ah yes, capitalist apologia: wanting anti-capitalist or counter-capitalist economic ideas to combat people's poor living under capitalism, that is a totally logical conclusion to come to.

i feel like even the accelerationists would not be so foolish

Accelerationists when they find out most revolutions happen after a relaxing of conditions instead of the result of a population reaching a breaking point. UBI could very well be the sorta catalyst that they assume widespread immiseration would be.

There might be some angle to protect what remains of whatever new flavor of capitalism will come out as a result of course, but that would necessitate driving a wedge and only giving UBI to some and hoping the people who get it will be too pacified by it to care about the people who don't get it and dismantling proletarian solidarity. At that point though the ball is in the working class' court to exhibit solidarity, not to oppose anything that could possibly make things easier for anyone.
