Prada on Robotization and UBI

I want to give a little example of Juan Manuel de Prada’s writing so people know what they are getting into if they decide to check him out:

Robotization will generate huge economic benefits, of which only a tiny portion —under the guise of a philanthropic handout— will be used to cover the “basic income” of the unemployed masses. The rest of the UBI will be paid for by milking the dwindling workforce even more. The so-called universal basic income is a fundamental component in the plan that the globalist elites have designed to destroy national economies and establish a hegemonic plutocratic reign. UBI will serve to keep in a state of “controlled poverty” the huge masses of workers condemned to structural unemployment, after the productive fabric of the nation will be destroyed. Some people will be delusional enough to see the UBI as a joyous liberation from the Biblical curse of hard work. But instead it will be contemptuous alms, not so much in what concerns its amount (which will be enough to guarantee “sustainable poverty”) as in its meaning. Human beings need to love and feel linked to what they do. We need to commit to the product of our effort and create associative networks through work. And, once that link between a human being and the product of his labor is removed, all we will have left is a life of idle vermin.
