Missing the link for your assertion he is into universal income etc... and for the Rousseau stuff .. you have time ...

OMOLIVES, While your Rousseau quote has be a bit curious to look
a bit at him again, do you understand what i mean when i say your

" Do you not understand what I was saying:

Bingo. Corruption and ineptness...compounded by.... falsehoods
and idiocy spread by all media outlets and social media.

Hello?????????? :)"

feels, a bit presumptuous, arrogant, smartalecky (my word.)

I just don't understand why you chose that approach.

And could you explained briefly in your own words exactly how you feel

"Rousseau has infamously been misinterpreted for years by both left, right, and other political ideologies."

Do you mean only by political ideologues? How about by others?

Finally, judging by the emphasis placed in the quote you used, and by your comment, am guessing you
agree with Rousseau saying "that humankind is good by nature but is corrupted by society"

Just to be sure where you are coming from.

PS: Afterthought, maybe by misinterpreted you mean ideologues across the political spectrum
have been saying, or do say, that Rousseau believed humankind is basically corrupt by nature.

Am thinking maybe two or three exchanges a day for a day or three to be more sure we understand each other. on this score. \\ .

OMOLIVES, Your opinion, seems many others don't find Bregman "negative and suffocating',
including me so far. And to see him honest in conceding problems in his positions

As a basic income advocate, I have to admit that this is true, and that it struck me as well while I was reading the coverage. We need more intellectual honesty here. It's not about being pro- or anti-UBI. It's about what works in the fight against poverty, injustice etc. https://t.co/FDC33pa9Er

is good too. . That's one of the reasons i like Krugman, he admits when he is wrong.

You stated your opinion "Rutger Bregman is himself negative and suffocating." as a fact.
