Now imagine if you lived in a society where someone gave a shit about your problems. And maybe they even have the skills and resources to fix them more efficiently than you would. Or not, does it matter, theyre willing to help.

It actually is. We all have problems. Humanity formed society to solve problems. Society has been hijacked (for a loooong time in many different ways) to extract value from others. Some people want to combat that.

Some “have their own problems to deal with”

You, like the vast majority of people, are (almost certainly) not included in “those with capital”

Who is “us”? Unless you’re politically well connected or have nine figures in the bank, you aren’t wielding significant power to make systemic changes.

“Us” the people who pay taxes and are hypothetically responsible for paying for UBI.

That is false. Most of us aren’t sociopaths like you.
