race would be “conditioned to think like criminals” without a shred of morality.

Wasn’t it Nancy Pelosi who was touting about people having more time to pursue their desires?

“Overwhelmingly, for the American people, this is a liberation,” she contended, adding that the monstrous law will give citizens “the freedom to pursue [their] happiness.” http://www.westernjournalism.com/pelosi-celebrates-loss-full-time-jobs/

She said this in regards to the cuts business took due to Obamacare. But, this could just as easily have been said about robots/AI taking over jobs.

So as we watch them ignite the calls for GBI, lets look to some of our conservative philosophers with regards to this idea of ‘liberated time.’ I can’t help but have innate fear strike through my heart to think they will couch this all as “liberation,” all the while marching millions down the road to tyranny. And yes, maybe even the mark of the beast.

With a GBI everything will be tracked. What happens then if the GBI isn’t enough say for a medical emergency, buy a house...oh wait...you won’t get enough to really own private property like a house or car.
