> an unprecedented level of top-down control over society

wouldn't the people that the article is accusing of being against UBI, want this outcome?

sounds like if they want more control, they should be for UBI

I'm not sure the article itself is an unbiased source, given that it is published by a pro-UBI website.

It seems likely that the article's assumptions about who is opposing UBI and why they are opposing it are erroneous. I personally oppose UBI for the reasons I described above, by my motivations have nothing to do with anything the article is talking about.

It's also possible that various factions are using positioning around UBI proposals as a proxy or as a tactic to advance other, more complex, political aims.

Would UBI lead to more control for them, or for government? I have to imagine the latter.
