The developed world already has this problem: Australian unemployment benefits are on the same order as most UBI proposals. The current Australian response is the systematic rape and murder of unauthorised immigrants, which most of the country thinks isn't tough enough. (That is literally true, not a joke.) So this can go very wrong.

Systematic? Citation please.

  • Version 2 of the transportation system is well known in outline. Undesirable elements are disappeared to remote islands, whose people don't want them there, and whose police, to the extent that there are any, aren't willing to protect them. The resulting rapes and murders are, well, results.

    The people in charge of this go to extreme lengths to prevent anyone finding out the details, which is strong circumstantial evidence that they're doing something very wrong, and that they know it.
