I could definitely see the cyber goths listening to Boy Harsher on a dark wave night.

Cyber goths listen to aggrotech and really gimmicky electronic goth acts that sing about cyber punk nerdom.

You'd probably hate majority of their music. It's much more angry and formulaic than what it derives from and it's very very shallow and juvenile. Definitely lacks what you like from the culture and represents the cliches that you hate.

But it's sometimes really funny how goofy they can be.

LOL Satanic Nazi priests throwing a cocaine orgy.

I support Trump’s nuke a hurricane plan.

At least once, I mean, YES.

Reminds me of the Idiocracy movie but like the cool stuff they did

Canada will be caught in a three way crossfire between the main country, Alaska, and Greenland. Victory will be assured.

So Bernie's alternative to UBI is to work for the govt. Someone explain to me how Yang is not to the left of Bernie on this issue?

You don't necessarily forgo other govt assistance.. you just get that amount deducted from your UBI. Which isn't that unreasonable. If you're already getting 1000 a month in govt assistance you need more then something is wrong with that picture.

It would disproportionately help lower income people who are very unlikely to be paying 12k a year in vat taxes aimed at companies like Amazon, so even though everyone gets a check it is a direct redistribution of wealth

Where as Bernie's alternative is if you want to work for the govt you can? Weak.
