    A common trapping I've encountered with UBI advocates is that they have an idea in their heads of what UBI could be, but a lot of them, especially the left ones, tend to overlook the current moment. I agree, UBI could be good under socialism, as could a lot of things, but we're not anywhere close to building socialism and UBI is no guarantee that socialism will happen, so we shouldn't trust the neoliberal capitalist establishment will do our work for us.
