I am this type of SBNR who is a Interfaith (Christian including Adventist, and that Irreligion of that atheist-agnostic guest AXIS member at one of our Sunday Assemblies of God young adults group meetings in 2007/Abrahamic religious sects) and Deist exploraseeker
I support potty parity for Women's restrooms (but not for Men's restrooms)
I'd like there to be 2 sets of Men's restrooms and Women's restrooms instead of 1 set. This would mean that Men's restrooms would be surrounded by Women's restrooms on the top/bottom and left/right and that Women's restrooms would be surrounded by Men's restrooms on the top/bottom and left right, with unisex portapottys (like the ones in parking lots at events) linking the sets of restrooms
I am against Donald Trump's Garden of American Heroes idea and I am glad that Joe Biden scrapped that appalling idea. Moreover, Trump's 'heroes' weren't anywhere left enough and were all clearly Trump picks.
The federal government (including our Presidents) should not tell us who our historical heroes should be and should not force these names upon us. It's bad enough they already do that through holidays, naming things etc. To have a garden too is overkill. Maybe Trump should have admitted those were his heroes, then I would be less harsh.... or maybe NOT!
Making a garden of American heroes is telling Americans that 'these American heroes are better than you because they have a statue here and you don't'. A Garden of Heroes is something you'd see in CCP China or in the USSR under Josef Stalin, such cultist trash should not be in the US.
I am fine with Oregon's right to die law
I want video games to be as hard now as they were in the 1980s and 1990s (ie cheap level design, not telling the player where to go, unfair gameplay etc, ie Nintendo Hard). This teaches players how to overcome obstacles ,rewards players who keep going and instills values.
I am against sports betting becoming legal. It ruins the integrity of the game. I also am not crazy about gambling
I am sort of a Neo Luddite who favors a future Agrarian Paternalistic Conservative society in centuries or maybe a few centuries. I sort of have an open minded understanding of Post-Left/Anarcho Primitivism and find some aspects of it correct (or not far off) though I don't really agree with it. I find the whole concepts of trying to 'civilize' people offensive. Sometimes simpler is better. I can empathize with people who are Neotribalists, as if we keep advancing in complex social spheres, we'll have no where to go but back to tribal living. Of course I don't necessarily agree, but it is an interesting concept. But fighting against and ending consumerism is a more practical and logical 'return to tribalism' than the above.
Seeing more and more new technology makes me a bit down or even a bit sad about the present since it means people are losing touch with natural things, old school things and the human experience. New technology makes things too easy for people, and makes them seem elitist to people who died before they got to use those new technologies or who used lesser technologies at the same age
Moreover, it makes it seem that people 'need' things like mobile phones, social media, gps navigation systems in cars, etc when that isn't the case. I am against superficial technological advancement as some form of modernity is good
I at least in a tongue and cheek way, critique modern civilization and I sort of in between tongue in cheek and serious but slightly more than half heartily advocate for a soft return to our less civilized ways via slight deindustrialization (which also will help the environment) , scaling back or high technology (at absolute worst making us live like we did in the late 1990s to mid 2000s decade technology wise) and by abandoning large scale organizational structures (and possibly slightly or possibly more so getting rid of labor or specialization (but within the boundaries of my views in my fiscal views section)
Stuff like the internet (not ARAPANET, ARAPANET is ok) and social media (or at worst all social media except c 2001 AOL social media) alienate us making it easy for the government to coerce us and oppress us when they want to do so as it shuts us off from society in a way that isn't natural.
Very old school societies (like B.C old school) are less susceptible to war, violence (debated), and disease.
When the Europeans came to the Americas, Africa, etc they dehumanized the populations by trying to 'civilize' them. It was offensive and wrong since who are they to say what type of society is better or worse than other types. Just because Australia, Caribbean or South Pacific didn't have printing presses or 100 foot buildings should never have been seen as a mark against them. They were as great or better than those European imperialists in different but no less important ways.
.I try to bury those thoughts and feelings since I don't care for the PC-SJW woke crowd, but the fact is, if I was one of those 'uncivilized' natives of the Caribbean, Africa, Australia, the pacific etc back then, I would feel lower than dirt with the way those elite, rich and bourgeois Imperialists tried to civilize me and say my culture was inferior to their culture when the fact is it wasn't and they have no right to judge cultures of peoples in said culture.
Now the Imperialists did do great things in building things like roads, hospitals, schools etc in those other countries but the fact is the natives of those places would have done so anyway themselves if they weren't imperalized by those Imperialists and maybe better
Of course if those Imperialist and European explorers may have needed to do that for self worth and to overcome feelings of depression, inferiority, being bullied when they were young, etc (i.e Napoloean complex) so i can understand why they did that, but still it was majorly wrong.
We still see that today with the Right being looked down on by the left for not being 'civilized'
