Yes! A common theme in all sorts of thug groups and right-wing
organizations - finding a sense of purpose in the pride of being
of a certain race or descent to compensate the challenge of real
life being bitter and harsh possiby, or just plain boring.

I don't know if we can do a lot politically regarding the boring
bit, but an unconditional basic income could alleviate the harsh
and bitter if basic survival is nothing you need to worry about,
not even if people are migrating into your country.

Depending on the definition of "market order" the change is already
taking place, or, if you by "order" mean the necessity to reform
the economic system, then no - robots won't do that for us.

Yes, that clip is fundamental and the book from Federico Pistono
this is based on is pivotal. He's also one of the few folks who
got the UBI reasoning right, because he's good at being strictly
rational. Started out doubting that UBI can work out, then found
the data compelling. The net is full of video clips from this guy.
Go and enjoy.

I also worked on the topic of UBI, mostly within the Italian pirates
forums, but was recently asked to translate some of it and now I'm
getting invited to a conference in Amsterdam on that good old topic..  ;)

and the one that arose from a discussion on this mailing list years ago:

    Options for a Cumulative Unconditional Basic Income

My harshest criticism goes out to this new spin to manipulate the 
public opinion into thinking that there will be New Jobs to replace
the old ones while The Future of Jobs Report 2016 from the World 
Economic Forum suggests the contrary.

I have a vague feeling we are related to immi.is...
