I think the whole point of this conversation is that it shouldn't be different psychologically. People are responsible for the consequences of their actions.

Well, I don't agree, because we live in a society where your options are to work or starve. Essentially no matter what you do you're complicit in something. Your computer and phone probably have some conflict resources in them, it is very likely that sweatshops or even unfree labor was used at some point in the supply chain for your clothes, produce is picked in appalling conditions, etc.

Fair enough. I am actually somewhat with you on that. So defund other gov spending to fund BI. Transfer payments alone are already getting close to 10k/US citizen, so it's not like we don't have the money to do it.
