I am a Hard Left Social Democrat (including Austromarxism), Third Camp Syncretic and fan of Populism
My main support is for Populists (i.e Populist Caucus) and Independents, Hard Left, Blue Collar Caucus, and modern Classical Liberals
I support the Labour Party UK (current Labour Party UK Social Democracy/some aspects of 2017-2019 Labour Party UK Social Democracy/Momentum/Guild Socialism)
Fiscal
I am a Social Democrat (including Austromarxism) , instinctive Anarcho Libertarian (Left Rothbardism) Social Anarchist (Anarcho Syndicalist, Mutual Aide) , Libertarian Municipalist, and Autonomous Marxist
I support State Socialism (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) and Revolutionary spontaneity
I am fiscally responsible
I support the Labour Party UK (current Labour Party UK Social Democracy/some aspects of 2017-2019 Labour Party UK Social Democracy/Guild Socialism)
I support the Labour Party UK absorbing the Social Democrats from the Liberal Democrats UK party
I support a Homeless Left fiscal system (like in the 1920s Germany) replacing Democratic Socialism within the Labour Party UK as the middle ground between Communism and Social Democracy
Outside of Labour Party Social Democracy, I support the type of Social Democracy that was done throughout the world from the early mid 1920s through mid 1930s, especially from the mid late 1920s through the early 1930s. I can put up with a Nordic Model economy
I also support pre policy Social Democracy which includes a mix of the early to mid 20th century United States economic policies with USSR like planned economy (ie like the one under Marxism-Leninism) but with more actual socialism
All of my economic views have elements of socialistic Ordo (Neoclassical) Syriza ‘Neoliberalism’
I want either an eventual State Socialist (strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society or a City State (radically localized)-Bioregional-Libertarian Municipalism society
To implement a transition to State Socialism (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) we need to defeat Neoliberalism (including Capitalism), Constitutional Republicanism-Conservatism, Globalization/Western Imperialism (too offset Global Capitalism), great power chauvinism society and socialist revisionism (which keeps Neoliberalism and Capitalism afloat)
The first method would be through a Revolutionary Vanguard that fuses Social Democracy with this type of revolutionary socialism as a way to make this happen but in a way like the SDAP balanced Austromarxism with this vanguard revolutionism as mentioned here and in The Austrian Socialist Experiment: Social Democracy and Austromarxism, 1918-1934 from pp. 178–179, and on pp 206
This unique Revolutionary Vanguard method would have working class class consciousness being achieved more organically through the national autonomy maintenance
This unique Revolutionary Vanguard would be a totality of people bound together through a common destiny into a community with character. The march to a State Socialist (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society would include a synthesis of the notion of nationhood .
This transition would be done in a way that makes it evident that national identity is not necessarily obstructive toward class consciousness which would be achieved through a shared national identity as opposed to the capitalist tendency of spatial planning which results in imperialism and or globalism . It would exist as a useful praxis for worker self-determination .
It would basically fuse classes with a national development and growth program. It would include a focused and strategic use of direct state power and funding to increase economic growth in certain areas due to the nation's needs during this transition. This basically means that the product of the worker's labor would belong to the community as a whole
This Revolutionary Vanguard would gather the geographically divided members of the same nation. It would organize nations not in territorial bodies but in simple association of persons and thus radically disjoin the nation from its territory while making the nation a non territorial association
So to create this State Socialist revolution under this method, we would have to use a path of social democracy to achieve this. This includes granting major and permanent concessions to the proletariat and generating lasting transformations in the social and economic structure
This Revolutionary Vanguard method would reject elitism as a method for the dissemination of class consciousness and not use a Bolshevik type vanguard.It would be an organic movement from a working class groundswell of class awakening and gradual transition toward State Socialism (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism).
Furthermore, this revolutionary Vanguard would also have Left ‘CPUSA Left ‘reactionary’’ ideology that is anti establishment, banally patriotic (as noted above in the nationalistic part) , Anti Bolshevik (since Austromarxism is opposed to the Bolshevik model of revolution), and Isolationist toward the Middle East (since the US being involved in the affairs of the Middle East has hurt the US economy for decades)
The second method is through spreading a socio-fiscal system that can be labeled interchangeably as State Capitalism, Bureaucratic Collectivism, State Stalinism (including Socialism in One Multipolar Country) and a unique Mode of Production. This system is similar to State Socialism (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) but is more of a early stage, revolutionary form of it.
The third method is through Left Acceleration since a full maturation of capitalism is the precondition for state socialist realization
This means implementing an Ayn Rand Objectivist form of inherently anarchistic Laissez Faire Capitalism (where private enterprises will be guided by invisible forces and competition rather than by the existence of a state like structure without copyright laws, property rights, and common defense without upsetting business owners and that also encourages productivity as one of its tenants)
During this full maturation, Classical Liberalism that balances the budget and boosts domestic production will be a factor in this Ayn Rand Objectivist form of inherently anarchistic Laissez Faire Capitalism
This transitional method would promote economical individual rights (including conditional and Left Rothbardian property rights) and be the only system based on the protection of those rights.
The fourth method would be to use an alternative to the proletariat/Dictator of the proletariat to lead to this utopia.
This alternative to the proletariat/Dictator of the proletariat would be to engage angry and unsatisfied people by taking control of social movements in a way similar to Leninism 4.0 and Marxist cultural studies. This would be to get this communistic society to take hold in the west by transforming cultural institutions but in a Democratic way that fosters mutual affection among Americans and does not cause some Americans to despise their fellow citizens for this alternative to the proletariat/Dictator of the proletariat
The first method will lead us directly to a State Socialist (State Socialism with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society.
However the second, third and fourth methods will not lead us to that society but only get us closer to it. If we use the second or third method, the next and final stage to lead to a State Socialist (State Socialism with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society would be through Anarcho Syndicalism
This type of Anarcho Syndicalism that would include some elements of worker radical syndicalism along with Laborism and moderately better social wages along with more hands on leadership councils who more directly help workers. It could interchangeably be called Anarcho Workerism (sometimes workers are in a war against their overlords so its understandable to see it from there side)
This fiscal part of the work would be political, so that the worker himself/herself would force change without having to get political parties involved to do it for them. It would be anti systemic rebellion. This embodiment of this worker revolution would be an organic movement that is developed from a groundswell of awakened working class people and then the gradual transition toward the types of socialistic economies I support
To expand on this, we need more autonomous mass worker marches to show appreciation to our country's workers to make them want to help in our revolution. Maybe when workers of all race-ethnicities are united in a way that meshes with Autonomism, in their jobs and there is no more class conflict, this can happen
During this transitional stage, groups of businesses would work with the workers having greater profit through negotiations between unions and business groups, all of which would operate under a strongly extreme paternalistic anarchistic/socialist government (which would be commonplace in a Anarcho Syndicated transition to my State Socialist society) . Basically as a unique way for classes to collab/class co op to lead to an eventual classless society .
During this Anarcho Syndicalist transition and after we get to a State Socialist (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society , workers would get fuller/more control their places of employment which would make things like voluntary work from home easier to grasp for people not on board with it. This would be done through cooperative-diplomatic management of their industries.
The goal would be to increase productivity. As long as those workers can guarantee this (or them being more reliable than Capitalism is 'reliable), then this would be set up for them.
Basically self management (via individualism, autonomy and anti authoritianism), and even Republicans would be welcome to do this (and it is right up their ally since they always talk about small government and wanting more control of things, so them having more control of their work would be good for them). Revolutionary spontaneity (alongside the Anarcho Syndicalism methods mentioned above to push forward to State Socialism) would be a way to make this a reality.
Revolutionary spontaneity is a revolution against the Capitalist state and it can occur spontaneously by the worker class themselves, without the assistant of aid or guidance by another party (autonomously as mentioned a few paragraphs above). I believe that such revolution would not be caused by the actions of individuals (i.e professional revolutionaries or political parties).
This is because it is in good taste to do it the ways I wrote above. People would disassociate themselves from such people in order to push them to be more effective in the revolution. Both sides have their own unique way to go against the Capitalist state
There would be self enforced labor discipline since no one is or would be above the law. Workers would be protected from being triggered
During this transition to our State Socialist (State Socialism with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society there would be more expansive Mutual aide set up, more as safety nets due to the nature of this bumpy transitional path.
These Mutual aid participants would work together to find strategies and resources that would meet each other's needs (like food, housing, medical care, and disaster relief), while organizing themselves against the system that created the shortage in the first place. This would help distribute needed resources more efficiently. It is human nature to favor cooperation for survival and mutual aid. People need each other
To mesh with an eventual stateless, classless and hierarchical society, these Mutual Aide groups would be egalitarian , non hierarchical and non bureaucratic structures, with members controlling all resources , sort of like a make shift participatory democracy, with equality of member status and power that would be shared leadership and would be consensus based decision making
In our eventual State Socialist (State Socialism with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society, the state would own the means of production (by a worker's party and/or a state-planned economy) via an association of manufacturers and suppliers , in a mix of public and private means (basically Left Rothbardian means) and or with workers having genuine control over the means of production through institutions such as trade unions. during the transition to the workers seizing the means of production and phasing out Capitalism as mentioned above and below and ultimately abolishing classes and our monetary system
Especially since as mentioned above this brand of State Socialism would have strong worker’s rights Eventually, the state will wither away naturally after the fact (effectively becoming Collective Communistic) or wither away until it becomes limited/minimal
Eventually there would have to be a devolution of the ‘bourgeois’ state (or at worst a devolution to a limited/minimal state), where authority would be spread out to the revolutionary squads and organized via this form of Meritocracy
I believe the Kibbutz would be a good model for this post statist (or limited/minimal statist), moneyless world. It would be voluntary, promote work satisfaction, community, concern competition for prestige and praise from other community members instead of bosses and other corporate big whigs etc)
After the state withers away (or withers away until it is minimal/limited), I would want Austromarxism type of ‘Nationalism’ that is fused with Hyper National Liberalism to be implemented .This would be very similar to Ultra Left (Wing) economics that lead to Americanism with self determination
This would be done partly via Conservative Revolutionism which would create a post class analysis of this communistic stateless (Marxist) or limited/minimal state society and create a national community which would transcend the conventional divisions of left and right
In this post State Socialism (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society or limited/minimal state society, there would probably be something similar to a Patriotic Anarcho Social post statists (with patriotic warlords rising up as ‘monarchs’ counterposed against post state state equivalent bureaucracy or limited/minimal state, that represents the people against the ‘state’) that comes out of the things that I wrote above.
This is the fire of who were are in our needed solitary minds. We need to make new positive values, to not hold on to materialism, to get rid of materialistic things that we don't need. We need to individualize spiritual wealth. The revolutions above are the key to save our society from being pushed further and further right which it has been due to the failures of Capitalism. Collectivization as mentioned above in this blog is needed to counter and fight against the counter revolutionaries. The lower class are friends of the revolution
I think labor strikes will be much less needed when we usher in the pro labor utopia mentioned above especially since HR departments will fulfill a bigger role in such a society . I was sad with the strike busting of the 1980s but it's time to move on from that. However, labor strikes are good as mentioned above
Our politicians and country should have at least some compassion for our workers since they are the life blood of the economy.
I support employee owned businesses
I support the disenfranchised Middle Class/Lower Middle Class-working class especially socially patriotic ones
I support rural populations getting their fair share which is why I feel Agrarian Socialism is good for them. I support Farm Aid
I support poor farmers which is why I feel that collectivization of agriculture is good for them
Antis
I am generally Anti Capitalist . Capitalism is degeneracy .My issues with Capitalism are that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Capitalism has caused horrors like the Great Depression and the fiscal ills that caused mass uprisings in the late 19th century to early mid 20th century. Capitalism is the cause of many of our society's ills. Capitalism is also bad because it is materialistic. If Capitalism leads to something worse than Capitalism, I am open to trying to reform it (I am a Social Democrat after all) but through solidarity and Interculturalism (to fix the classist and similar issues that Capitalism has). Capitalism is also bad because the super rich (1%ers) and their crony allies dominate the markets and that is wrong and must be stopped. We need all the bipartisan and strange bedfellow help we can get to defeat Capitalism
I am an Anti Globalist, I am especially against subversive Globalism which should be countered
I am Anti Globalization . The rise of the bourgeoisie has led to globalization. To quote Karl Marx from the Communist Manifesto "In place of the old wants, satisfied by the production of the country, we find new wants, requiring for their satisfaction the products of distant lands and climes. In place of the old local and national seclusion and self-sufficiency, we have intercourse in every direction, universal inter-dependence of nations. Just as it has made the country dependent on the towns, so it has made barbarian and semi-barbarian countries dependent on the civilised ones, nations of peasants on nations of bourgeois, the East on the West.... Though not in substance, yet in form, the struggle of the proletariat with the bourgeoisie is at first a national struggle. The proletariat of each country must, of course, first of all settle matters with its own bourgeoisie."
I am against fiscal corruption
I am Anti International Communism (which is distinct from Communism)
I am against Global Capitalism
All of the above groups are responsible for our society's ills
I am not down with Anti Marxist-Leninism or one word Marxism. They betray my combined fiscal views since they are less classically liberal than my combined fiscal views. Both have also caused issues including enabling the evil forms of Capitalist imperialism to destroy societies.
However, I believe that Leninism and Right Wing Marxism along with French early 20th century Marxism can be used as a gateway ideology to better political ideologies including the ones mentioned in this blog and thus can be good temp ideologies . A lot of good politicians and pundits use to be Leninists and Right Wing Marxists and early 20th century France type of Marxists
I reject elitism as the method for the dissemination of class consciousness. The cultural interests of the intellectuals and the interests of the working class (as a self enclosed class), have hardly anything in common except the largely general claim for humanly decent existence
I am against the Great Reset. The Great Reset and stuff like raising the minimum wage to 25 dollars an hour , Single Payer health care etc are examples of social fascist politicians and their crony allies exploiting the pandemic to push and implement social fascist unneeded fiscal policies like those policies and that is wrong and twisted
I am against Neoliberalism
I distrust large financial institutions as corrupt
I am very much against offshoring jobs
I am against inheritance taxes
I strongly do not support Free Masonry (as mentioned above) and this discussion provides good insights into Free Masonry and how it should be criticized
Rich
I am against taxing the rich, since I don't believe there should be rich people to tax and I am for getting rid of the rich class especially the aristocratic ,crony/bourgeois rich class, thus not needing to 'tax the rich'. We need to ‘eat the aristocrat, crony/bourgeois rich’ so to speak.
Rich people are elitist, classist and have things they don't need . For example, Musicians and celebrities in Hollywood have mansions, rich cars, closets of gaudy clothes etc which are monuments to their wealth and power, all because they can read from a script or sing as good as me. That stuff is just there to show off how rich and 'better than everyone' they are, since its unneeded. Now if they let non rich fans (or stans) hang in their mansion every so often, and shared things with their fans and stans like in the book of Acts, I would be radically centrist on their excesses or maybe not
However, I look the other way with my former church group (from the late 2000s) friend Kelsey and her family's 'upper middle class' type living, my former church group member Ben and his wife Sheri's 'upper middle class' type living and any similar types of 'upper middle class' living that are extremely similar (but for personal reasons and because those people were blessed)
Countries should prioritize the needs of the people over the state, investing in agriculture and consumer goods (in a way I deem fair) over heavy industry and the military
Communism's issues are authoritarianism (i.e its simplistic religious cult like enthusiasm). Communism is inferior to systems that foster free association/disassociation for individuals and groups of which fight for more fair labor practices. I support the emancipation of the individual
I'm against President Biden's IRS bank snooping plan and his plan to unprivatize banks
White collar criminals deserve harsher prison and more time for their crimes . Being rich shouldn't allow them to get breaks. We need to show poor people that white collar criminals get equal justice to non white collar criminals
Greedy and corrupt Republicans and Far right wing Capitalists push the middle class to the left which is good for us but it doesn't absolve the Republicans and Far right wing Capitalists of their greed and corruption
Property
The only wealth and property that matters is ethical and spiritual wealth and property. When we move on to the 'next life', we only will take those things with us. All other things are immaterial
I feel in the State Socialist Society that I write above (and the transitional stages to it) that property can only be legitimately owned by two means: direct trade from the past owner of that property to a new owner or the potential new owner applying the labor to unowned land. I use this idea to found its claim on the confiscation of the private property, in particular the part about applying the potential new owner’s labor to said unowned property (Applying it to 'ill gotten property') is legitimate leads to legitimate ownership of that property.
The difference between the Classic homesteading principle and this Neo Lockean principle is that the first means also accepts the Lockean proviso as legit, which states that the homesteading principle only applies so long as there is enough of and of the same quality for everybody else, while this Neo Lockean principle rejects this.
I heavily advocate for the respect of private property as a natural right which I derive from the right of self ownership. However I do not see property as legitimate if it is a derivative of coercion, including, if the property derives from state benefits.
I am against the idea that government regulation helps to eliminate or mitigate oppression by the big corporations since I believe the state is the source of the problem it says to solve.
I don’t agree with the view that the Gilded Age was a Laissez-Faire period where the state did not have interference and where the free markets ran the world. The Gilded Age was marked by huge state privilege to selected capital owners and corporations
These state benefits came in ways such as tax breaks, subsidies, or even direct monopolies on certain industries, even though there were certain big businesses at the time which didn't get privileges from the government.
I believe that these types of corporations which the state benefited with more or less largesse should be allowed to be seized by their workers (or third parties) to eliminate state benefits to companies
I support the seizure of "private" property through the homestead principle since that type of property is derived from theft (i.e subsidies funded by taxes) it thus is not legitimately owned, and thus the rightful owners are the ones who apply the labor to said illegitimate property.
I feel that property that was previously stolen by the government legitimizes the seizure of this property.
Like, if the state built a college with money from tax payers, applying my homesteading principle, the college is rightfully the property of those who had been stolen. However, since it's not easy to find out who the university is going to be given to (since it's not stolen from a precise individual), then I feel it's rightfully the property of the workers who by mixing their labor with the facilities have claimed this illegitimate property.
We should consider though, that while they are to be rightfully property of those workers who applied their labor, they are, to an extent, beneficiaries of the government. Thus the second group which can be selected for this ownership are the students themselves who lost their money paying for the maintainance of this ‘ill gotten’ property and the payment of the faculty.
This can be applied like for companies which have benefited from the robbery directly like colleges that get 2/3 of their income from the state. This would also legitimizes the seizure of those colleges by their workers, since a significant part of the benefit of that comes from stolen property. It’s only just that, still applying my homestead principle, the college is seized by the workers. This slow reduction of the state would eventually hopefully lead to a stateless society led by market forces and private property.
Banks
I support nationalizing the Federal Reserve
I am against big bank, I support the Occupy Wall Street Movement. For too long Big Bank have exploited us non bourgeois to make themselves richer, including during the recession .They enable corrupt investors to make this bad situation even worse. We must reform or reimagine our banking and investing systems to fix that,Occupy Wall Street was a step in the right direction. I stand with Elizabeth Warren on bank reform. But we need to get rid of Capitalism or at worst, get rid the crony, bankocratic forms of it (ie corrupt financing). That’s why I have no sympathy for banks when they get robbed.
I am ok with independent banking companies being created and helping each other to help others when it is needed in cases when government intervention is not ideal or wanted
Govcracy
I am all for reducing taxes, regulation and government spending
I am against leaders who are against Producerism
I support more strict tariffs against various countries in an effort to promote keeping jobs in the US . To achieve this, I want compassionate intervention by private government to give boosts to various companies within the US
I support nationalizing some larger financial institutions more than just in emergency situations and even if we aren’t in a State Socialist economy, including using things like bailouts (ie Barack Obama's late 2000s bailouts) on a more common basis. Moreover, I believe the government or state giving more credit to banks is a necessary evil so we don't have depressions or recessions
I am against trade restrictions, I support free trade except in rare times that it's not viable in which case I support protectionism .We must protect local industries from foreign corruption . I support fair trade in times when neither is viable
I am against many aspects of FDR’s New Deal and I feel they need retroactive amendments
I believe that the government should give more freedom to private enterprise (in a Left Rothbardian way), and less intervention in private economies. I support more Left Rothbardian privatization
Monetary policies should be used to get rid of inflation along with temporarily bringing back the Gold Standard to help do so if we can’t move left on the economy
I favor privatization (Left Rothbardian privatization) as a way to remove state monopolies on various things along with awarding concessions.
Big corp / corps
I want Amazon and Big Tech to be broken up. We have to stop their monopolies. There is no reason so many people should wear the same brand of clothes, or be a member of the same social media site. Movie character Arthur Jensen's speech in his movie about how corporations are the real nations of the world today seems frighteningly prophetic after decades of increasing globalism and corporate 'synergy'. I am against monopoly Capitalism
I favor Social Corporatism in hard to explain ways. I also am ok with NGO in specific and creative ways. But I oppose regular Corporatism. However, I want to eliminate corporate personhood
In a static capitalist economy, I favor the type of state corporatism/Right Syndicalism where the state integrates corporations into the economic structure etc
That means the state intergrates large corporations into its economical structure, as a better way to Nationalize certain industries (resources, war production being 2 main examples the latter of which is cool because they did that in with T. A. Gillespie Company making WWI ammo for the US during WWI ). This is good because if corporations want to be political they will have to do this to make it ‘official’
Most small businesses are NOT tax cheats and Justin Trudeau was wrong to lie and say that
Socioeconomics
I support a sophisticated form of government assistance (though not elitist government assistance)
I support right to privacy and right to be forgotten
I support a more poor friendly and compassionate Section 8 housing system
I support Universal Basic Income once a certain level of income has been obtained
I support a complex and advanced welfare and assistance program that is creative . It has elements of Austromarxist Welfare (like in early 20th century Austria where the welfare state was built up and people profited from social reforms including via housing)
I believe Universal Welfare should be implemented but in a socialistic economy as opposed to a capitalistic economy.
I’d like to see the US implement compulsory healthcare for private employees and their family members fused with Big Medicine healthcare-Single payer healthcare (that is publicly subsidized) then gradually move toward a nationalized, free healthcare system (when a certain level of wealth is obtained in our country so that there is no reason for a country not to create such a system) where, in the name of medical improvement and civic liberty, the state would control (in a way that wouldn’t trigger me) peoples health during their lifetime to keep as many people as possible in good health to create a truly healthy and spiritual nation
I conditionally supporting free school where the government indirectly pays for it (indirectly as in four degrees of separation indirect), and kids have to use toy money to pay for their free schooling
My views on Build Back Better are based on my fiscal views, however it would be nice to see us rebuild our infrastructure
I am against raising the minimum wage to 30 dollars an hour (and maybe even against 25 dollars an hour). Such high minimum wage increase would be authoritarian and devaluing hard work if the government did that. I am fine with 15 dollar an hour and maybe even 22 dollar an hour minimum wage laws but I am against 30 dollars an hour minimum wage laws and maybe even against 25 dollars an hour
I do not support student debt forgiveness ideas. Students should work to pay off their student debts instead of relying on the government to do so. If I was a student I'd love it, until I realized how impractical it was. My fiscal views above show how I think students should deal with student debt
I believes in rapid green industrialization in certain places
I support Bitcoin workshops and I have no real issues with Bitcoin
I dislike everything and everyone since it is fun to be like that and because the state of our world. This blog gives a glimpse into my reasons. Just kidding I like everything and everyone, if I didn’t like everything and everyone, no one would like me
Values
I am an Anarcho Monarchist explorer with Christian Communism characteristics (since it might have a use somewhere since country is everything [generally speaking])
Sacrificing yourself for the 'greater good' is futile since our society is made up of individuals instead of a cohesive unit that is separate from the individual. Collective control is not consistent with anarchism and is authoritarian Real freedom can only happen in a truly free society. Misanthropicism is wrong
I support economic justice. I support the lower middle classes and all classes equally
I am fine with the aggravation of class struggle. I support class warfare as mentioned way above against petty bourgeois/aristocratic reactionaries (including corrupt super rich cronies and investors) who have all their socioeconomic wealth handed down to them and cause society to loathe them
I support all classes of society coming together to help our society grow. I support class equality and class unity. We should focus on the future of our nation.
Though I do support class struggle when needed to achieve that but I prefer peace over struggle
I support self control
I am anti authoritarian especially with views of wisdom
I am a new age Survivalist
I am generally against gentrification.
I feel that individuals are entitled to freedom
I support some things from Mahayana
I support generally support Individualism but as a force of Individuals each bringing their own unique reality to compliment each other in a moral relativist sort of way
I support free inquiry
I am against Transnational Progressiveness
I have a right to question authority as do all Americans
We must be wary of some Boogaloo Movement groups who may be right wing.
Our party should embrace science more (including science that takes cues from sci fi/science low fantasy since sci fi/science low fantasy. Sci fi/science low fantasy has become so real nowadays it may help improve science by giving some outside the box ideas)
I support Democratic Underground's policies against criticism of Democrats. Dissent like that on that site can cause splinter groups who could be used by the far right and right wingers to hurt our party.
In a perfect world, the DNC would create our own (Democrat/Liberal/Progressive) brand of media that is based on Democrat/Liberal/Progressive values (and is affiliated with us like MoveOn.org and the Daily Kos is affiliated with us) and make sure it supplants the MSM (Daily Kos and DU isn't enough). That way the MSM wouldn't need to show 'liberal bias', since they'd be the fringe and would be free to do whatever they want
I believe having healthy friendly rivalries with other countries (like Yankees-Red Sox rivalry or Michigan-Ohio State rivalry) is a healthy good thing. Being patriotically proud of your country is a healthy good thing
I don't like transplants moving into areas and taking their culture away (i.e Californians in Oregon, Midwest Hipsters in NYC, transplants from various areas in Colorado etc). It also deludes the fun of moving somewhere new since some transplants in some of those places are from the same area that the person moving to that area is from.
I am a Christian pacifist
I am anti authoritarian
I am against anti totalitarian humanism
I believe Anarchy and the left need to evolve more to be more spiritual and humanistic
I am against Nihilism and I believe people should overcome it to live more fulfilling lives. If people don't go up when they pass away, they will have to overcome Nihilism on their own in the afterlife without religion to help them to do so. I did so back in college, where, after I was freaked out by learning of Eternal Return, I then found out that Eternal Return is set forth by God in a creative way that isn't so nihilist or depressing. I realized back then that God sets forth Eternal Return in a way that when we realize what that way is, we as mentioned above overcome Nihilism and live more fulfilling lives.
Frederick Nietzche's unique views of the world when combined with Liberal Marxism would be a unique political system that might work in some countries or areas
Republicans GOPers, including moderate Republicans and alt righters don't share our liberal/progressive/Democrat values . They don't care about the welfare of the people in our big tent like we care for them because they don't share our values (moral relativeness is real but that's no excuse for them)
Thus Republican GOPers including moderate Republicans and alt righters don't have nearly as many redeeming qualities as us liberals/progressives/Democrats. This is why its easier for me to forgive fellow liberals/progressives and Democrats for their mistakes than Republican GOPers, including moderate Republicans and alt righters
We should go against Republicans and use all people from both sides and Independents to do so
I am against people having a sense of entitlement
I am laid back in my own unique way
There needs to be balance between rational thought (ie reason) and passion for people
I support perspectivism
I am against materialism. Materialism is a spook. God says that the only wealth that matters is spiritual wealth and ethical wealth since those are the only materials we can take from this life to heaven. So materialism loses its luster when you think of that way. We need to individualize spiritual wealth.
I am against consumer culture and materialism. I feel people and their individualism are enslaved by materialism i.e their property. It is wrong that people are obsessed with their property. It is pathetic that people wear the same types of clothes, follow fashion trends, have big flat screen TVs, wear Nikes sneakers or even sneakers themselves, and similar unneeded nonsense. We have to break people free of this bondage to consumerism and materialism. This in part because of corporate monopolies. See my lifestyle blog post for more
Consumerism and Materialism are by products of the evils of Capitalism where people are just objects by Capitalists and corporations to make a buck and get ahead (basically as stepping stones). Consumerism and materialism are at the heart of the soullessness of Capitalism
Capitalism a lot of the time destroys or hampers countries and the structures within them. We must subvert consumerism, materialism and commercialism
I am against consumer culture. I am an anti Consumerist. Consumerism fuels inequality and unequal social structures that create unequal hierarchies. Consumerism is bad because people consume to increase their social position and to keep up with others. There is no good reason people should continuously buy new and new material possessions. It is against God to do so. God gives us what we need, not more and more garbage.
Corporations push consumerism to make a buck at the expense of public welfare (due to things like social stratification, governing ethics etc). I also feel consumerism is bad because it is part of globalization in that corporations try to destroy other countries with their consumerism as they've done in the West. Consumers are treated like guinea pigs that corporations try new and new tricks on to get them to obedient to their demands and that is wrong
Consumerism dehumanizes people and causes people to live immorally. Consumerism is shallow, hollow and makes people think they need things that they DON'T NEED. It also causes pollution and hurts the environment etc. Consumerism is basically corporations making us their slaves and that needs to end
People are compelled to use brand names since their identities are tied to brand names to compensate for other misgivings.
To quote Victor Lebow "Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction and our ego satisfaction in consumption. We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever-increasing rate"
Consumerism via advertisers intrude on peoples lives telling them what they 'need' and what is 'acceptable' when in fact them doing those things is unneeded and unacceptable. It is basically ad creep and unwanted.
They try to force social standards. They make it seem their goods are the keys to happiness and that is disgusting, wrong and crude. Advertisers try to trick people into tying social and material together through their ads to make this happen. They contribute to materialism and that needs to end. What is worse, these advertisers don't want consumers to be truly happy, otherwise their products would not be needed. It's basically a sick game for them
Advertisers objectify the consumers and take their power (and freedom) away while making the consumer think they have the power (when that isn't the case). The short term nature of the gratifcation of commodities take away from a truly lasting happy society. Advertising creates a false mirage of the world which furthers my angst for consumerism and its tenants.
To quote New scientist magazine "subconsciously still driven by an impulse for survival, domination and expansion... an impulse which now finds expression in the idea that inexorable economic growth is the answer to everything, and, given time, will redress all the world's existing inequalities" While also writing "that consumerism is making these tendencies worse by encouraging consumption without limit." The best way to counter bourgeois boredom is through being politically active, non consumerism or materialism. I feel that authoritarian socialist commodity production might be a way to fix this snd fight against materialism and consumerism
I support the inalienable right of self preservation of Americans against punitive and unsanctioned control
Personally, I prefer if all marriages were abolished for both straight couples and gay couples since I believe that marriage is a forced social construct. Since I am an Anarcho Libertarian I personally support gay marriage being legal. Gay married couples have a right to be as miserable as straight married couples
Systematically, I want gay marriage to stay legal, and I don't want any thing changed about straight marriages, but at the same time I want these changes to be made:
The changes are, I want the word marriage in the term gay marriage be changed to a different word that shows that gay marriage is more real/legal and moral than straight marriage and have new things added to gay marriage ceremonies to show that gay weddings are more legit and moral than straight weddings along with adding more rights for married gay couples that they and straight couples currently don't have now (to show that gay marriage is the ideal form of marriage and to show that gay marriage is on a higher hierarchy of marriage than straight marriage without taking anything away from straight marriage ceremonies or rights)
Legality wise, I am fifth political position on gay marriage being legal
Legality wise I would only support gay marriage being legal if privatized marriage is the only legal form of marriage for both straight couples and gay couples. I want the US and other countries to abolish civil marriage, common law marriage and religious marriage and make privatized marriage be the only legal form of marriage for straight couples and gay couples. This way the government stays out of the marriage business.
I support gay adoption being legal because I want children to bring gay couples happiness and have a two way relationship with them where they submit to each other. I hope gays and their adopted children have close friendships with each other.
I hope one day all adoption (including gay adoption) can be privatized
I am against gay conversion therapy being banned since I am an Anarcho Libertarian. The government has no right to play moral cop on gay conversion therapy. If the government of the US changed from a Democratic Constitutional Republic to a Moral Dictatorship or Moralocracy, then I would support the government banning gay conversion therapy.
I am against Rick Perry's early 2010s anti gay laws he signed or tried to sign.
I am against criminalizing people being gay. If anyone of any sexual orientation does any currently illegal sex act , then they will be arrested for it as they should (but be given counseling ideally for it).
I am against gay rights for the majority of LGBTQ+ intelligent life extraterrestrials in other solar systems, galaxies and universes
I believe that if there was like 5 or 10 more biological sexes of people on Earth (that were as opposite of male and female as male and female are opposite of each other), that nearly all gay people from Earth would become either bisexual ,trisexual, or quadsexual (due to having more biological sexes to choose from instead of just male/female).
I believe that gays can become straight (Anne Heche did as did and do many others). I support and celebrate the choice of gay becoming straight even though I am an ally of the gay movement. I support and celebrate people being/remaining gay.
Since a noticeable amount of people against gay rights etc are repressed gays themselves, I sympathize with them even though I agree to disagree with their views on gays
Sometimes, my friend has savant syndrome-intrusive thoughts against their will every so often where they believe that straight marriage is more ideal than gay marriage because in their ignorant and wrong view straight marriages encourage long term bonds between men and women as a framework for helping their children and replenishing society (and are thus in their twisted mind, less likely to be a burden on the state).
When they have these savant syndrome-intrusive thoughts against their every so often, they ignorantly and wrongly believe that the ancient definition of marriage of one man and one woman has a basis in biology which through procreation is more ideal for the societal good since men and women can have children naturally together while people of the same sex cannot
But they always going back to being pro gay each and every time after these rare hickups. I want to get them help for this but I never get around to getting them help. I am embarrassed to be connected to someone with those ignorant, bigoted thoughts even though my friend only gets those ignorant and bigoted thoughts rarely and against their will; the rest of the time they are as pro gay as I am
Christianity and LGBTQ+ are compatible according to HRC: https://www.hrc.org/resources/what-does-the-bible-say-about-homosexuality. It certainly wouldn't hurt for everyone to seek religion (Christianity isn't a bad start for their spiritual journey). Whatever religion or non religion religion, Gays (like all of us who do so) should have a personal relationship with humanity, their God, nature, and seek guidance from those sources in living the lifestyle that is best for them and that allows them to be truly happiest in this life and beyond. I hope everyone of all sexual preferences lives the life that is truly best for them and makes them the happiest
I support the Gay Shame movement . I am sympathetic to their hesitancy of queer mainstreaming, to their demands of the abolishment of state sanctioned coupling (marriage for people of all sexual orientations ie hetero and gay) since I like them see marriage as an exploitation at the benefit of others, and believe that people shouldn't have to do a ritualistic things like get married to get benefits like healthcare and the like . I further sympathize with their views that gay marriage and voting are only hollow things that reinforce the patriarchal structure instead of changing or blowing up those patriarchal structures and allowing people of all sexual orientations a fresh new and equal start. Basically unless we abolish or radically change marriage for everyone, gay marriage is only a hollow victory. It is ok to be gay
The whole concept of the bourgeois dividing people by their sexual orientation ('straight', 'queer i.e gay', 'bisexual') is what they use to enslave people of all sexual orientations. We need to abolish labeling people by sexual orientation, and stop labeling sexual orientations
This is because things like :queer fluidity, queer curiosity, queer flexibility, hetero fluidity, hetero curiosity, hetero flexibility, bi fluidity, bi curiosity, bi flexibility, gender non conforming and their relationships and similar post sexual orientation things are becoming more and more common. Because of that and the fact that the lines between sexual orientations are becoming less and less defined and different, there is no need to label people as 'straight' 'queer i.e gay' ,'bi sexual' etc
Moreover, educating gays bi sexuals etc about what I wrote above, can help them realize they don't have to be Pidgeon holed into one LGBTQ+ box and can be free to explore whatever is best for them. This will make people of all sexual orientations productive members of our society creating a working class conscious.
No more, will gays or bi sexual people have to beer the stigma of being labeled 'queer/gay' or 'bi sexual', since there will no clear boundary between the many types of sexual orientations, which are all becoming less and less defined. This will send a message to the bourgeoisie that them dividing us by sexual orientation has ended.
The above changes will liberate all homophobes, biphobes and heterophobes from their homophobia, biphobia and heterophobia . The above changes will also help people not end up like this former liberal by making it impossible to be homophobic, biphobic or heterephobic in the first place
I am against Heterophobia. There is nothing wrong or oppressing about being Heterophobia. Heterophobia fuels ignorant things like Straight Pride. The only way to stop Straight Pride is to end Heterophobia forever
I don't believe that the Straight Pride userbox on Wikipedia should have been deleted and I believe that Wikipedia users should have been allowed to display it on their userpages
I am against Lesbian Erasure. It's wrong for people to try to get Lesbians to transition to males, gender non conforming or to become fluid. That is wrong, hypocritical and against the values of our society. I want Lesbians to get more visibility within the LGBTQ movement, and be treated as equal to Homosexuals. There is nothing wrong with women being Lesbians.
I am against kids in preschool through c 6th grade (though in an absolute world ps-8) learning these offensive type of things.
I refuse to criticize Florida's new anti grooming law or similar school laws. Instead we need to find ways to stop governors of all states from intruding in the lives of our students in schools. However, I respec Ron Desantis for being bold and passionate , which if he converts to Leftism will be great traits to have to spread Left Wing policies . The government should stay out of our schools.
Off the record, I am not a fan of teaching kids k-5 school sensitive topics such as LGBTQ things
I will donate money to mental health charities and marginalized peoples charities which help poor and, marginalized people and by extension LGBTQ people who have such issues.
If pushed ,I will just say that parents who don't want their kids to learn LGBTQ+ things in school should homeschool their children or have them go to a private school. Let kids be kids.
I am strongly against Affirmative Action and quotas for gays as that is contrary to my values
trans
I believe there are biological differences between males and females (sue me!), but biological differences are arbitrary when all that matters is what is on the inside
I am against Transgenderism erasing women/females. Cisgender Women/females should always be called women/females and categorized as women/females and NOT be called or categorized as birthers.
Children networks shouldn't be teaching children about Drag Queens. Children shouldn't be exposed to drag queens. Drag Queens stereotype genders and wrongly makes it seem that womens' only relevant traits are their looks instead of their intellect, compassion and similar inward (and truly more important) qualities.
Children should not be drag queens or do any pageant or modeling working regardless if they are drag queens or not. Shame on Nickelodeon for their teaching our kids that nonsense.
I am a more than tongue in cheek, auxiliary aloof ally of Transgender Ultra Idenitarianism (not Transgender identity politics) which is State Paleoliberal, against outsourcing, supports legals getting first dibs at jobs over illegals and is Anti Capitalist.
There is NOTHING wrong or transphobic about a woman saying they are proud to be a woman. I fully support Adele's 2022 Brit Awards speech. Her speech was 100 percent positive and great.
Biologically born Males who stay as Males have penises , Biologically born females who stay as females have breasts and vaginas. SCIENCE SAYS SO
Transgender Men cannot inject their seamen into a biological female to conceive a child , A Transgender Woman cannot give birth to a child since she has no womb or ovaries.
I am glad transgender and transsexual people exist because they shake up the whole boring gender-sex tropes
Personally and legality wise I support transgender people marrying whoever they want to marry
I only know of 2 genders (Male and Female)
Teachers shouldn't encourage students to be transgender. Their job is to teach not to convert kids into being transgender.
Personally, I don't believe that kids under 14 should become transgender. Legality wise, I am Libertarian so I am mixed to all over the place on the legal aspects of this issue.
Personally, I don't believe that kids under 14 should become transgender. Legality wise, I am Libertarian so I am mixed on the legal aspects of this
It is NOT transphobic for straight non transgender people to not want to date transgender people. People have a right to miss out on potentially better partners and spouses (who are transgender) for Cisgender spouses who may be less ideal for them
I always defend transgender people from Terf feminists but in a way that is more about de escalation than condemnation of those Terfs. Terfs need to be confronted for their transphobia and have their concerns addressed in a progressive, non sexist way
Transgender women should not be allowed to get cervical cancer screenings since they don't have that organ and I believe that transgender men should be allowed to get cervical and breast cancer screenings (since not getting those tests can lead to them getting those diseases). But this issue is a 3 to me on a scale of 0 (not important) to 10 (most important)
I feel, regardless whether it is right or wrong, that transgender people are good for our society
I want our government to blow up the whole Cissexist, Cisgender patriarchy by overcoming Neoliberalism and Capitalism and create a new hierarchy less system where Cisgender people and Transgender people have true equal rights from the get go (i.e a fresh start) in a world where culture and our institutions are changed where someones gender doesn’t matter and where there is no Cissexism or Cisgender patriarchy .We need to change our system’s model for people of all genders/sexes. This is better than giving Transgender people equal rights and parity in the existing Cissexist, Cisgender patriarchal system which breeds complacency and a false sense of equality. If we do not change the model of accumulation, generation of wealth, how we distribute wealth, the value of work and abolish the Cissexist patriarchal system, we will not have justice and true equality for transgender people
I am fine about transgender men playing men's sports and transgender women playing women's sports
Because I am Anarcho Libertarian I am against hate crime laws for hate crimes committed against LGBTQ+ people. However, I believe a good solution , instead of having hate crime laws for hate crimes committed against LGBTQ+ people, is to put Homophobes and Transphobes who committed hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people in cell blocks with athletic and tough LGBTQ+ people so those LGBTQ+ people will kick the **** out of them
I am fully against Polygamy, Polyarmy and open marriages being legal. Monogamy is better than those systems as shown by science. Children suffer when they have parents who are Polygamous or in open marriages. Polygamy et al cheapens love. If people in marriages want more they should get a divorce first.
Sadly, very few gay , straight curious or bi people find the concept of monogamy enjoyable. Because of that, in the 2000s decade I actually not only wanted gay marriage to be legalized, but I also wanted, albeit pretended to want, at the same time Polygamy, Polyamory and open marriages to be legalized, but for gay couples only. However, I never actually wanted Polygamy, Polyarmy or open marriages to be legalized for gays, I only pretended to want that. I have always had zero tolerance for Polygamy, Polyarmy and open marriages for straights, gays, bis etc
Pedophilia is evil ,wrong and should stay illegal forever.
Pedos aren't born Pedophiles, and just thinking Pedo thoughts is as bad as acting on them
I believe the US needs to have a war on pedophilia to prevent children from being sexually abused in a way that will drastically cut pedophilia by at least 20 or 30 percent. Instead of sticking up for pedos, our side should instead try to stop children from being sexually abused. This will prevent many pedos from being pedos in the first place (since being sexually abused as a child leads to most pedos in Pedophiles)
People who stick up for pedos have no idea that damage and horror their actions cause on our young children. It's sick and wrong.
Pedophiles should be 'strongly encouraged' to go through Wilderness therapy and electroshock therapy to learn discipline and restraint . If they get through that, they should get a lot less prison time when they are released.
I also support having all pedophiles being segregated when they are out of prison (separate yet equal) We should create separate bathrooms, beaches, pools, stores, etc just for Pedophiles. Pedophiles should be banned from using all non pedo bathrooms, beaches, pools, stores etc, just like in the South during Jim Crow.
Pedos who show major improvement can have relations with a parent who has children, but children who are 15 and older only, and while they are being (loosely) supervised only.
I have no idea if Michael Jackson committed pedophilia or child abuse. He could done things better for sure. I've heard all sides of it. But I will always be a Michael Jackson fan regardless.
There is nothing wrong or weird about someone having a foot fetish. It is normal to have a foot fetish
I DISLIKE Pornography and I believe that Pornography should be illegal (but I am against the credit card companies canceling Pornhub and I sort of empathize with the Salon article writers view on the Pornhub-Girls Do Porn thing).
Porn is anti woman and degrades them. Pornhub should be shut down forever. Porn is so bad its good. I am Anti Pornography and we must get it banned forever
In my one of my past lives, I was addicted to sometimes splurging on trap porn (ie PG rated femboy -over 18 porn- the type that Lot would not condemn to only barely condemn)
I am against fetishography and I want it to be illegal forever
I am against legalizing public sex and public orgies. People should never be allowed to have sex or orgies in public ever.
Abortion
Personally I am pro choice for first trimester abortions ,but personally, I believe that for first trimester abortion, abortion should be rare, safe and legal
Legality wise, I am pro choice for first trimester abortion for third position reasons
Personally, I am sixth political position political position on second trimester abortion
Legality wise, I am generally pro choice for second trimester abortion. However, for second trimester abortion, I believe that the government should rarely impose its pro life will upon the people in banning or restricting second trimester abortion, and when doing so, should aspire to maximize their cumulative happiness
Personally and Legality wise, I am pro life on third trimester abortion except for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother
Personally and legality wise I am apolitical lean pro choice for third trimester abortion for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. This is because I believe that women should have access to sexual and reproductive health and being pro choice (or even apolitical lean pro choice) on this issue comes with the package
I am against partial birth abortion and live birth abortion even for rape or incest. I also believe that babies who survive an abortion should get help and protection (we can always improve how much help and protection we give them) even if they are conceived via rape or incest
I won't condemn the view that we may need to open a lot more abortion centers in the many poor areas across the country where there aren't a lot of or even any abortion clinics so poor women who want abortions who can't get access to them now can have easier access to them.
But at the same time, if that is to be the case, in those poor areas that don't have abortion clinics or don't have enough abortion clinics only, I would want some pro life centers (ie pregnancy crisis center) to be also be built not far from them, to offset this a bit (even if pro life centers that are deemed as leading more women who go to them to go through with their pregnancies). I'd also want those poor areas that get these abortion clinics (or additional abortion clinics) and pro life centers to get transformed into a It takes a village type area that is similar to this idea and Hillary Clinton's It takes a village type ideas. These programs would help all children in those areas live a happy, healthy, normal childhood.
I believe a unique solution to the abortion debate would be for women who want an abortion in the first or second trimester to instead have their unborn fetus transfered to an Artificial womb when that becomes viable in the future. That way, the unborn baby can still be born, but from a different (artificial) womb. This way the woman who doesn't want her child can transfer that unborn fetus to an artificial womb so the child still gets to be born (even if the child was conceived via rape or incest)
I also want insurance coverage of and public funding for family planning services to increase and be more available to families
I believe that only doctors should perform abortions, and that all abortion clinics should be regulated abortion clinics in order to keep patients safe
I lean pro life on aborting babies with Down Syndrome even in the first and second trimester. No matter what way we look at this issue there is something very concerning about aborting babies due to something like that. That is a very slippery slope
I support the Hyde Amendment because I am a Libertarian. Create funds so women who want an abortion can get an abortion
Since I am a youth rights activist I have to be against parental consent. But some adult close to the teen (ie teacher, parent of a friend) should have to give consent for a underage teen to get an abortion as an 'unwritten rule'
I support parental notification laws
I believe that kids should learn sex education before graduating elementary school and continue to learn it as preteens and teens. This would help kids, preteens and teens know not to become pregnant, to use common sense and have more anticonceptive access which should be easier for them to get.
I believe having sexual continence being taught voluntarily to teens and young people in off school classes in a way that isn't offensive to Christians is a decent solution
In addition, along with sex education, I'd also want kids, preteens and teens to to be taught a progressive, Christian Democratic form of abstinence (I am Pro Abstinence)
I believe that it should be illegal for employers to require their workers to be pro choice
I am against Justin Trudeau going after pro life charities and pro life groups. Trudeau is a fascist dictator for doing that and proves he is a hypocrite on abortion since he doesn't trust women to make their own decision.
I believe NGOs of the private government sector should require or coerce health care providers to offer free birth control but they should have at least some flexibility to opt out of this
I support birth control being legal
I don't feel a need to condemn Texas for their pro life law, I feel there is enough people condemning them for it and I would be piling on if I did so. I am upset about this in a different way. There would have been babies conceived if this pro life was never enacted that will never be conceived now since their mothers who would have conceived them if they had an abortion, won't have them since they will go through with their pregnancies due to this law. So I mourn the loss of what would have been life due to this anti life law
I want Texas to be forced to overturn their pro life law and then be forced to make abortion privatized (I only want privatized abortion to be legal in Texas).
We need to find cures for infertility
I support stem cell research but I hope a better , more humane method can be invented in the future to replace it
I am against Population control Population control is wrong, disgusting and evil. It is an assault on reproductive rights. The government has NO RIGHT to have any say in a persons sex life. Population control is a human rights violation (people have a right to procreate) This article echoes my thoughts on population control. I also support the ANTI Population control messages on buses in Canada in 2021.
Fem
I am a mix of Liberation Feminist and Anarcha Feminist
If feminism doesn't overcome Neoliberalism and Capitalism and break down the patriarchal system, it is incomplete and futile. We need to change the model of our system for people of all sexes/genders instead of having institutional parity for women. That is much better than parity and liberal feminism. If we do not change the model of accumulation, generation of wealth, how we distribute wealth, the value of work and the patriarchal system, we will not have justice and true equality for women
But there are a few feminist things that I am against (like feminists saying that that video game designer from Puerto Rico was misogynist or should be fired for his gamer gate comments or feminists downplaying the evil extremism of Valerie Solanas, feminists wanting to say 'awomen' or 'ahuman' instead of 'amen' or feminists complaining about urinals fringe things like that I disagree with feminists on)
I support Woman’s Power
I am a fan of 1980s yuppie feminism (like the yuppie feminism of Marcy on the first season of Married with Children)
Margaret Thatcher said it best “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.
Women should always get paid equally to men. I support income equality. Women bring compassion to the work place and it should be rewarded for it (maybe even by being paid more than men)
I support women's suffrage
I do not support some aspects of the Equal Rights Amendment. I don't believe there should be an equal amount of men and women players in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL,. I don't believe that Women's Shelters should be shut down or be shelters for all genders or similar things in the ERA. This is because until we defeat the patriarchy and in particular Neoliberalism, those changes will only be hollow since they would still be within an oppressive male patriarchal system
I would be between lenient toward and passive-open hearted lean ok with a matriarchal form of government that was structured similar to religious systems that uses a fusion of religion (ie Spiritual but not Religious including Christianity, the salvageable Christian adjacent parts of Rosicrucianism [that don’t conflict with Christianity] etc), transhumanism, science, etc in small communes especially in a Anarcho Monarchist societies
I celebrate the distinct choice of and have great respect for women who choose to be housewives and mothers (like many women in my own family and our family friends etc)
I celebrate the choice and have great respect for women who choose to be successful career women (like many women in my own family and our family friends etc)
Whatever they choose is equally valid. I love choice and free will
We need to pursue a firm campaign to reduce prostitution of young women by helping them not become prostitutes. I believe prostitution should be illegal for the buyer (but ideally should go to a prison that CEOs go to ie country club type prison but as it is now I am fine with them going to normal prison as long as they can work during the day like in Massachusetts in the 1980s). At worst just don't prosecute it but technically say its legal
Prostitution cheapens love and goes against the values of Christianity. Christ says sin no more if Prostitutes ask for forgiveness for their sin of Prostitution but he doesn't condone Prostitution .
However, if legalizing Prostitution would effectively end sex trafficking (or make it almost non existent) ,I'd be very open to legalizing Prostitution
That Slate columnist did nothing wrong by sharing tips about Wikipedia controversies with another reporter or by mentioning the relationship status of Anita S.
I do not agree with things in the Wikipedia article about Gender Bias on Wikipedia. In my opinion, no one is stopping women from becoming Wikipedia editors and writing articles about women or other subjects. It is just as easy for women to jump in and become regular Wikipedia editors as it is for men to do so
I was a Wikipedia user and part of Women in Red, Gender Gap Task Force for over a year where I helped improve female coverage in articles and helped all users out when they asked me to help them.
I am a anti sexual abuse activist. I also am a fan of Law and Order SVU as I feel it shows how to stop and prevent sexual abuse
There is nothing wrong with a husband or wife kissing their spouse or child on the head while they are sleeping.
While its good to see liberals in European stick up for Muslim refugees and migrants in Europe who are convicted of sexual abuse, I believe it would be hypocritical if they didn't get as much punishment as non Muslims get for sex crimes. However they should be voluntarily educated about sex crimes so there is no excuse.
MeToo is a hypocritical movement. There are also some negative aspects of it I have some issues with
Men's Issues
I am an aloof ally of the Revolutionary Progressive wing of the Left Wing Manosphere
I have pity for the documentary Red Pill and I can't say if I was in her situation I wouldn't have been sympathetic also
Chris Pratt's Instagram post about his wife was not sexist. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to get a clue.
Women can be hateful toward men. I don't care if its with or without 'societal backing' or 'power', anti male hatred is wrong just like Misgony and Sexism are wrong
I believe there is nothing wrong with men showing chivalry to women. Chivalry is not sexist.
I am more than ok with Masculine Feminism and have no issues with it.
Toxic Masculinity is toxic but I am not as harsh on it as some (or maybe even most) feminists and progressives are
I am against Male Chauvinism. Male Chauvinists are insecure, weak snowflakes who are afraid of women. They have mommy issues.
I am Archie Bunker toxically macho against a lot of non Earth sexes/genders of intelligent life extraterrestrials in other solar systems, galaxies and universes who are of a sex/gender that is not found on Earth. Archie Bunker toxically macho to toxically macho is what Archie Bunker bigoted is to bigoted
Relational Issues
In specific neighbor grudges between Democrat-Liberals and Republican-Conservatives, virtually all of the time, I retroactively and compassionately take the side of Democrats-liberals in those disputes with Republicans-conservatives.
I believe that we should find ways to make adopting children much easier than it is now and to strongly encourage more people to adopt children
I believe women shouldn't get as much penalties for domestic violence as men. Domestic violence penalties for men on women domestic abuse should be tough as it is now. But women don't have the power men have in society, and holding them to the same standards of domestic violence as men, would make it harder for women to defend themselves against their abusive husbands (since they'd think they would get in trouble for fighting back)
Some of my friends from years back became members of Promise Keepers. I believe that Promise Keepers are not a sexist (or if they are its due to ignorance) or a chauvinistic organization. They are right about more than a few things, and some things they are not right about. We can find some salvageable things about them
I believe that husbands should be actively involved in their families. They should treasure their wives. Husbands should be more confident, self assured and learn what it means to be a good husband.
I believe that Men's sports like Men's College Basketball and Olympic Men's Swimming should use a pre late 2000s or pre 2010s type of military recruit training for rookies and if they can't pass that training they are benched or released
I believe that Women's sports like Women's College Basketball and Olympic Women's Swimming should use 'boot camp' like training on rookies that includes long distance training (ie long distance running/swimming), higher endurance and aerobic training and female bonding training and if they can't pass those types of training they are benched or released
Men's sports leagues should create a separate league within those leagues (which uses the field-court layout and game rules of Men's sports leagues as opposed to Women's sports leagues) for women. These leagues would be called like NCAA Men's Basketball Women's Basketball Division/Troop/League or Olympic Men's Swimming Women's events. Similar to how within the Boy Scouts there is a Girl Scouts troop
This would be an alternative for female athletes who prefer to play using men's sports layouts and rules and or they either got released from their Women's sports teams or they want to play for different womens teams and want more options

Immigration (legal/illegal/refugees)
I am solidly not a fan of Open borders to say the very least
I support skilled immigration
We must defeat Neoliberalism to fix our broken migration system
I am ok with national unity. Migration is a good but is far from perfect (ymmv, but I don’t have a problem with it) .
Bicultruralist integration and or left wing assimilation is essential. People should be coherant to not allienate our country as to allow the government to keep the nation together. If we don’t do this it will divide the country , a nation divided against itself cannot stand (look at Canada for example).
I support gently encouraging as many illegal immigrants and migrants as possible to integrate like the Jews in France integrated according to The Jews of Modern France book by Paula Hyman if it could be done in an uplifting way
I support e-residency for non American citizens similar to e-residency that is done in Estonia but in a practical, common sense way as long as is seen as helping the migration/illegal immigration problem by both sides of the isle
I am against smugglers (like coyotes) smuggling in illegal immigrants into the US. I believe the US should extremely increase security to prevent those smugglers from that and to shut down their smuggling businesses
My issues with mass illegal immigration and endless legal migration is that we can barely afford to take care of our own people, at some point it becomes overwhelming to have to take care of a mass illegal immigrants and endless streams of legal migrants (and in rare times migrants in general). How can we take care of all these illegal immigrants (and in rare cases migrants in general) if our country is in the state that it is in now?
I really hope in the not so distant future that the Refugee Nation country will be created so all refugees around the world (who want to) can come and live there and have a place to call home and be accepted without having to worry about moving somewhere where they might not be a fit (rightly or wrongly) or who are too overwhelmed to properly care for them
The US must work in Central America to address the root causes of migration from Central America, to recognize that we don't need to sacrifice our humanity in the name of security. We also must work with Mexico to make sure that it takes its own border security seriously. Moreover, working with our neighbors to improve security across the region is an imporant component of any policy to promote prosperity and fairness in the hemisphere. A safe and secure region will lead to a safer, more secure United States.
Like other liberals, I also believe that the US also must engage with countries like Mexico and in Central America to address the causes that cause them to migrate to the US illegally
I am against closed borders as much as the next guy/girl but I have yet to hear a counter argument for the pro closed border argument of indirect international humanitarian cosmopolitanism from this article. That is why , deep down inside, I sympathize with Left Wing Europeans advocating for very strong borders and being anti migrant but I don’t really agree with them either since I am pro migrant.
We need to help address the concerns of those Left Wing anti migrant Europeans in a way that doesn't compromise our values (in sort of a compromising way that fuses together Democratic Centralist type compromise with the type of compromise that Hillary Clinton/Joe Biden and mainstream Democrats made or tried to make for Bernie Sanders and his supporters in 2016 with the 2016 DNC platform and during Joe Biden’s presidency)
I am against deporting illegal immigrants for virtually any reasons because I am not a fan of any Americans, legal or illegal emigrating from the US at all. Americans emigrating from the US to other countries saddens me because I miss Americans when they emigrate to another country like I miss my family and friends when they die
If more Americans stay in the US and don't move emigrate (i.e less Americans move to other countries), it can help increase the integration of migrants (legal and illegal) within the US, which can only be a positive for everybody
Churches shouldn't snitch on illegal immigrants
Crony Capitalism and Neoliberalism in general wrongly causes companies to exploit migrants, so if we overcome Crony Capitalism and Neoliberalism it will help migrants too.
Illegal immigrants and refugees don't commit more or less crime/violent crime than legal citizens.
I believe that migrants to the US should learn English
Immigrants can move to Japan but they can't become Japanese, immigrants can move to Turkey but they can't become Turkish but immigrants can move to America and be American. Any viewpoint to the right of the above viewpoint is unacceptable
I am against illegal immigrants getting free health care
A few of my other views on migration/illegal migration etc match a fusion of the Bush's Centers views on migration/illegal migration
I am ok with the Zapatistas
I am against NAFTA
I support the Jeremy Corbyn version of Brexit
I am a Euroskeptic
Mark Twain wrote “ Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime” Which means that travel allows people to stop being bigoted and xenophobic and instead focus their fears on things that are truly scary and a threat to us
Ethnicity/Race
I feel that Equality is better than Equity . People should only be judged by the manner of which they act and not by their identity or who they are
I support economic egalitarianism , especially in Wages, Healthcare and Education that will help all people, including BIPOC+ but in this type of way. This is because these type of methods are better than race reductionist methods and are more inclusive than regular class reductionist methods
Racial-Ethnic discrimination not only negatively effects BIPOC+ but is bad to working class people of all stripes as any discrimination practices between demographic sections of the working class cause a very divisive practice hurting the development of working class consciousness , creating barriers to class unity to take away attention from class exploitation which bolsters the rich
I am against Asian students being discriminated against in colleges ,in particular in admissions by ivy league colleges. Colleges should stop discriminating against Asian students. I support the lawsuit against Yale
I support racial and ethnic harmony but I also passively condone white grievance politics as an instinctive defense mechanism against successor ideology woke racial and ethnic conflict
I am not woke, and I really don't like it at all (but almost in an agree to disagree sort of way)
While some woke people say this is misguided: https://medium.com/@soumynona_/anonymous-letter-from-uc-berkeley-professor-in-response-to-black-lives-matter-protests-24a66a6f1ca7 I can't tell really see how it is, and in fact I sort of agree with the points in that letter as I feel what that writer wrote is totally plausible and hard to deny or counter.
I am against Rectification.
The Left Authoritarians (especially Anarkiddies) use Rectification to force people via public shaming to believe and say false things and lies, seemingly against their will and that is wrong. You catch more flies with honey than you do with hate
The Left Authoritarians also brainwash people using Rectification into believing those false things and lies, and that is also wrong. You catch more flies with honey than you do with hate
I have never and I will never apologize for being white. It is fine to be any race or ethnicity. Being any race or ethnicity is NOT wrong or evil
I would tell the extremely rare ‘woke’ extremists who say that whites need to die (or be aborted) to advance the black cause, that they are wrong, evil and should be confronted and maybe even canceled for those appalling and dehumanizing thoughts.
Whites should NOT die or be aborted to advance the black cause (if even one woke person says they do that is one too many for me). ALL Lives (White Lives, Black Lives, Asian Lives, Indigenous Lives, Hispanic Lives etc) Matter equally (to have equality there must be equality)
We need to confront and counter hate against any race-ethnicity wherever and whenever we see it in a Christian way, without fighting hate with hate. When we confront these bigots we should tell those bigots to Give Peace a Chance, we should help liberate those bigots from their fear and hate by our presence, we should help those bigots see good in others instead of judging them (by their willingness to do so it will subconsciously bring it forth), we should let our light shine to unconsciously give bigots permission to do the same
Sure, blacks and other minorities should get higher priority in terms of protection against discrimination/hate since they are minorities and being a minority sadly leaves them open to being marginalized as history has shown consistently, but their lives are equal to every other race-ethnicities’ lives (including whites)
Sorry if I triggered anyone through me saying this, it's just me hearing some ‘woke’ extremists go off the deep end like I wrote above and a few paragraphs above forces me to feel this way and speak like this. I am still evolving politically so we'll see if I am able to control myself and not go off the deep end anymore one day and instead be more diplomatic/nice about it
Every race-ethnicity, nation, people, and human on Earth are equal to each other and have their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and possesses the sovereign right to live wherever they want. Race and sex have nothing to do with who or what we are. We’re all created equal. I believe that every life has value, and all people have equal value.
I condemn Liberals/Progressives/Democrats being racist against Black conservatives like Winsome Sears, Candace Owens, Kaitlyn Bennett's friend Natalie, Tim Scott, Black Trump supporters etc. Just because they are not on our side, doesn't mean they are any less BIPOC+ than BIPOC+.
This article gives good insight to just how misguided, hateful, bigoted and appalling the fringe of the fringe of the modern Democrat party is for BIPOC+ . Unlike other Democrats ,Liberals and Progressives, I condemn those misguided, hateful, bigoted and appalling attacks they got by the fringe of the fringe of the Democrats
I don't have a public position on BLM.
I am morally (moral as in moral victory) supportive of the Black Hammer Organization and the pro black rights activism of Beness Aijo and his allies
I am intuitively very much tolerant of the Black Liberation Army and New Black Panther Party
I know that many good hearted liberals/progressives/SJWs were and are members of BLM, but the fringe of BLM (or even the near fringe of BLM at times) do things which are convenient to look the other way on yet clearly wrong .
Because those particular BLM members doing those type of things that even Keshia Lance Bottoms, Kamala Harris and some former BLM who are still liberal/progressive etc would/have criticized BLM for, distorts the reality of BLM's plight (due to those actions of the fringe and at times near fringe) thus reducing the effectiveness of BLM in my opinion
BLM's protests do bring out the far right and alt right provocateurs/counter protestor trolls so if non BLM members enjoy seeing chaos, BLM protests are the place to be due to far right and alt right provocateurs/counter protestor trolls. Moreover, with groups like BLM protesting, it creates chaos, and as Lord Baelish from Game of Thrones says 'Chaos is a ladder' which can create an opening for us Left wing to overtake the Democrat Party and push REAL left wing policies to be put into law
BLM protesters also are against the politically correct national globalism that I loathe so I can't get upset they are protesting those type of things so that would be a silver lining
I was and still am against Larry Hogan calling the National Guard on the Baltimore protestors. It was a bad call and I was pretty much open minded to being sympathetic-open hearted to those BLM protestors and their 'we the people' movement (even though I don't have a public position on BLM)
I am pleasantly surprised (in a good way) and encouraged seeing BIPOC+ and BLM protesting against the police state since I am also against the police state
I am between glad that and condone Indigenous protestors and BLM protestors rebelling and protesting against the Neoliberal (Capitalist) state since I am against Neoliberalism/Capitalism
I am an affiliate of A.N.S.W.E.R .
In particular I support A.N.S.W.E.R fighting for SSI (since I rely on that), protesting against endless wars by warmongers and neocons, protesting against some forms of Zionism that are extreme and similar things. If I was a migrant or illegal I'd believe their fight for migrant rights is great . I'd want A.N.S.W.E.R to help left wing xenophobes have their issues dealt with in a way which is dignifying but is fair. I also condone A.N.S.W.E.R's antiracist activism even though I am not an antiracist myself
Secoriea Turner was an innocent victim of a murderer and that murderer who killed her should go to prison for at 20 years. Turner is in the afterlife/heaven now.
I do not support the CRT and I don't believe that it should be taught in k-12 schools due to it being a reactionary move due to the unrest situations. I feel the CRT is too far left, and many liberals and progressives have criticized it from the left. There are other ways to teach such things without poing conservative or liberal non woke parents. Over 70 percent of Americans are against the CRT being taught in schools.
But since I am a Libertarian, I won't stop it from being taught. Parents have a right to peacefully complain about the CRT at school board meetings. But if parents don't at least try to get on school boards to stop the CRT from being taught from within, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Parents who harass, argue or go after teachers at school board meetings are NOT domestic terrorists or terrorists.
I won't argue with the view that the system of white supremacy is a cross class alliance between rich whites and working class whites. I am sure there is at least a little truth in that
I believe that BIPOC+ can be prejudiced against whites
I have no issues with the CRT housing policies at the VA or at colleges like Williams College. Nor do I have issues with the black graduations (though I don't like the concept of graduation ceremonies in the first place . I skipped my high school graduation because I hate graduations)
Sometimes blacks want these type of policies to maintain a networks of communalism through these sorts of CRT policies at the VA, graduations or colleges which promote accultaration and help blacks feel solidarity with each other in these times they perceive as less than ideal.
I also have no issues with specific woke things like the Families of Color Playground Night in Colorado ONLY if it is done for the reasons that the school said The school said that sometimes with things like the Families of Color Playground night, black families push for things like that in order to feel more included in their school communities. Many black families at said types of schools don't often get to see each other except drop off and pick up so these type of events would nourish those relationships between them which would lift up those communities. It's important to hear the concerns of blacks in such matters. The libertarian in me also wouldn't want to stop them from doing this, as we already have enough government intrusion in schools, to have non woke politicians try to stop that would be too much
I don't believe that the 1619 Project should be taught in schools
I do believe BIPOC+ need outside the box teaching methods to help them get ahead, not woke teaching methods. the stuff below makes a below average start, but we need much better teaching methods for BIPOC+
I support Advance Math being taught in schools from 1st to 12th grade. I also support advanced students being skipped ahead a grade. Many BIPOC+ would be hampered by not being able to be skipped ahead
I am against Equitable Math being taught in schools. Math is not racist and there is no systematic racism in teaching Math.
I support Standarized Testing and the SAT
Oral Roberts should not be penalized in any way shape or form for the views of their founder. Anyone who says otherwise is a troll
Students in charter schools should not be required by anyone to take ethnic studies classes in high school. It's their RIGHT to not take that course and the government has NO RIGHT to require students to take such course. Governors should not be deciding what kids in school are taught or not taught
I am a fan of Assata Shakur. I may not agree with her on every issue but I respect her intelligence, honesty, passion and bravery. Her wokeness was totally inoffensive in the 1970s, mainly because it was of a childlike want of an ideal society for her and her people. Assuming she is really innocent, she a victim of injustice and that is wrong. If she did do murder, there is no defense but she deserves a second chance since no one is perfect. She paid her penalty by being exiled
I am morally (as in moral victory) ok with blacks in the US receiving reparations for slavery.
I am morally ok with this because it is like the US government symbolically going back in time and undoing the injustices blacks were subjected to under the dehumanizing bondage of 19th century Capitalism and Capitalism's bourgeois ruling class Fascism from the 17th century through the mid 19th century.
This gives blacks in the US a fresh and equal reboot (due to that symbolic gesture of repartitions). They should have had a fresh and equal start from the get go in the US like whites did from the get go in the US
Capitalism has always wrongfully treated humans as property in order for the bourgeois ruling class fascists to make a profit at the expense of their workers. Above we see that extreme laissez faire early form Capitalism and its senseless indefensible actions mentioned which has since transformed into newer, more subtle but still totally condemnable forms of dehumanizing bondage and treating humans as property which still permeates through our society today and has led to Recessions, Depressions, wars and similar social ills.
Capitalism and the bourgeois (and all classism and fascism) needs to be abolished (or if a better system can't be found heavily reformed via Social Democracy) for all people in all countries to be truly free and live in a truly equal world. Capitalism is generally a bad system because it is easy to abuse and it is anti worker (as mentioned above)
I support Interracial marriage
I am glad that the Interracial couple forced the Supreme Court to legalize Interracial marriage. That Interracial couple who did that are the true heroes for millions of married Interracial couples since then
I am against anti white speech and anti white jokes. We need to stop anti white speech and anti white jokes now so that they never become normalized ever but in a way that doesn't leave us open to being labeled 'racist'
I feel as an alternative for hate crime laws, the police could take every white racist charged of a hate crime toward blacks and instead of putting them in prison, drop them in the night into a dangerous area with BIPOC+ gangs with a sign that says their hate crime they committed. This way those black gangs can give those white racists the punishment they deserve. If they survive those beat downs, then we can just put them in prison (without the hate crime sentence added to it).
White people don't make up the majority of mass shooters and statistics back this up. No race or ethnicity commits more mass shootings than any other race or ethnicity .
Blaming whites for everything is annoying and is getting old. At some point people have to look within when finding blame for their problems. We live in an unjust world.
Anti white 'conspiracy theorists' are wrong, very ignorant and sad
I don't believe that the National Anthem or any anthem should be played at sporting events
I tolerate non blacks kneeling during the Black National Anthem just like I tolerate blacks kneeling during the regular National Anthem. I respect the rights of protest
Colin Kaepernick is not playing in the NFL because defenses figured his gimmick out, not because of racism or any vendetta against him. Colin's played dropped off after Jim Harbaugh left, and in his last season, his 'good' stats weren't good enough to help the 49ers even make the playoffs. The most important stat is wins and losses. I guess quarterbacks who had similarly short careers with similar stats and win loss records to Colin are also a victim of racism or a vendetta
I am a Civic Nationalist who blurs the line of being a Human Nationalist. A Human Nationalist views the human species on Earth in comparison to a lot of intelligent life extraterrestrial species in other solar systems, galaxies and universes the same way that White Nationalists on Earth view the White race-ethnicity in comparison to non white races-ethnicities on Earth
I view and speak about a lot of intelligent life extraterrestrial species in other solar systems, galaxies and planets in the same exact bigoted, offensive and ignorant way that Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk and similar far right pundits bigotedly, ignorantly and offensively view and speak about BLM , woke blacks, etc in the 2020s
I view a lot of intelligent life extra terrestrial races in other solar systems, galaxies and universes who are of a race that is not found on Earth (even if they are human) the same way that the Know Nothing Party in the US viewed the Jewish people in the 19th century.
I would feel more comfortable around all Earthlings of all race-ethnicities than I would feel around intelligent life extraterrestrials of most races-ethnicities in other solar systems, galaxies and universes that are of a race-ethnicity that is not found on Earth (even if they are human)
Youth rights
I am a Youth rights activist
I support school choice (ie vouchers) for various reasons
I support charter schools and homeschooling
I believe that school truancy should be decriminalized
Homework is a good concept and I support homework always being part of going to school. It's always good however to get less homework. People who complain about homework being 'racist' are probably racist themselves and lazy to boot
Suspension for students is not ideal because students who are suspended are left at home, often unsupervised during school hours.
Suspension is like a reward for students. Furthermore, they miss valuable class time being suspended. One alternative for suspension is for students to attend school from 8:30 am to noon Saturday and or Sunday for each day of the suspension.
Experts rule our lives and politics. Most Intellectuals are first and foremost narcissists. They violate the assumptions of fiscal things because they themselves believe “if we just all do this then this will happen”. They apply that logic to every person (while ignoring the aggregation problem virtually) and they get published for a great deal of cred within their echo chamber. Academia has become a group of people that mostly agree with one another, that held up by a massive grad student stanboy base who are also mostly narcissists and just want a PhD to increase their self worth
I believe that the Tuttle Twin books should be taught somewhere in schools and in school library book drives and the libraries themselves throughout the US and Canada
I believe we might need to 'reimagine' at least some parts of Academia . To quote a famous 19th century writer "I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first two thousand people listed in the Boston phone book than to the faculty of Harvard University"
I support this type of home based enterprise child work that is in the link below (as long as its voluntary) and only if the children are over 8, they get their school work done like child actors and child actresses do, they get paid more than adults , and their college and grad school is automatically paid for through these jobs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Child_Labor_in_United_States_1912a.jpg
I believe the national driving age in the US should be lowered to 15
Child values
I believe kids should be respectful to their parents, teachers and adults. People should ways be polite and not lie ever
I believe that all kids should read the Tuttle Twins books since those books teach great lessons for kids.
I am against the 'Everybody gets a trophy culture' It make it hard for kids who become adults to deal with adversity
I believe children who misbehave should be very lightly spanked (in a new age/postmodern sort of way) and punished (time outs).
Disabled
I am neutral to indifferent on Terri's Law
IP
I like people BECAUSE they are different, whether it's because they don't celebrate their birthday, they don't wear tennis shoes, they are a minority, they are homosexual/lesbian, they are transgender etc. I don't like everyone being or looking the same, hence why I have this viewpoint
I toxically love diversity. I toxically love seeing LGBTQ+, BIPOC+, women etc get as much visibility as heteros, whites and men. That shakes things up, adds new elements (like a salad bowl), and makes things less boring and predictable.
I want Anarchists to cultivate harmony between certain anarchist ideologies and to unite against the state
Anarchists have rightfully overthrown elite ruling classes, oppressive empires and states and should unite under than precept. Anarchy should be restored to the way it was in the late 19th century and early 20th century for me to embrace other forms of it besides the few I embrace now
At times, I hate being an American and hate America (mostly due to the far right/center right)
Successor ideology is wrong because it is toxic and because it shames , bullies and threatens instead of fostering debate
I fully support the European Union and I hope that the European Union continues to expand and add more countries to it (maybe even the US) and where the European Union uses a federated state model for its countries similar to the federal states model of the US (like a United Provinces of the European Union). This would mean no. border checks between European Union countries (since there are no border checks between states n the US) .I would like to see the currency of the EU become more universalized.
I have no issues with the European Union using sanctions, war or other methods to get other countries to comply with them (since the European Union has a unique nature to it and thus its fine for such a unique organization to use said methods).
One critique I have of Nationalisms is the whole National Memory make up of Nationalism. Nations change and many forms of Nationalism that seek to shove our history down our throat (i.e Garden of Heroes nonsense, Memorial Day or Patriots Day etc), makes me anathemic to a lot to most forms of Nationalism. Fascists snd the far right ruined Nationalism
However, I believe that the nation is defined as the totality of persons bound together through a common destiny into a community of character. To me, national identity is not necessarily obstructive toward class consciousness, existing as a useful praxis for the self determination of the worker. The issues with National identity (within a capitalist society) was not national identify itself but really the tendency of the lower classes to cling to traditions which tether them to the institutions of the old bureaucratic and capitalistic systems in addition to nationality being conceived of exclusive racial/ethnic and territorial means
I feel that the notions of territorial principle can be substituted in situations where minority populations risked being subjugated by majorities. We can use Karl Renner's notion of the "personal principle" as a way of gathering the geographically divided people of the same nation. The personal principle can be used to organize nations not in territorial bodies but in a simple association of persons. This would radically disjoin a nation from its territory thus creating a non territorial associated nation. It is important to doing way with sub national territorial identities as undemocratic and allowing for the treatment of non majority populations within each nation that Karl Renner wrote about here
Basically, the nation should be conceived as an evolutionary process via open, plural and political construction
Our great culture we have today originated in Greece, Persia, Egypt and with the Cherokee peoples (to name a few). Free Democracy was born out of that and spread to almost the whole world.
Like every socialist movement had essential components of nationalism.
I am a Christian American Liberty Patriot
I am a pragmatic Left Wing Nationalist . I want Left Wing Nationalism to lead to a mixed economic system based on my combined socioeconomic views
I am a auxilary indirect supporter of National Anarchism (since it is an Anti Racialization concept)
I support solidarity and liberation which will lead to a classless society (Marxian inspired) without hierarchy. This is a natural progression. If we need to use Far Left National Liberalism to reach that point of getting to that classless society without a hierarchy, I guess we' need Far Left National Liberalism to do so as a necessary evil.
I very much support National personal autonomy
I am ok with Arab Nationalism
I do not support Identity politics as I feel it takes away individuality.
I am a NCUNSCCIIABAN (I am a 'NATO countries-UN Security council countries Identarian in all but a name)
I compassionately pity Intersectionality and see it as hipster cool. But I am not down with it
As an alternative to Identity politics and Intersectionality: As a country, we should have a high sense of patriotic and cultural responsibility for the welfare of less fortunate people. This gives us a cause to fight for as long as this doesn't develop into Identity politics and Intersectionality.
I am a Civic Nationalist who blurs the line of being a Cultural Nationalist (especially American Nationalist)
I do not want the US to lose its national identity in a way where the US culture is unrecognizable to what it traditionally is. Otherwise why have a country at all? We should share our common historical solidarity
I am not a fan of most forms of Pan Nationalism per say because pan nationalists want to get rid of our unique cultures. But I support specific forms of Pan Nationalism
I am willing to become open minded to becoming a Trotskyist at some point in the future since Trotskyism is a gateway ideology to MUCH better political ideologies
Nationalism has too much baggage for me to support. It is unremarkable. It is less bad than Globalizationism and Transnational Progressiveness
But there are better forms of non Liberal/non Left Wing/non Civic Nationalism than Nationalism like Internationalist Nationalism, Diaspora Nationalism, Theodore Roosevelt's New Nationalism etc
Pim Fortuyn List (LPF) is too far right for me to support. Pim Fortuyn List (LPF) is less bad than Globalizationism, Imperialism and Transnational Progressiveness
I would be open minded to supporting Pim Fortuyn List (LPF) if it came back and was strengthened by Transnational Labor Nationalism fused with Third Way policies
I am against Western Chauvinism. I am an anti Western Chauvinist
I strongly don't support White Nationalism (and I approve of the way that Republicans like Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy etc in the past few years condemned White Nationalism)
White Nationalism is deplorable, ignorant garbage. White Nationalists should stop being White Nationalists. I am very upset that people are being brainwashed to be White Nationalists and because White Nationalism is moving into the mainstream. We need to unbrainwash White Nationalists so they stop being that way and we need to stop White Nationalism from being mainstreamed before it's too late. I hate seeing underground things get mainstreamed, brainwashing one mindless zombie at a time, especially evil things like White Nationalism.
I support something that is in between a fusion of a diverse multicultural system that had global cultural diversity , melting pot assimilation, anti gentrification and cultural (including spiritual) religious pluralisms (like in Final Fantasy I) and less transiency at the national level while being anti ultranationalist with a Left Wing version of this diverse multicultural system and One Nation Labour
I do not support regular multiculturalism since it tends to delude some aspects of culture a bit
I support pluralism
We should be devoted with patriotic love of our country and all people and culture within our country so we get stronger as a country and at the same time inspire that patriotic love for other countries as well for their own people and culture so they too can get stronger as a country
I am fine with Hoppeanist covenants since I am Libertarian and Hoppeanist covenants are Libertarianism on steroids (would be great to exclude one word Communists and Neolibersls from communities)
One idea I came up with is for the US to stop being a traditional country and instead transform the US into a fusion of Democratic Confederalism and a Communitarian Nomadic Empire (similar to a reformed Inca Empire on the move) and thus have open borders. This way ,people would form natural communities throughout the Nomadic Empire US based on their connections to said communities. Moreover, their social idenities and personalities would be molded by their community relationships with some individiualism thrown into the mix.
Migrants to the Nomadic Empire US would form and find their own Communiatarian communies in this Nomadic Empire US based on shared values. Eventually after decades or centuries of this, creating new districts (ie lining) around these new communities would be done to better reflect a new sort of cultural cohesion along with possibly brining back the US as we know it is today. This would be appealing to Left Wing patriots in that they would have their own communities and could form alliances with other communities that match their values while not being forced to live in a foreign land within their own country.
SJW/CC/PC
I am Anti Revisionist
I am against cancel culture
We should always move forward while reasonably learning from the past as to not make the same mistakes in the future. This is one reason that I am against censorship
I believe that political correctness was created in good intentions (as a lot of bad things are), but is often overused, misused, or taken way out of context (understatement of the century and to say the very least). I use PC methods to combat PC ,not IDW methods (but I agree a lot with the IDW on the negatives of political correcntess). But f that. political correctness and SJWism has caused me to be angry and depressed. I cannot put into words how much I loathe PC and SJWism so here are some links to reflect my thoughts:
I align with IDWers like Dave Rubin, Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson etc on things

I can understand why BIPOC+ get offended by non pc things since some things may dehumanize them and their history. But fighting back through SJWism and pcism using the same methods that were used to offend them with those offensive things, is keeping that non pcism that offended them going but with the targets reversed. The only way to counter this is to limit the PC movement since the future matters more than the past.
I am between pity and sensitive to right wing SJWs but I want to help them not get mad at our side by explaining to them why us Leftists do what we do and to give nuance and context to them so those right wing SJWs can stop being triggered and move on to something else. I have Center Center right (Right wing outside of the US) SJW views on drugs and political correctness
I am against colleges (such as the ones in this linke https://www.biznews.com/undictated/2021/06/14/woke-backlash) restricting freedom of speech and being far left extremists
A lot of the 'offensive' things people consider offensive is really Blue and Orange morality
There is NOTHING offensive about the 1964 Rudolph Red Nosed Reindeer movie
There is NOTHING offensive about Sam Malone's actions toward women in Cheers. He is a sex addict and he needs help.
There is NOTHING offensive about using these terms: blind alley, blind side, blindspot, grandfathered in, lame, long time no see, psyched. There is nothing wrong with the word crazy being used in pop culture to name things to name things (like Cameron Crazies, the rapper Krazy, the song Crazy in Love by Beyonce, Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle etc). There is nothing wrong with using the word lunatic being used in pop culture to name things (like Lunatic's Pandora in FF VIII, or the name Looney Tunes etc)
There is NOTHING offensive about having Libyans as bad guy terrorists in Back to the Future
There is NOTHING offensive or wrong about George and Lorraine McFly hiring Biff to work for them as an employees (in the good ending of Back to the Future) 30 years after Biff's actions toward Lorraine in 1955 when they were high school students
There is NOTHING offensive about the term 'black ice'
THERE IS NOTHING OFFENSIVE ABOUT BUGS BUNNY EATING CARROTS
There is NOTHING offensive about the name Clown Face Nebula. Not one person would possibly be offended by that name (who the fuck would be offended by that term? clowns? the nebula itself? GTFO with that junk)
I support keeping the Christopher Columbus statues up but with a note on it listing all of the atrocities he committed, oyherwise knock them down, I don’t care for plaques or statues
There is nothing offensive about someone being named Dixie
I don't find the Richard Dawson Family Feud offensive or wrong. It's annoying but not because of his actions toward the female contestants but due to it taking up too much time each episode and being annoying
There is NOTHING offensive about the 1960s TV series Get Smart
There is NOTHING offensive about calling Roma people Gypsies . They will always be known as Gypsies to me
There is NOTHING offensive about Italian Ice being called Italian Ice
There is NOTHING offensive about the Maude tv series
There is NOTHING offensive about the McGruff Crime Dog (1980s 1990s etc)
There is NOTHING offensive about the New York Yankees being called the New York YANKEES. It is a traditional name, and it so engrained with that team that anyone who even thinks of changing it should be beamed by a 200 mph fastball
There is nothing offensive about how Angelica showed tough love to the other babies in the 1990s Rugrats series
There is nothing offensive about The Donger character from Sixteen Candles, but I respect the views of people who don't see it that way (since they look at things differently in that case)
THERE IS NOTHING offensive about the Prince kissing Sleeping Beauty while she is sleeping to wake her up. That is not date rape. It is totally inoffensive
Disney should not have censored Daryl Hannah's tits/breasts in that scene in Splash. That scene should never have exposed her tits/breasts in the first place but they did expose them so they shouldn't be censored by Disney
There is NOTHING offensive about the Splash Mountain Disney ride
I want the Cleveland Guardians to be named the Black Sox (after the Black Sox scandal), Clowns, Loggers, Highlanders, Whalers,
I want the Edmonton Elks to be renamed the Edmonton Islanders, Edmonton Pets, Edmonton Rudolphs (after the 1964 Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer movie), Edmonton Tiger-Bulldogs
Edy's Pie should be renamed to the Algonquian--Montagnais words that sound very similar to Eskimo and that were used by some Native people in the Arctica area (ie the Mi'kmaq people) to refer to snowshoe netter or to net snowshoes (instead being called Edy's Pie). The name would be to refer to Canadians of all races and ethnicities who live in very snowy areas or who love engaging in snow activities like snow shoeing and would have nothing to do with Native people. Or they should rename their product Polar Pie
I want the Toronto Argonauts to be named the name in this link
I want the Washington Commanders to be renamed the Bullets, Maroons, Vigilantes or Bombers
I want to get SETI to blast these UNCENSORED (ie UN POLITICALLY CORRECT) media to intelligent life extraterrestrials in other solar systems, galaxies and universes so they can be fans of these things without PCness ruining it for them Baby it's Cold Outside (Dean Martin song), North (1994 movie directed by Rob Reiner), all Pepe le Pew cartoons (UNCENSORED) , the original Lady and the Tramp cartoon , Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer (1964 movie), the puking scene in Ace Ventura Pet Detective , A Cat in the Hat Comes Back
I want to get intelligent life extraterrestrials in other solar systems, galaxies and universes to name their sports teams these names: Huns and Chiefs. I also want to get those intelligent life extraterrestrials in other solar systems, galaxies and universes to create some pro wrestling characters similar to Tatanka, Akeem, Big Bossman and Mr Fuji
There is nothing wrong with people dressing up for cosplay or in costumes for Harvest in ways that perpetuate gender norms or gender stereotypes. In fact I RECOMMEND that people dress up in cosplay and for Harvest in costumes (if I can't get them to stop celebrating Harvest/Helloween) in ways that perpetuate gender norms and gender stereotypes as a way to FU SJWs
If people from the US/Canada went to Mars, another planet or space, I would be fine with them dressing up as Native Americans on those extraterrestrial planets. I support people from Earth doing cultural appropriation only when it is done in space or on other planets. I am Radically Christian Democratic on people from Earth doing cultural appropriation on Earth
I am generally against cultural appropriation for my classic liberal reasons
Crime
I used to support NYC’s Stop and Frisk but now I do not. I do support a fusion of https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/city-hall/story/2012/04/two-guys-from-yale-offer-an-alternative-to-stop-and-frisk-003498, Community Based policing, Red flag crime laws and Distributed sensing and virtual patrols, Artificial data and predictive policing fused with a center center right version of Stop and Frisk
This guy was already on lifetime parole and would have been under stricter supervision awaiting his trial, so putting him prison while awaiting his trial is overkill and unneeded
I support lower crime
I support more diligence
I am against a lot of consensual crime laws (but not most) and I feel Anarchists and other Left wing (and some moderate Right wingers) need to make that a bigger thing to fight against in the future
I am against the police state but I also keep an open mind to the progressive parts of the Blue Lives Matter movement. I also think that Cops tv show real life policing would make a unique private security force in an Anarcho Left Rothbardian society for government adjacent agencies
I believe we need to prevent white supremacist/racist infiltration in the law enforcement agencies but do so in a way that does not label our law enforcement agencies as white supremist or racist.
I am open minded to being open hearted about the police in the US being like the Japanese's National Police Agency in all ways since they are one of the best police in the world.
I feel outsourcing select issues away from the police to non police specialists should be something to consider at some point in the future (ie drug councilors stepping in for the police on drug related crimes, rape councilors stepping in for the police on rape reports where the perp isn't on scene, and domestic violence councilors stepping in for police on domestic violence cases etc).
But I'd only support this IF this outsourcing system included having the non police specialists/councilors alert the friends of the victims of non drug crimes to go along with the non police specialists/councilors to the crime scene to help the victims. This would allow for example the friends of the victims to kick the snot out of the domestic abusers or rapists with immunity from arrest to offset no police being on site or the police coming in whenever the outsourcing the police advocates say the police would come in
Drugs
I believe that synthetic Marijuana should be semi criminalized for rec use and medical use.
I am between mixed and morally (as in moral victory) against non synthetic Marijuana being legalized. I would be more than empathetic to non synthetic Marijuana being legalized only if non synthetic Marijuana is ONLY able to be done in private and not allowed to be done in theme parks, airports, concerts, malls, stores, conventions, schools, movie theaters, and similar public places
I do support non synthetic Marijuana inhaling and injecting stations being built throughout the US so non synthetic Marijuana users who need to do non synthetic Marijuana can legally do non synthetic Marijuana with trained medical professionals etc nearby (like in Vancouver BC, but for non synthetic Marijuana only). Basically sanctuaries for non synthetic Marijuana users
I support non synthetic Marijuana being decriminalized since so many people use it, it is impractical to try to stop it and put all of those people in prison
I am against Fentanyl, Crack , Crystal Meth, Purple Haze, LSD and Heroin being legalized or decriminalized
I can live with and maybe even pretty much tolerate Cocaine (non Crack) being as free ,legal and commonly available as it was in the US from the 1880s through the 1920s (like cocaine being sold legally in neighborhood drugstores/drug stores, saloons, mail-order vendors, and even in grocery stores). I can also live with and maybe even tolerate Cocaine being in cigs, cheroots, inhalants, crystals, Coca Cola and other soda pops just like back then
I am also ok with semi legalizing Greenies, Mushrooms, St John's Wart, and possibly Xanax/Valium for rec use only if it could be done practically and in a bipartisan way
Subconsciously I am somewhat open hearted to be decriminalizing Codeine
I believe MLB players etc should be able to do steroids and not be suspended for them. I am ok with steroids being legalized. If everyone has access to steroids, it isn't cheating (otherwise you'd have to say that Jerry Rice 'cheated' during his NFL career because he used a unique training regiment to get better)
We should also bring back the Just Say No anti drug campaign (but modernize it a bit). I do not want people to use Marijuana (synthetic or non synthetic), Fentanyl, Crack, Heroin, LSD for rec use ever (unless they can give me a really good reason why). I want people to be drug free (except for Cocaine, Concerta-Ritalin, Adderall, St John's Wart, and Valium-Xanax)
Users convicted of doing Fentanyl, Purple Haze, Crack, LSD and Heroin should go to prison but be transferred to house arrest and then a suspended sentence, easier and pretty much earlier so as a whole they would serve somewhat to slightly less time 'imprisoned' than they do usually for those crimes
I am fine with Fentanyl, LSD and Heroin users being sentenced to mandatory minimum sentences as long as they are sentenced to a choice between Wilderness Therapy and Periodic detention then after Wilderness Therapy/Periodic detention they are transferred to technological incarceration and then finally to parole
Guns
I support the gun control that the old NRA implemented from the late 19th century through the mid 20th century.
http://web.archive.org/web/20190301235822/https://www.amazon.com/Gunfight-Battle-Over-Right-America/dp/0393345831/?tag=timecom-20
http://web.archive.org/web/20190301235822/https://time.com/4431356/nra-gun-control-history/
It was needed back then and it helped break our country transition out of the 'wild west' type gun ho/toting mentality to a relatively more gun responsible society
I even support some other pro gun control NRA like groups from back then
I would get a oscillating score of E (Fail/Excellent) and a fluid grade of B half minus from the late 19th century through mid 20th century NRA and a Sufficient-B grade from the mid 2010s NRA. I support gun rights for Libertarian reasons
One reason I generally support gun rights is because gun rights help gay people defend themselves against homophobes
I am personally against guns, I'd prefer people use bows, yumis and crossbows instead of guns but I still respect the 2nd Amendment. ANTIFA is pro gun as I am, so if you attack me for being pro gun, you have to attack ANTIFA for that as well. Liberal gun owners reddit has more fellow Liberals who support gun control
I am fine with gun bans, since people can just take legal guns and customize them to be more powerful than illegal guns.
I support teachers having guns to protect their classrooms and people bringing their guns to work. But I also am ok with DC's gun laws and Australia's gun laws. I do love Lauren Boebert's gun toting xmas portrait, since she looked hot
I am against the 2018 March for your life protests. It was all a side show, unhelpful and divisive. Those kids don't have enough life experience to protest guns. Shame on them
It's wrong the US government supplied Northern Mexico with guns. That lead to a lot of deaths there, we should work with Mexican migrants not against them.
Animal rights
I support Animal Welfare. Animals shouldn't have their fur be used for any purpose (they should keep their fur). It traumatizes and depresses me seeing images of animals on fur farms. Ditto for animals being used for testing and factory farms. We have to protect them. I support Germany adding Animal welfare to their constitution and Great apes getting rights
I pity people who want animals to have equal rights to humans since seeing animals being lower than humans feels like hierarchal and 'speciesist’ (like animals are dehumanized by not being equal to humans).
If I was in a world that was as conservative as 16th century Earth or 17th century Earth I would be ore open to Biocentrism
But in the bible, God tells us that humans are above animals and have more value than animals but we are to protect them. Animals can’t evolve into humans anymore, but we can make animals live more ‘evolved’ lives by caring for them
“Likewise Luke, records Jesus telling His disciples, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
So while we humans are above animals and we are more valuable than animals, as we obviously should be (since God made us to be superior to them and we are superior to them), we are to protect them and not abuse that role, hence why I have my views.
I do pray that all animals after they die, get to live at least one life as a human (or as an intelligent life extraterrestrial of a species I feel is equal to humans on Earth) on Earth or another planet after they die and before they go to the afterlife so they can finally be equal to humans on Earth (i.e so if and when each animal dies they will be reincarnated as a human or intelligent life extraterrestrial of a species I feel is equal to humans at least once before going to heaven and when they do they will be equal to all humans on Earth)
This way we can say there are no human rights more than the rights of future humans on Earth now (for humans means animals, since all animals currently on Earth would reincarnate after they die to live at last one life as a human before moving onto the afterlife). Nothing is here except the power of nature
The ecological crisis that is happening is partly due to humans treating other humans like **** and dominating over them way too much which spills over to the negative way we treat animals
We need to be at one with the centrality and interconnectedness of nature. It would be much better for animals if there were fewer humans.
Maybe we can use Libertarian Municipalism to fix these issues above
I am against Zoophilia and it should stay illegal forever. Science has proven that Zoophilia causes disease and death.
I believe animals should be in circuses but only a somewhat few circuses in their lives then retire them to wildlife conservations. I fully support the existence of Wildlife Conservations and Ecological Conservationism (both of those things are important)
I am an on again , off again vegan
I support the Calgary Stampede using live animals.
I reject Critical Animal Studies and I believe that Critical Animal studies are nonsense and garbage.
I am against hunting. It causes me severe depression and heart break seeing any animal being killed. Hunting makes me upset. I want to end hunting forever and to make it so no innocent animal is killed ever again. Animals make our Earth great and for them to be savagely murdered by hunters is barbaric, archaic and flat out cruel. But, I won't support hunting bans until it becomes viable.
I am fine with the hunting that was done in the bible and in Israel during biblical times.
I am not against fishing, but I am not a fan of people fishing at all since I feel fishing is too overboard and could be seen a bit cruel (though I am fine with people doing catch and release, humane fishing if done a specific way or mercy killing a fish). The type of fishing outside of those 2 things I am fine with is fishing that was done in the bible and in Israel during biblical times
I am against people hitting pets to discipline them (and even if they do so lightly). People should never hit their pet under any circumstance unless it is in self defense and even then with a focus on de escalation and not hurting their pet. We need to protect pets from being hurt.
I am against goose egg addling and I feel that should be illegal
Polemic
elections
I can say that the Georgia voting law is racist . But I can't understand how the GA voting law is racist
While I support the electoral college I believe we need a system for our country where we have a direct democracy which allows people to directly vote on things as opposed to representive democracy that we currently have . This is because representive democracy is open to abuse by special interests and political influence. Direct democracy laws are short enough for people to know what they mean.
I am ok with states not requiring ids to vote
I support first time voters needing to provide id to vote if they registered by mail and didn't provide the correct id to register.
I support people being required to sign an affidavit when they vote each time along with being required to provide their signature to verify with a signature kept on file when they vote each time
I believe that if a citizen does not consistently vote, they should re register before the next election. If they do consistently vote, they shouldn't have to re register before the next election except to update information (which wouldn't be a bad idea every now and again).
I support poll workers obsessively and thoroughly reading and checking the voter rolls
I am open minded to blockchain voting for elections for make elections more secure.
I believe that more Americans need to be politically active
I am against Blexit and we need to fight against it to ensure BIPOC+ are not lured away. BIPOC+ are very important to our party as we can help them more than anyone, and we can't allow them to tricked by the Republicans to become Republicans. Republicans want more BIPOC+ in their party so they don't look racist (regardless of whether they really are) but they are only using BIPOC+ as token minorities for self gain and to get back at us and we can't allow that.
BIPOC+ Democrats have made very positive contributions for their community, our party (Democratic Party) and this country for countless years and their contributions should be celebrated. As such, we owe it to them to not let them be stolen from us through nonsense like Blexit
I am apolitical for ex convicts and inmates voting in elections
I do not support the Electoral College being removed or replaced since it might hurt BIPOC+ if that happens
I guess I am ok with Instant runoff voting
I support first past the post voting since it seems like decent election reform
I am against DC becoming a state.
I agree with Joe Biden that the 2022 mid term elections might be illegitimate. I also agree with Biden on the need to make the case to the American people that some of things that the Republicans are doing might be done to try the alter the 2022 mid term elections
I am sick and tired of people falsely saying that 'Joe Biden is not our President'. Biden is our President and in my mind he is just as legit as any other President we've had.
I am glad that Joe Biden is President. He got his dream job after working his way up from a blue collar everyman widower to leader of the free world. After 8 years of being VP, he finally got to be President. It's always good to see VPs upgrade and become President. Plus it's cool that a silent generation person is President
I feel Tucker Carlson isn't an intelligent person if he gets his talking points on migration from far right/alt right forums. He should do more research and rely on better sources before he speaks about migration and Democrats.
Even if migrants voted more D than R, (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/07/22/are-unauthorized-immigrants-overwhelmingly-democrats) , so what? I am a Democrat and so I cannot complain about that. It may be true but there is no hidden 'conspiracy' by Democrats to have Democrat voter migrants magically replace non Democrat voter migrants. The Democrats aren't smart enough to devise such a scheme. We can't even pass progressive policies with a Democrat house.
America has always been a haven for migrants of all stripes, whites had their migration boon (17th century through mid 20th century) and since the 1960s it's now BIPOC+ having their migration boon here. Everything evens out. Our country was Native American before white, so having all of these BIPOC+ being here in the majority is a throwback to pre white colonization America
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii (the same way that Fred Gandy mocks people who think Obama is a Muslim , I mock people who think Obama was born in Kenya).
Donald Trump was ovalized in Scotland (where his mother is from) while Obama was ovalized in Kanas ie the US (in Jewish law, only maternal ancestry matters).
Our political system is broken. The electoral process is not working and there is nothing to fix it.
If we can’t transition to the type of State Socialist society that I want then I support city-state radical localism (due to me supporting Strategic Autonomy), I am a decentralist in the way I write below but I do not support conventional decentralism (which can be achieved through revolution). Basically peaceful seizure of state power to the people within the state
City-state radical localism is the decentralization of federal control over our lives via various sessions across the US (regions and localities separating themselves from larger political units)
This would be good because by using a city-state type system, besides fighting against a Paternalistic government we can also say good riddance to the right wingers by separating ourselves from them via this system once it is implemented
This is similar to when the 13 colonies broke off from the British Empire in 1776 or the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact countries from the USSR in the late 1980s (i.e liberation of the Eastern Bloc from the USSR)
America's economy has declined many times due to warmongering, fiscal irresponsibility, rising fuel costs ,rising health care and housing costs, unemployment, inflation etc. Americans also have been polarized due to politics and class.
Americans need to fight against corporate oligarchy which controls this seemingly unjust and evil system we live in. Through systems like City-State radical localism there is a way to for Americans of all background to fight against a common foe (the system), while managing and respecting their differences while doing just that. Once we do that we can find out where to go from there
City-state radical localism provides self determination by creating communities that meet their own unique desires and standards as a way to fight against the system who seeks to use differences between us to divide and conquer us.
Basically this means creating specialized communities and intentional states with their own businesses, schools, labor groups, social services, organizations (i.e cultural), courts, militias, health care systems etc. It's been done in other countries so being done here would be good
Jewish people don't run everything. Out of the 500 most relevant multinational corporations (including world wide government), Jews are just a very tiny fraction of those relevant multinational corporations
I support reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933.
non elections
I am a tolerant person in a traditionally liberal tolerant way (i.e pre mid late 2010s, NON successor ideology way)
I support free inquiry
I support countering and fighting against worldly sophistication, which is why I support that anti worldly sophestication part of the 4pt. See my anti consumerism and other anti postmodernish thoughts on this throughout my blog
I oppose the bourgeoisie, neoliberalism and regressive liberalism, DINOs and paganism. I agree with the Fourth Political Theory on some of their Anti Liberal critiques (grain of salt and with nuance)
I don’t believe that the Constitution is infallible and I think it has a few issues
I support bringing back the Articles of the Confederation. I believe in some ways the constitution has failed us
I support freedom of speech almost as much Elon Musk. I feel Twitter should be run like Mastadon and have various communities of users while allowing far right-alt right communities (who are as free as Gab) but shunning them from the Twitter networks and communities the same way that Mastadon shuns Gab from their networks and communities
Twitter is a private company and they don't want freedom of speech, they want all users to live in harmony. So they restrict speech they think upsets that harmony even if some of almost most of it maybe true (ymmv). If they'd come out and say that, they wouldn't be trashed
Twitter pushes a lot of people they ban underground where they become more extreme. Like with legalizing drugs, allowing those users to stay on Twitter might be a way to counter (via liberal Twitter users) those things they Tweet that get them ban
I do believe that healthy reasonable conversation is more ideal than free speech absolutism. Political dissent that is treasonous, causes hate crimes, defames, causes violence ,harasses should be countered and condemned
Talib Kweli deserved to be banned from Twitter. He was harassing BIPOC+ women because they were criticizing him. Instead of him trying to see where they were coming from and politely replying to them, he harassed them. That type of harassment needs to end. He should apologize to all of them
This is a great solution to the Twitter privacy problem: https://bford.info/2015/10/07/names.html
I am fine with Republicanism especially the extreme paternalistic kind that ensures everyone is happy
Republicans are problematic because they want to fight instead of being diplomatic. When both sides come together like in the 1970s, that when our political division wounds will be healed
A case can be made that having too much freedom is not a good thing .There must be a limit to freedom somewhere.
I believe RadLiberal Hypocrisy is real and a problem. It's not as bad as some make it out to be and there are two sides to it but by and large it is an issue.
The far right-alt right today are an angry opposition that are no longer capable of participating constructively in political debate with conservatives (according to John Podhoretz)
Qanon is a myth and nonsensical garbage. I thought that Pizzagate (another myth and nonsensical garbage) was a conspiracy started by Liberals not Conservatives until I found out better.
If anyone killed Jeffrey Epstein it's the Republicans
A Darwinian Left provides a good framework about how to fix at least some modern issues within the Democrat party and with Liberalism and Progressivism in general
I support political leaders who don't force their will upon people
People should build strategic alliances with political, cultural and ideological opponents
We should allow Left, Progressive Right and Center (ideally Radical Center) into Anarchist movements
I am an anti statist but I do not support states rights and I am not a constitutionalist .I do not support the Tenth Amendment .
bias
How can us Democrats see things totally opposite of what Republicans see? One reason is, Conservatives minds are wired to be fearful and anxious of new things while Democrats minds are wired to be bold and fearless in adopting new viewpoints or embracing new things.
Groupthink is one of the worst parts of the human psyche and we should guard against it , whether it is in politics, business, holidays etc. From David French "With a striking empirical regularity, deliberation tends to move groups, and the individuals who compose them, toward a more extreme point in the direction indicated by their own predeliberation judgments. In plain English, this means that when like-minded people gather, their views get more extreme. Our arguments reinforce one another to such an extent that the entire group will sometimes become more extreme than the most extreme person at the start of the deliberation"
Republicans and Conservatives can have their parallel societies (like alt tech) if they feel abused because of their apparent 'bigotry'
There is at least somewhat liberal media biased in the media and that is a fact. Most reporters and editors are liberal. I've seen left wing sources downplay it so I think at minimum they are right (but I think there is more bias than they let on)
Liberal bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AReliable_sources%2FPerennial_sources&diff=prev&oldid=1058700530
https://www.commentary.org/articles/bari-weiss/resist-woke-revolution/?s=04

Robert Reich is correct about the threat of Corporatism. Corporations are starting to run our society and many of them are a threat to our democracy. It's bad enough they feed off of monopolies and buying other corporations but now they are crossing the line. Reich's book provides great insight into this. We need to fight against Corporatism before it engulfs our country. Corporations have their own agenda that transcends Right-Left split. We must stop that, bipartisanly. Both parties have sold our to corporatism. Corporations are not people. They should stay out of politics. Big corp can easily swing the other way and if that happens, we are screwed
Transnational Corporations are a threat to our society. They cause many of the race-ethnic issues and unrest that we have today
Many of our fiscal problems are caused by multinational corporations. Transnational corporations run our world, and are a growing threat to our democracy due to the power and influence they have in politics and consumer culture
We need to end Corporate personhood. Corporations are not people.
I empathize with the concerns of the OP in this Reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/AskALiberal/comments/jvu8to/i_used_to_be_a_liberal_4_years_ago_but_im/ and with the view that left are hypocritical at times with free speech. I also don't like the far left's heretic hunting.
Wikipedia is bad because they are now woke (source: Andrew Orlowski). They also say tone deaf things about BLM not realizing that there will never be any significant amount of BIPOC+ users (and by the nature of the site most users who are BIPOC+ won't identify as such). Wikipedia goes too far left too many times for me in terms of bias. Wikipediocracy and Jimbo Wales admitted there is some liberal bias, too much for my blood.
The SPLC is too far left. They shouldn't have went woke in 2020 with removing black racist groups. They go too far using association fallacy, misinformation -misleading information . Even Wikipedia admits that the SPLC is left bias. SPLC was wrong to fire Morris Dees. SPLC needs to go back to its roots, while fighting hate the way that the founders intended. Not through SJW woke methods
party position/roles
I am part Austromarxist because Austromarxism relevant today due to the growing complexity of the new contexts of global society and the multiplication of migrations and refugees. Austromarxism is also relevant today due to the need to respond to minorities through accommodation via mechanisms of territorial and non territorial autonomy.
I support the creation of a caucus thats values include ideally stopping illegal immigration (or realistically stopping mass illegal immigration), ending wars and warmongering by the US, and promoting fair trade that benefit American workers
If I was alive in the 1960s and politically active, I would have been a stimulating member of the New Left
I repudiate the modern Republican GOP. I reject modern conservativsm as corrupt and decrepit (alt right)
People on both sides have a common tendency to exaggerate the viewpoints of their ideological opponents. They usually see on average, twice as much difference as actually exists.
There are also imagined extremism. This comes in a via conflicts over abortion rights, the interpretation of a racial-ethnic incident, the attitudes of certain social viewpoints etc
In disputes on politics, everyone seriously overestimates the polarization between both sides. This is due to demonization by each side toward the other
I believe that the government/state should stay out of enforcing moral changes in most to nearly all situations. Moral evolution can happen many times apart of the government/state and relations between people can emerge with freedom from the government/state. Most relationships in life should not be characterized as conflict as the left and right might have it. It's good to have mutual and humane respect for others as individuals. It's also good to do positive and unselfish things without having to grapple with the political ramifications of doing those positive things.
Mark Twain said it best "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect"
'If You Are Not a Liberal When You Are Young, You. Have No Heart, and If You Are Not a Conservative. When Old, You Have No Brain
The Democrat Conservatives of the 1960s were a lot better than the Republican Conservatives from the 1970s onward. This is why I am a supporter of 1960s Democrat Conservatism
The Republicans in the 1980s were a pretty good political party. Back then Republicans were seen as go getter yuppies and business people. On Family Ties for example, Alex, who was a typical 1980s Republican was a small-government, pro-capitalist libertarian at heart. Alex was hip and cool. The 1980s Republicans were a great party unlike the Republicans of today. This article puts it better than I can http://web.archive.org/web/20191011195307/https://www.cracked.com/article_26594_the-classic-sitcom-that-looks-completely-insane-in-2019.html
I don't feel the need to insult Donald Trump since so many people have already (including from his former cabinet members, family members, the Pope)
But if I must insult Donald Trump:
Donald Trump is the Prince of Darkness. I am convinced that Donald Trump is a combination of Hannibal Lecter, Dr Evil, the Antichrist, Freddy Krueger and Godzilla all rolled into one!
Donald Trump is a scoundrel , he shaved Mr McMahon's hair at Wrestlemania 23!! That was so heelish of Trump to cause such pain and misery to such an upstanding and respectful person (McMahon) who helped build the WWE to what it is today. I bet McMahon's grandkids were crying in horror as they saw Trump and Lashley shave and abuse McMahon.
Donald Trump also is a celebaphobe, he fired SO MANY celebrities as host of the Apprentice!!
Donald Trump is a TRAITOR!!!. He was a Mets fan his whole life (he is from Queens), yet he rooted for the Atlanta Braves in person during their World Series game vs the Astros!!! Um, hello? The Braves won the NL East like trillions of times in the 1990s and 2000s while destroying the Mets nearly every time they played and this turncoat Trump roots for them (the Braves)? BENEDICT TRUMP!!!
Trump also is a crook, he robbed my family of money through his casinos (Trump Plaza, Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Castle)
Donald Trump's hair is a major cause of climate change due to all of the hair spray he uses on it.
I support a synthesis of all values (i.e Far Left, Left Wing, Progressive Conservative, Conservative Liberal, so basically to create a stew of Radically Centrism)
I don't know what else to call the January 6 2021 capitol thing other than what the MSM and liberals/progressives say that it is. But what it wasn't was as bad or worse than 9/11 or the darkest day in our nation's history. It was also not a terrorist attack or Domestic terrorist attack.
When I heard about the January 6 2021 incident at the Capitol and saw MSM reactions to it, I actually LOL at the Progressive and Liberal commentators getting so bent out of shape about it and actually saying that it was 'as bad or worse than 9/11' or 'the darkest day in our nation's history' or calling it a 'terrorist attack' and similar overreactions to it. We say we don't want walls on our border, but somehow it is ok to put a wall at our Capitol?
I believe that comparing domestic terrorists within the Republican party to ISIS and Al Qaeda is counterproductive, wrong, ignorant, divisive and in bad taste. They may be domestic terrorists or brawlers but they are not anywhere near as bad or violent as ISIS, Al Qaeda and similar groups. Labeling the other side names causes division. We know they aren't like ISIS and Al Qaeda. Let's prove that we know that
Sometimes, I am tempted to support Populist Republicans just to PO Democrats and Liberals to force the Democrat Party to drop the successor ideology,for accelerationism reasons and allowing for a party within a party system. It would also be a fun way to troll people. Like if I decide to vote for a Populist Republican candidates every 2 or 4 years , I don’t think the Earth will break. Those Populist Republicans are all talk but no game, once they get into office their extreme policies will not be passed and they will be tamed, see MTG, Jan Brewer, Mike Pence etc for proof,
It might not be so bad. Though I am being crazy, so I probably won't do that, but it's a fun outside the box thought.
Bad Apples
It is insane and evil that Democrats, and so called liberals and progressives falsely insist that anyone on their side who has opinions that diverge from their sacred views must be a grifter or right winger. Those Democrats and so called liberals and progressives smear them with these fake labels to delegitimize them since the Democrats, and so called liberals and progressives are afraid of being exposed for the authoritarian, fascists they are
The left and the right sharing opinions and agreeing with each other on some things isn’t some magical new phenomenon. People are allowed to have different opinions on political issues. The Democrats, and so called liberals and progressives instead of debating them , smear them, trash them and that is wrong, evil and against the values that our country was founded on
The horseshoe theory is fake. But according to senseless liberal logic, it is ok for them to work with NeverTrumpers to attack right wing things but it is not ok for the left to work with the right to attack liberal or progressive things , what looney liberal hypocrites
If Democrats, and so called liberals and progressives keep smearing people on their side who disagree with them as grifters ,DINOs, tankies or right wingers, I promise on my LIFE the Democrat Party and its base will be destroyed from within, no one wants to be part of a liberal progressive echo chamber cult like the Democrat party where they have to parrot every Democrat party, liberal and progressive talking point or be smeared as a grifter or right winger by hard left illogical fools who live in a bubble and are too chicken shit to defend their view points.
I echo this article https://reason.com/2022/02/08/joe-rogan-and-the-weird-new-definition-of-right-winger/https://nypost.com/2022/05/22/the-left-targets-people-like-elon-musk-for-not-conforming/ Sam Harris, Russell Brand ,Tulsi Gabbard, Sam Seder, Jimmy Dore, Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, BGJ, Krystal Ball, Kyle Kulinski, Vaush, Bret Weinstein are NOT right wing (they aren’t even center right) and are NOT grifters and only hard left EXTREMISTS in their little Democrat, liberal progressive online safe space echo chambers would disagree with me.
Over 80 percent of Americans are further to the right of Krystal Ball, Sam Seder, Kyle Kusinski, Jimmy Dore,Vaush, BGJ, Bill Maher and Sam Harris
Over 67 percent of Canadians and Europeans are further to the right of Krystal Ball, Sam Seder, Kyle Kusinski, Jimmy Dore,Vaush, BGJ, Bill Maher on race issues, Islam, LGBTQ issues , women’s issues , gun issues, on the environment and that is a FACT jack.
If those people are ‘grifters’ than literally EVERY Democrat, liberal and progressive in the US, Canada, Australia, Europe etc are grifters because it is impossible to not be one with how questionable the Democrats, liberals and progressives in the US have gotten. It’s that the majority of Democrats, liberals and progressives do a better job at hiding it
Over 90 percent of Americans would say that Krystal Ball, Kyle Kulinski, Jimmy Dore, BGJ, Vaush, Russell Brand are NOT right wing or even center right. Over 66 percent of Europeans and Canadians would say that Krystal Ball, Kyle Kulinski, BGJ, Vaush, Russell Brand are NOT right wing or even center right (at least on social issues)
Maybe instead of Democrats, and so called liberals and progressives demonizing their fellow Democrats, liberals and progressives who don’t pass their stupid, punitive and petty purity tests, they should instead go after the hard left extremists in their own party for pushing people further right or causing people like the above people to agree with the right on a few issues. I echo what Tim Dillion said on this matter.
Maybe Democrats, Liberals and progressives know that the left agreeing with the right proves some of the Democrat views are wrong and that’s why they smear them. I’ll take so called ‘grifters’ anyday over social fascist authoritarian actual bigots like Joe Biden, AOC, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, CNN, Washington Post etc. I am going to force the Democrats, liberals to stop calling Krystal Ball, Russell Brand, Kyle Kulinski, Vaush and BGJ grifters and right wingers , we must destroy all Democrats, liberals and progressives who smear them as right wingers and or grifters, to save the Democrat party from the evil .Think of me as a hero to do this, to rescue the US snd world from satanism
Instead of focusing on things our side agrees on, the purity test liberals and progressives focus on the things they don’t agree on and act on the things they don’t agree on as if it is rooted in bigotness (which is a naive ignorant hasty conclusion to jump to)
Liberals and Progressives WRONGLY and ignorantly believe if your views don’t align 100 percent with their views you are bad. This needs to end fast and end forever. I agree with these hosts https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Me2QEuNNVkg&feature=emb_title
I am a almost fan of Steve Bannon (his non bigoted views only)
If we leftists had defended humanism, liberalism and the non bad forms of universalism, there wouldn’t have been an extreme right today. Left wing Identity politics and anti freedom of expression (ie censorship) led to the rise of the extreme right so the left plays a part in that. My advice to to those extreme right people is “don’t join hate groups. Nothing can be gained by linking yourselves to any organizations who agitate animosities or propagate hatreds. Such organizations are immoral and are only negative.”
I have no issues with what right wingers call 'Democrat-Liberal-Progressive fascism'. I do wish we'd be more diplomatic but if we were they'd call us snowflakes. So pick your poison
Republicans are wrong for being warmongering, not having control of the economy but allowing big corporations to have control over it and for having values that don't align with liberal/progressive values
I am against our party using harsh labels on Republicans and Conservatives like 'Jim Crow 2.0' (voting rights act), 'American Taliban' (abortion law in Texas) , Israel Apartheid (Israel settlements). We wouldn't want the other side to do that so it's only fair we don't either. Besides those labels are 100 percent inaccurate, cruel, hateful and harsh. Such demonization of the right causes them to hate us, and see us as enemies
If we value diversity, we should value diversity of viewpoints (assuming those viewpoints are not bigoted). If we only hear viewpoints of the people who think like us or who we agree with, that is not a healthy thing and is a close minded, ignorant thing to do.
I take some of the Autonomous Antifa groups' ideas (ie their more 'salvageable ones) and fuse them with my own since I support Autonomism .
I do not support Antifa
I am fine w Liberal outing Conservatives only because such a thing is a site ban offense on Wikipedia so to see Liberals do such a thing in real life and not get in trouble for it is intriguing
I am against the Democrats censuring Krysten Sinema. Shame on those bullies for censuring her. Mark Kelly was correct
A lot of people become Far right due to their emotional response to shame, guilt, frustration and alienation so that should be taken into account with extremists on the right
I've always been bothered with how Liberals and progressives gang up on conservatives, people they don't agree with or companies and other entities they don't agree with on social media whenever those people say something offensive or does something that triggers those liberals and progressives. I feel that liberals and progressives actually bully some of those people and this is not something we should be doing as it is beneath us and lowers us to their level.
But I am not for it, it's more fun to be against that than for it (ie it's more fun to be anti something than for something)
I've seen this with Elon Musk. Look at who is ganging up on him: NY Times, George Soros (as always) AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Joy Reid, Robert Reich, TechCrunch, Howard Dean, Shaun King, George Takei , pretty much anyone who served in any capacity under Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, etc How would these liberals and progressives enjoy having the tide turned on them? They wouldn't like it so much, just ask Debra Messing how it feels.
Doesn't it seem 'weird' that its always the same liberals and progressives who protest against things they don't like? Same corporations, same celebrities, same news orgs, same political people, same organizations etc.
We need to end this ganging up, public shaming and bullying of people we don't agree with , because if we don't it could swing the other way fast if the right gets power and then we're really f***d.
Social media brings out the worst in people, and creates echo chambers and hive minds and that needs to stop.
A lot of liberals and progressives (along with Independents) are being manipulated in ways they do not realize
Sometimes college diplomas are meaningless in that they do nothing to help graduates get work . Such graduates feel alienated from their work due to this since they can't find work
International issues (war/international relations/issues in other countries etc)
Military/Isolationism/Wars in general
I sympathize with left interventionalism and I am ok with some left interventionalism (especially in third world countries to help oppressed residents against their dictator governments in order to spread liberal values). This includes the US assembling and uniting lost US lands that were lost to the US (in s Left Wing way), Native American sovereignty, the First Nations using Anarcho Monarchism again like they used pre European imperialism etc
I am Anti Imperialism (including Anti American Imperialist/Anti Cultural Imperialist, see my Lifestyle blog for more). Libertarianism is partly why I am Anti Imperialism. Imperialism is high stage Capitalism
I am against American Universalism
I am against Transnational Progressiveness
I am a non interventionalist
I support the Third World anti colonial movements of the 19th century and 20th century (including the Boxer Rebellion in China)
I want the US to make their territories and colonies Independent
I am anti war most of the time but I am anti war due to Lockean love of Liberty and being anti government (ie war is big gov). Basically I am anti war for the same reasons Mark Twain was anti war.
I am against military drafts
Since I am defacto anti war/not supportive of wars, I am by default against all countries on Earth going to war/me non supportive of all countries on Earth going to war . For example, after the outbreak of each war I check to see if an extremely rare and overwhelming case for me supporting that war being waged exists and if it doesn't then I keep my default anti war/not supportive position on that war. It takes more for me to support a war than for me to say that I don't condemn a war. I haven't supported a war since I supported the Iraq War in early 2003 (before changing my mind in March 2003 and being against the Iraq War)
I am solidly pro Military and very pro Veteran despite being anti war
I am against the Open Skies Treaty
I also am tolerant of some guerilla like factions from our planet throughout history (or in the cases of some, like the alternate history guerrillas under alternate history Fidel Castro, who in those alternate histories aligned with the values of the modern day Forward US party
I support Strategic Autonomy
I am tolerant of some Democratic guerilla like factions from our planet throughout history
I am against globalism and would prefer radical localism over that. Which is why I am ok with bringing back the Articles of Confederation
I was and I still am against the Patriot Act. It's tempting to be happy that liberals are using or want to use it against Conservatives but the Patriot Act is so harsh and inhumane I cannot support it under any known circumstance
I-P
I am an Anti N,azi. It is wrong to stereotype Jewish people or anyone of any group
My views on Zionism are complicated. I prefer Labor Zionism to Zionism. Labor Zionism is good as long as it doesn’t allow Zionism to mess things up
I am pretty sympathetic with specific non SJW and non boycott parts of the BDS, BDS politicians (like Rashida Tlaib, Ihlan Omar) and their militantly moderate non zionist views. Since 2003 I have realized there are two sides to this debate
I respect their views on Israel and Israelis even if I may not agree them on most or nearly more than most of those views. However as mentioned above , I do not like the SJWism, boycott, demonizing and most forms of the cancel culture tactics the BDS uses nor do I like them smearing Israelis as racists to name a few complaints I have with the BDS and their allies which turns me away from them.
I am pro Israel in that I love how unique the state of Israel is (being the homeland for Jews and reforming after 2000 years snd being an outlier in the Middle East, for better or for worse). It is a unique model for a country.
However, I can't really be that supportive of Zionism since I support Autonomism and Zionism's Nationalist nature goes against that. I am a Post Zionist who admires pre Post Zionism with awe, intrigue and respect
A lot of Israelis are descended from Palestinians so they are part Palestinian too so BDS and far left anti Israel people should keep that in mind when they criticize Israel.
I am mixed on the Palestinians in their feud with Israel. I am upset how Palestinians including Hamas are falsely stereotyped as ‘terrorists’, about how Benjamin Netanyahu and the pro Israel lobby dehumanized the Palestinians and how Israel didn’t find new age solutions to countering perceived threats from the Palestinians
I am not supportive of an exclusive alliance between the US and Israel since I am a non interventionist. I feel a Night’s Watchmen alliance between the US and Israel would be more ideal
Ideally , I favor something that is a fusion of a common three state solution idea (including this type of three state solution) and the current status quo in Israel-Palestine
One solution is to let Palestine be independent but have the same relationship with and to Israel that Taiwan has with and to China
I am fine with the US embassy being moved to Jerusalem
I am mixed on Israel's settlements in the West Bank.
The British Israelites groups of the late 19th century and early 20th century were eccentric but probably no more racist or anti semitic than the mainstream of Western culture at that time (but obviously wrong for having those bigoted attitudes). However, they were wrong about the Jews. I hope that modern BDS and progressives don't make the British Israelites mistake of allowing legit criticism of Zionism to warp into bigoted and ignorant viewpoints that backfires
I retroactively support the Jews ban (ch-r-m)/actions toward the pre Israeli inhabitants of Canaan (Hittite and the Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and the Jebusites) in the Book of Joshua. I retroactively support the way that the Jews conquered Canaan in the book of Joshua and took it over. This shows why I feel this way
China-Russia
I fully condemn China for their 123 child policies, for being anti Christian, for getting involved in the 2020 unrest situations in the US, and the things below along with similar things
I am against China shoving Mao down peoples throats. Mao was a harsh dictator of the proc. I pity him but I am against his aggressive methods and some of his ultra left views. I don't want his statues removed or him censored but he should be viewed in China like Americans view Warren Harding, Andrew Johnson or Franklin Pierce. Mao was worse than Donald Trump, Enoch Powell, and Vladimir Putin but not by much
I want China to abolish forced labor and pay and incentivize all of the laborers who do jobs that forced laborers do now but pay those workers as fairly as workers in the US were paid in the the mid late 20th century, maybe in significant part via bonds, bitcoin and savings (and the same perks that workers in Norilsk Russia have, i.e health recovery centered travel) and maybe even (or better yet) those laborers who do jobs that forced laborers do now should via economic parity be paid to be as rich as the bourgeois who oppress them now are.
I want high tariffs against China
I don't care enough about China to care about how they handled the pandemic.
China's social credit is bad mostly
I am alt neutral in the China-Hong Kong dispute but deep down, I'd like Hong Kong to be as free from China as they became free from the UK after UK rule long ago.
I prefer to apolitical on China-Taiwan but if I am forced to give an opinion. I believe Taiwan should be an unrecognized Independent state AND at the same time officially be to China what the First Nation tribes are to Canada with a bit of Anarcho Monarchism thrown into the mix for the latter
If I sound too pro Josef Stalin, I will put this quote by Nikita Kruschrev here for balance “ It is here that Stalin showed in a whole series of cases his intolerance, his brutality, and his abuse of power ... he often chose the path of repression and physical annihilation, not only against actual enemies but also against individuals who had not committed any crimes against the party or the Soviet Government” . I am glad there was a ‘Soviet thaw’.
I like how the USSR with its foundation of fiscally responsible socialistic values (established by pre USSR Russia) expanded and spread its egalitarian and proto multipolar values which included its satellite states . This meme and thread reflects some of my thoughts on Josef Stalin’s gulags
I am fine with the USSR creating satellite states
Whether the Holomodor was a genocide is irrelevant, three million people died. But here is an alternative viewpoint (in image) of the Holomodor, just to show to prepare fellow leftists to debate people who don’t have acceptable views on the Holomodor that us non Neo Stalinists have
This is good insight into forced deportations under Joseph Stalin. Stalin was as anti migrant as Donald Trump and that is very bad , wrong and xenophobic
Under Joseph Stalin, the USSR was very pro science and it evolved from an agrarian society to a full industrialized and developed country under his rule.Lysenko was one of very few bad scientists in the USSR but even that wasn’t significant just overblown propaganda
I support the All Russian People’s Front even if it has Rodzaevskyist characteristics
The US and Europe should try to de escalate the Russia-Ukraine crisis instead of inflaming it
I believe Russia should be able to reclaim some of their past lands but through the type of Diplomacy that would please GWB.
I do not support Ukraine joining NATO. In fact I am anti NATO and I believe a case can be made that NATO should be abolished
The Jan 6 2021 protestors did not cause Russia to invade Ukraine and anyone who says otherwise is a fool
North Ossetia is part of Russia and I am glad that North Ossetia is part of Russia
I am lenient to passive lean ok with Great Russian Chauvinism
I will not condemn Belarus helping Russia, though I am not exactly crazy about it either
Russia invading Eastern Ukraine was a mere invasion and not as controversial as Russia's later full invasion of Ukraine
I oscillate between viewing and speaking about Russia and Russia's invasion of Ukraine exactly like how Anna Nebretko viewed and spoke about Russia in the last few years ,some of which caused her to be cancelled in 2022 as being 'Pro Russia' and how Father Coughlin viewed and spoke about Germany/NSDAP and their allies in the 1930s and early 1940s
I see whatever long term good comes to Russia out of their war with Ukraine as a silver lining for their invasion of Ukraine
My view on US getting involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is the same view that Copperheads had about the Union going to war with the Confederacy during the Civil War
I oscillate between wanting the People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk to stay part of Ukraine but be a Eastern block type satellite province of Russia like the Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War were satellite states of the USSR, me wanting all pro Russian residents of the People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk to migrate to Russia while allowing Ukraine to take back those areas and me wanting the People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk to remain a part of Ukraine but as a Special Administrative Region while having the same relationship with Russia that Hezbollah has with Iran.
Ideally Russia should have applied the zoo hypothesis to Eastern Ukraine and not went into that area until it was defensible to do so
I view Azoz Battalion in between how John Wilkes Booth viewed John Brown (where he respected John Brown’s courage and passion despite being against him) and something that is in between Hero Antagonists and 1990s Anti Heroes even though I am not pro Ukraine
It is hypocritical and wrong to ban innocent Russians from entering other countries even if there are good reasons for doing so. Liberals righfully blew back over a Muslim travel ban by Donald Trump during the reign of ISIS yet they applaud this? UGH. I believe banning innocent Russians from going to other countries because of Russia going to war with Ukraine is wrong, senseless and fascist and is just as bad as Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban in 2017. I am fully against the Russia flight ban by the US and Europe. It is draconian, fascist and evil. It's also a violation of freedom of movement. I hope all Russians permanelty boycott the US and all countries that banned flights to and from Russia.
Some Russians have been unfairly fired due to their place of origin by fascist Russophobes. Their firings are a violation of Employement Acts ,since they were singled out due to their place of origin. These Russians being unfairly fired is akin to McCarthysim or what the US did to Japanese Americans right after Pearl Harbor. Freedom of speech means telling people what they don't want to hear. We must end extreme cancel culture and modern day McCarthyism
I am against Anna Nebretko getting fired by the Metropolitian Opera House. There was no reason to fire her and Peter Gelb should be fired on the spot for what he did.
I am against the Bolshoi Ballet being fired. They did nothing wrong and they were unfairly fired for no reason
I supported Alexander Lukashenko during the 2020 Belarus protests. The anti Lukashenko protestors were counterproductive and maybe even wrong
I support the Eastern Orthodox Church as the state religion of Russia but I really prefer a Eastern Orthodox Deism as Russia’s state religion
Muslim
Islam is no better or worse than any other religion. It has good and bad like any other religion. Islam shares an Abrahamaniac link to Judeo Christianity and is a peaceful religion. Not all criticism of Islam is Islamaphobic and some criticism of Islam is genuine and constructive. Some rarer sects of Islam do treat women and LGBTQ people unfairly which is wrong. People should avoid criticizing things in Islam that they don't understand because if they don't avoid doing that, they'll look ignorant.
Sharia law in its more extreme forms is sexist, anti LGBTQ+, hostile to Christianity, extremely anti zionist or even anti semetic and thus should be condemned.
We need to counter those more extreme forms of Sharia law wherever it exists and prevent extremists of any religion, including Islam to implement such harsh anti democratic systems into our societies (such as those more extreme parts of Sharia law) . The more extreme parts of Sharia law go against the core beliefs of our society. By doing so, we will be fighting for the rights of all people.
I believe Christians need to build a coalition of faith with Muslims like how Rick Warren did a decade and a half ago with the Muslim community
I am tolerant of Shamsul Islam’s views on Islam
I am generally ok with some of Quillam’s criticism of Islam
Muslims are oppressed by Islamaphobes and they need us non Muslim people to help them since some to just short of many of them are too shy or lack enough agency to do so themselves
I feel that the Labour Party UK and Democrat party should listen more to the Muslim community there and address the reasonable concerns they have, or at the very least show those Muslims that their concerns are being considered and are important.
I believe people should criticize Islam and every religion since no religion should be off limits but they should do so in a constructive, genuine way that is free of Islamaphobia.
Linda Sarsour has good views on Islam and Feminism
I am against the Netherlands being Islamaphobic and racist against Arabs and I condemn the Netherlands for it
I am against France and other countries banning Muslim women from wearing Burkinis, the Hijab and Burqas. I fully support Muslim women or any person wearing Burkinis, Hijabs and Burqas. Those bans are Islamaphobic and violate human rights. Those countries are appeasing far right Islamphobes by these bans but are hurting the Muslim community at the same time. Instead those countries should try to make laws to help Muslims not hurt them. Muslim women need to get the Burqa and Burkini to be as 'accepted' as the Hijab if they are to make any progress against Islamophobia
I was and still am against Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban
It was wrong for DJT to criticize Khizr Khan's 2016 DNC . I am fine with Ghazela Khan's views on roles in marriage and marriage (that she mentioned on Morning Joe). That's their culture and we should respect it
I have no issues with countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar etc requiring people to dress modestly or conservatively in certain religious places.
I have defended Muslims against defamation since 9/11. I am appalled that Muslims were and are stereotyped and labeled as terrorists since 9/11 (especially right after 9/11 and in the age of ISIS). The vast vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists and only a fringe part of some sects of Islam are terrorists. I do think that Muslims should try to counter Islamophobia in a peaceful, educational and edifying sort of way instead of lowering themselves to the Islamophobes level.
I don't believe the October 31 2018 truck attack in NYC or the Swedish truck attack in 2017 were terrorist attacks or Islamic extremism. I am not even that sure that the 2016 Nice lorre attacks were terrorism or Islamic extremism (or at least I am not that sure if terrorism/Islamic extremism was the primary motive of the attacks). Saying that every time a Muslim commits mass murder is terrorism or Islamic extremism is bigoted, ignorant, naive and offensive. However, on the flip side, a few attacks by Muslims that are not labele as terrorism/Islamic extremism are technically terrorism or Islamic extremism (the Fort Hood shooting for example). But there are obviously way more times Muslims committing crimes are falsely accused of terrorism/Islamic extremism than there are times when Muslims do commit terrorist or Islamic extremist attacks and said attacks are not labeled as terrorism/Islamic extremism. A lot of Muslims who were defamed as Islamic extremists were really atheists pretending to be Muslim.
Christians who are killed in the Middle East by ISIS should always be labeled as Christians instead of worshippers by the media and politicians.
ISIS and Al Qaeda are TERRORISTS not Militants
Iran/Syria/Libya/Iraq/Afghanistan
I do not condemn Donald Trump's killing of Qasem Soleimani but I think it was a sad, mean spirited, aggressive necon move that should not be repeated in the future unless he or anyone gets permission from the UN and or congress to do so
I was and still am against the US going to war with Syria. Syria was no angel but the US should have left them alone. Let the people in Syria deal with that. No more endless wars or American neocon nonsense.
I was and still am against the Libya War (the one under Barack Obama),
I was and still am against the Iraq War (I was begrudingly for it until late March 2003 then I became permanently against it)
At worst, instead of going to Iraq, the US should have increased their troops and presence in Afghanistan, while closely monitoring the situations in Iraq
One idea would be for the US to not go to war with Iraq, and remain neutral in Iraqi affairs with the Kurds, Iran, Israel etc while at the same time, the US increases arms sells to any country who wants them (including Iraq), hoping that Iraq's enemies in the Middle East buy those weapons more than or instead of Iraq.
Basically what the US did in the early part of World War I when they were neutral in that war.
Just like with World War I when the Germans attacked the US forcing the US to go to war with Germany, if and when Iraq attacked the US for selling weapons to the wrong country or faction (ie Israel or the Kurds), then just like with World War I, the US would then go to war with Iraq, but as an associated ally of the anti Iraqi forces like the US was to the allies in World War I. So if the Iraq War was started like I wrote above and went down like that, I would have supported the Iraq War from start to finish
Another bad thing about the Iraq War was getting rid of their Saddam. Saddam sort of protected Christians in Iraq. With him disposed, it allowed ISIS to target Christians a decade later
I support the Iraq War troop surge by George W Bush in 2007. It was a smart strategy and helped turn the war around for us
Chris Kyle was a war hero and his movie is not offensive. It's only offensive to anti war people or people who are misled by ignorant things in the media about it. People have a right to be offended because Chris Kyle fought for their right to be offended by him and his movie. But the patriotism is a bit over the top
If those sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s caused 9/11 I am retroactively against those sanctions. Besides Dick Cheney said those sanctions didn't work so the UN was wrong to do those sanctions.
I think that the Gulf War was neo con warmongering but it was more justifiable than the Iraq War, Libyan War, Syria War etc It was probably one of the least offensive wars in recent or modern times involving the US
I am against the way that Joe Biden handled Afghanistan .Biden botched the withdrawal of our troops in Afghanistan. I echo many MSM sources on this
I supported the Afghanistan War but we should have pulled out of Afghanistan earlier than later.
Europe
I support keeping the Queen Victoria statues up
I support the Basque Independent movement
I support the Catalonian Independent movement since I see that has a Christian struggle against the state (and because I see this as the Left Wing version of the Falange 1930s movement , I am fine with Spain being anti F Franco and anti Falange, but I get PO'd when they falsely lump the Catalonian Independence movement in with that, hence why I support the Catalonian Independent movement
I am radically centrist to lean mixed on the Scottish Independent movement
Asia
I do not condemn the 2021 coup de tat in Myanmar ,its none of my business
I have no opinion on how Donald Trump handled North Korea . I will Trump got more than some praise by the MSM for it (and most MSM were mixed to positive about how he handled North Korea)
I am against the Vietnam War (though if I was alive back then I probably would have supported it through 1966) and I think it was cool how Americans like Jane Fonda sympathized with Northern Vietnam. However I am glad that Jane Fonda apologized for her treason. I am also against the hate the veterans got and aspects of the anti war movement which spiraled out of hand
I am fifth political position on the US-Philippines war
Americas
I supported Cliven Bundy in his feud with the Federal Government (until he made his bigoted comments then I obviously dropped my support for him)
The government has no right to intrude on Bundy's property over petty, punitive laws. Bundy is an inspiration for how he fought against those tyrant fascists.
I have no issues with the Second Vermont Republic. Vermont has been negatively effected by a lot of Republicans moving there in droves, and due to some anti Bernie type policies hurting their states so them seceding would stop those negative things from happening
I am not against the sovereignty movement of Hawaii .I am sort of mixed on that
I retroactively support Reconstruction in the Southern US in the 19th century. The northerners made the South freer, more antiracist, and better than it was before. Northerners helped blacks get educated, voting rights and even elected to offices.
I am glad that Canada was a haven for oppressed people, including escaped slaves and gave them all equal rights in the 19th century. mid to mid late 19th century Canada is what the Old South should have been
I am glad that the Young Americans Nationalist group in the 19th century pushed the Union to go to war with the South during the Civil War because that helped free and give equal rights to blacks and abolish slavery
The Old South using slavery was wrong, not just for moral reasons (which is the main reason its wrong for every society) but also for economic reasons as they instead should have embraced a hypothetical socio-fiscal system that can be labeled interchangeably as State Capitalism, Bureaucratic Collectivism, State Socialism and a unique Mode of Production. along with the Industrial revolution decades earlier as opposed to using slavery and Agrarianism.
Since the Old South and its slavery-Agrarianism model was far inferior from a economic (and moral) standpoint to non slavery/paid labor- hypothetical socio-fiscal system that can be labeled interchangeably as State Capitalism, Bureaucratic Collectivism, State Socialism and a unique Mode of Production. and the Industrial Revolution model, the Old South should have ditched slavery (giving equal rights to everyone), rebuilt their infrastructure to support these changes and used machines for some jobs as the North was doing at that time. If the Old South had done this in the 1830s, 1840s, 1850s or even late as the early 1860s, they would have been equal to if not better than the Northern US in terms of economy, culture, quality of life and infrastructure. Moreover, there would have been no Civil War and thus no destruction of their region via war or reconstruction corruption and the South would be far better today than it is now.
I support the US in the US-Spanish war
I support the United States breaking free of British rule in the 1770s, and fighting for and gaining their independence from Britain. I support the formation of the United States and everything the United States was founded on. The United States was founded on FREEDOM not white supremacy or slavery. Don’t let woke revisionists twist our nation’s founding. I support the United States in the Revolutionary War .I support the United States in the Revolutionary War

Sodom and Gomorrah were bad cities due to the fact they were bad enough to be nuked by God. Sodom and Gomorrah started the trend of societies rejecting natural and universal values (including values like commitment, non vanity, humbleness, love over lust, equality, diversity, hierarchylessness, classlessness, compassion, wisdom, family, drug free living, non LGBTQ Chauvinism [them being gay and doing gay things was fine but it was not fine they LGBTQ Chauvinists]) that continues to this day in some places.
The US and other countries are not Theocracies and thus the government should not enforce laws based on the beliefs of religious people. Theocracies only work in the afterlife or in the bible, not on Earth (give to Caesar what is Caesar etc).
It certainly wouldn't hurt for more people to at least try to live by the Two Commandments of Mark 12:28-31 of the KJV
Jesus was white, Mary was white and we should not get rid any images, statues, paintings, art etc of a white Jesus, a white Mary or white biblical people.
High ranking Jewish authorities (ie Sadducees and Pharisees) conspired with non Jewish leaders to put Jesus to death. They were jealous of Jesus, and saw him as a threat (Jesus constantly called out the Sadducees and Pharisees for their hypocrisy and evil ways during his ministry).
An unruly mob of people (the vast vast majority of whom were Jewish), in Jerusalem called out for the Romans to crucify and kill Jesus. In Matthew 27:25, Pontius Pilate washed his hands of Jesus's blood and those mob of people (the vast vast majority of whom were Jewish) who had called for Jesus to be crucified, told Pilate "His blood be on us and our children! In the Gospel of John (John 5:18, John 7:1, John 8:37) John shows that Jews wanting to kill Jesus throughout his ministry . Paul, who was himself a Jew, wrote similar things about Jews relationship with Jesus. Paul persuected Christians when he was still Jewish (1 Thess 2:14-15, Phil 3:5-6)
It doesn't matter because Jesus's death was predestined by God as a plan to save humanity. If Jesus wasn't crucified and killed, no Christians would be saved so the Jewish peoples' role in Jesus death saved humanity, because if he didn't get crucifed and killed, none of us would be able to have eternal life. Jesus gave his life willingly as a sacrifice for sin (Mark 10:45, John 18:11). It was Christians' sins that was the most directly responsible for the death of Jesus (Romans 5:8-9, 1 Timothy 1:15) Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later anyway and rose to heaven on his own free will.
I want the Tridentine Mass (1962 Roman Missal) to continue to be celebrated just like it has been celebrated for the last 15 years. I support Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum.
I used to go the Knights of Columbus as a child and teenager a few times a year. The Knights of Columbus is a great organization.
I support Religious Heredoxy
According to the bible, all unrepented sinners (i.e those of the foul , jinxed spirit who are spiritually descended from Cain) will not enter the afterlife when they die (but maybe eventually they will). Only sinners who are saved and have become pure through the cleansing of the spirit and who are spiritually descended from what could have been Adam and Eve if they never sinned will enter the afterlife after they die . So Christians explorers or seekers should heed this message if they are serious about their faith.
Many Christians say the bible teaches Christians who are saved should live a spiritual warrior life and have victory over demons
My former church (Celebrate Church) has a ministry run by Matthew (former Sea World trainer) that compassionately walks side by side with any person whose life has been effected by sin or addiction. My former church's group has its members share their stories of their victories over sin and addiction. This group uses biblical based wisdom and truth to show God's plan for us. They promote freedom that happens when people surrender their lives to Christ. They bridge the unrepentant sinner community and addict community with the church, while offering hope rather than condemnation. To disengage from the wars over sins and addiction to instead focus on reaching people in the unrepentant sinner community and the addiction community one person at a time.
I sometimes do blame the Church for sometimes being an immoral inversion. For example, some sects of Christianity and Catholicism are an unhealed wound for the West due to their heretical anti liberal views. Some of these sects of Christianity and Catholicism forbid a liberal state which is a problem.
Science
I am scientodific. I accept the scientific method
Religion
I believe that Deistic Evolution is true for our universe and other universes and I believe that Intelligent Design is true for other dimensions
Climate change/Eco
I am against the government and social media companies censoring and blocking people who criticize green energy transition. Such actions by the government and social media companies is FASCIST authoritarian censorship and is against the values that our country was founded on. That is shutting down free speech by stifling legit criticism of the government and I will not allow the government to do that. I swear to god
Environmental Racism is a myth. There is no such thing as environmental racism.
I believe that Climate Change is real. But I don't believe that Colonial, racist or patriarchal systems created or fueled it. Climate Change is not a manner of human rights. I am against Greta Thunberg's radical views on Climate Change.
Climate Change will never cause temperatures to rise beyond 5.4F. I don't believe that the Tail End risks of Climate Change will ever happen.
I am against Deep Adaption and Jem Bernall's Deep Adaption. Their climate predictions are too pessimistic. I think we need to 'cool' such hysteria before it causes as much damage as Climate Change itself
There are things that are even more hysterical and chicken little views on climate change than the Tail End risks and Deep Adaptions mentioned above. I totally reject and have zero tolerance for those views that are even more hysterical and chicken little on climate change than the Tail End risks and Deep Adaptions mentioned above
If the Climate Change Apocalypse predictions are real they may really be pointing to the Biblical Apocalypse i.e the Four Horsemen. I am third political position to lip service believe that Climate Change Apocalypse will happen
I don't believe that climate change will happen on my 'past life/future life' planets that are in other solar systems, galaxies or universes
I support the environment, natural resources and ecological conservation
In nature we see a needed connectedness and interrelationship which show us that all things are of equal importance to the functioning of the Earth, plants-shrubs, stones, nothing but humans are the top and nothing is at the bottom, there is one single unit below humans. We have a synergy with our lands
But we still need to be at one with nature. We have to save our forests, so our ovens don't become cold when it gets colds and so our life continues to thrive on this planet.
We need to protect our forests and nature from deforestation, invasive species (which are unnatural), and from urban expansion and exploitation so nature always has a place for us. We also need to make sure people who destroy such natural environments don't do so and to possibly have them move to other areas as to reclaim such areas if they are truly beyond saving.
Extreme migration and mass illegal immigration which are good do have very few yet vital ecological drawbacks. Some people say that extreme migration and mass illegal immigration cause damage to the environment and climate change: https://discovery.dundee.ac.uk/files/28050006/SHIVA_Mehdi_Final_20180815a.pdf Since I am not a scientist I can't tell if they are right or not but its worth a read
These drawbacks are drawbacks that leads to more expansion which leads to nature and forests being replaced with towns ,cities, roads, highways, taking away that beautiful nature and forests
I half heartily conditionally support something between Eco Alter Isolationism and Eco unilateralism , along with Eco Protectionism by the US and some of their allies
The US and some of their allies would use something between Eco Isolationism and Eco unilateralism , along with Eco Protectionism toward countries that don’t take steps to curb the eco system/environmental damage and climate change. These measures would not be removed until those countries take climate change and protection of the eco system more seriously
We need to use non globalist, non liberal and non transnational progressiveness in our ecological fight to preserve our environment and planet
I support a green revolution against over industrialization so we can have some assemblage of our pre industrialized world (since over industrializing the planet is sort of like industrial imperialism and materialistic/first world paternalism and I am against those type of things .
I am sensitive to the sorrow of far left Eco Terrorists since I am myself sensitive and intuitive to seeing with forests being destroyed (trees and rocks are living creatures), housing developments and commercial areas replacing open land (like what sadly happened in my hometown in New Jersey and in Florida), and similar concerns
Some of these themes were even touched upon in the Shining as the Native spirits haunted the Overlook hotel and its guests (like Jack and his family) as payback for the Europe and later the US’s industrial imperialism on Native American lands
Those type of things strip away what makes those areas unique.
However , I condemn the Eco Terrorist’s violence and terrorism as it makes things worse and backfires
Instead of violence and terrorism, Eco Terrorists should become Eco Anarchists who are something between Classic Anarchists-Anarchist Synthesists and Insurrectionary Anarchism .They should also follow the Queer Anarchist creed of possibly , as a last resort doing crime to save our ecology and environment (but petty crime that Queer Anarchists do not violence or terrorism)
We humans should be connected spiritually to nature as we are a product of our nature and the environment. We should be Banal Green Environmentalists/Green Eco Advocacists to preserve nature as it has a role in molding us into what we are today.
I sometimes am tempted to advocate for our government to use militant (though ideally militant moderate) enforcement of environmental measures over the needs and freedoms of its citizens to save our ecology and environment
Maybe to save our planet , our government should require us to sacrifice our interests to the wellness of the land (splendid Earth) and aura of nature. Maybe something like Degrowth similar concept
Maybe we should also consider colonizing other planets or moons to help reduce our ecological footprint on Earth
If our planet continues to deteriorate and decay through eco and environmental decay and damage ,maybe as a radical change we can form indeperpeondent, timeless and agrarian societies (similar to the multiculturalism in Manitoba). This would really help reverse such damage to our planet , and to protect the environment and ultimately the planet
Pan
I am apolitical to mixed on the pandemic politics since I don't view the pandemic as a political issue. But just so I can go on the record with some issues related to it:
I think the CDC and Anthony Fauci did a apolitically mixed (good/above below average) job during the pandemic, especially in 2020 . EXACTLY like Joy Reid, I was skeptical of the CDC etc in 2020 like many Liberals and Progressives were because of Donald Trump's influence on the CDC but the CDC did better than I thought
Australia very likely went a bit way too far in terms of pandemic laws (if not further). It will take a lot of work for them to undo that in the future.
I have no problems with Ben Shapiro wanting unvaxxed people to be forced to be vaxxed. I feel Shapiro is so far right on so many issues, seeing him go left on that issue (even if I think he went too far on it), is refreshing ,hence my view point on it
Seeing anti pandemic restriction people and anti vaxxers employ SJW and whiny tactics to combat the mandates, restrictions, lockdowns etc caused me to loathe those anti pandemic restriction people and anti vaxxers (especially the right wing ones) and makes me want to see our country permanently have the same restrictions that we had in 2020 forever (non medical reasons).
If the anti pandemic restriction people and anti vaxxers didn't use those methods, I'd sort sympathize with at least some of them (or at least the Left wing anti vaxxers) like how the majority of Canadians sort of sympathized with the Canadian Freedom Convoy truckers
I don't think Ron Desantis is a murderer or 'obsessed with death'. I think his heart was in the right place. I live in Florida and maybe I am biased, but I think he did a decent job with our state during the pandemic if not somewhat stellar job. Don't forget he rightfully issued stay at home orders early in the pandemic which saved countless lives. Now if only Desantis would be good on the economy, not getting involved in our schools and being more likeable, I'd maybe like him more
I am fine with the Trucker Freedom convoy protestors and I don't believe most or the vastly most of them are racists or neo nazis. Justin Trudeau was wrong to smear them harsh labels. They went a bit too far. It was wrong to freeze their bank accounts and to shut their businesses down.
Russia had nothing to do with the Canadian trucker protest
Earth
I would be mistaken for being bigoted against hypothetical/possible humans or intelligent life beings who live deep into the Earth's core/inner core, even though I am not bigoted against them at all .I view all hypothetical/possible humans or intelligent life beings who live deep in the Earth's core/inner core as equal to every race-ethnicity on the Earth's surface and as equal to all humans on the Earth's surface/human species
Etc
I am warming up to the idea of being empathetic to Bioregionalism
Our political, cultural and fiscal systems would be sustained better and be more humane if they were organized differently (i.e around areas that are naturally defined called bioregions).
I always thought that humans are not the best people to create borders. Only God/nature could create good borders. I feel its better for borders to be defined naturally, through things like watershed boundaries, and characteristics of soil and terrain as the way that nature drew them up. This also promotes more interaction with the locals of those areas who can help with focused knowledge and solutions to better sustain such areas than through man made boundaries. Case in point, whenever someone needs help in a new town or city, who is the best person to help them? A local!
Our bioregions' geography, climate, plants, animals etc are a big factor in our interactions and actions toward each other, in short we are 'products of our environment' . As such having bioregions will deepen those natural connections we have with our bioregions, allowing them to shine fiscally, culturally and politically while we become further connecting to it in ways that are liberating.
This would also be better than regional naming which is very fuzzy and imprecise (ask 100 people what states are in the Midwest for example and most of them would not have the same exact states on their lists)
Some bioregions I feel would be great ideas would be obvious ones like the Alaskan Pandhandle (Sitka has more in common with Panhandles communities than with Nome or Barrow), Far Northern California (since once you go north of the Bay Area, it seems like another world from even places like Sacramento, Chico and Napa Valley, more so than areas in inland Southern California do), Ozarks (which even culturally are way different than places in other areas of their states i.e St Joseph Missouri, the Mississippi River valley in Arkansas, Texarkana area of Arkansas, the parts of Oklahoma and Kansas that border Colorado and Nebraska etc)
This is why I am open to Native American sovereignty
Misc
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'
