Whether or not her post was intended as a call to action would matter under US law, but the UK crime with which she was charged ('inciting racial hatred') has no such requirement.
A couple of major socially relevant features of a UBI are that it gives people time to pursue their own ends (for good or ill) and lets them decide where to live independently of work opportunities.
A fake job doesn't allow for these unless it's so fake that you can never show up, move halfway across the country, and keep getting your checks. My guess is these WMATA jobs aren't quite that fake; they're more like 'sit in an office slowly plodding through useless paperwork' or 'stand around on a job site with your six buddies watching the one new guy work.'
