There is, no joke, a surprising amount of libertarian support.
The two most prominent libertarian supporters of a UBI are Matt Zwolinski, a libertarian philosophy professor at the University of San Diego, and the economist Michael Munger.

Yeah, it does make me nervous because it feels like a lot of libertarian ideology around UBI involves getting rid of social security, food stamps, etc. etc. without guaranteeing UBI will cover basic survival.

If it fails at that, it’s just “UI” and thus doesn’t count, by definition.

(I think it’s important to clarify that I’m left-libertarian, not an ‘edgy fascist’ an-cap like those who’ve co-opted the label in the US.)
