My poltical viewpoints
I am a Social Democrat (culturally liberal), Conservative Liberal , Libertarian Party (especially Mises Caucus) member and aligned mostly with Republicans
I support the KESK
If I sound to conservative its because being conservative is counter cultural and its fun to be counter cultural (see 1960s counter cultural for an example why)
Fiscal
I am a Social Democrat (anti statist and Social Market variety), Left Libertarian(including Mutualist but especially Mutualism lite [Libertarian Market Socialism] and non socialist Mutualism i.e Market Anarchist)/Minarchist, Anarcho (‘conlib on steroids’ Anarchist) Libertarian and Peronist (Menemism)
I support the Labour Party UK (New Labour/Jeremy Corbyn-Keri Starmer Labour/Third Way/Third Way Social Democracy)
My combined economic views are concepts of Economic Progressiveness (i.e SupCap, Neo Keynesianism, Libertarian Marxism, Democratic Classical Liberalism with some elements of Libertarian Socialism, some ideas from Communism crus romeand other leftish wing schools of socioeconomic thought). This can be seen in virtually all of my economic views in this blog
I support the Libertarian Party Tea Party
Expanded
I want us to either have a New Keynesianism ,Peronist (Menemist) Social Market economy that uses a Social Capital (HumanisticCap fused with DemocraticCap) as a social safety net or to transition to a Post Statist Conservative Revolutionary society
New Keynesianism Peronist (Menemist) Social Market economy that uses a Social Capital (HumanisticCap fused with DemocraticCap) as a social safety net
Based on a macroeconomic school of thought that would strive to provide more consistent micro-foundations to Keynesianism. New Keynesianism would be Keynesian in the short run but neoclassical in the long run
Like for menu costs, the restaurants would print out new menus in response to their price changes. However, the menu cost would actually be the cost of the firms adjusting to their nominal prices.
This burden would cause businesses to change prices slowly instead of continuously.
The macroeconomic effect of changing a single firm's price on the demand of all products would be "aggregate-demand externality."
The staggering of prices: Using this New Keynesian model, enterprises wouldn’t set prices at the exact same time. Each would care about its price relative to the ones that are charged by other firms. Because of this, the prices would be sluggish because no firms would want to be the first to increase its price significantly.
Coordination failure: Because the number of businesses is a lot, it's hard to predict what other businesses may do after the money supply adjustment. The failure of businesses to coordinate such changes in prices is a possible explanation for recessions that New Keynesianism would be used to point out
Efficiency wages: New Keynesianism would be used to show how markets might fail to clear due to the tendency of employers to pay above equilibrium wages.
Abnormally high wages cause existing workers to be more productive and thus less likely to switch to a new job. New Keynesianism would shine a light on this
Moreover, New Keynesianism would have two models that don't appear in traditional Keynesianism:
New Keynesian DSGE model would shine a light on how enterprises and households are assumed to have rational expectations, but prices are set by monopolistically competitive firms and can not shift quickly enough or without cost.
New Keynesian Phillips Curve ,similar to an expectations-augmented Phillips curve, would show ho the trade-off between unemployment and inflation is only applicable in the short run.
New Keynesianism would better for Monetarism and Neoliberalism than regular Keynesianism is to them
This would be paired with a Peronist (Menemist) Social market economy
In this system, there would be some National Liberal Conservatism (similar to Civic Nationalism) including protectionism (or some elements of a modern Convertibility plan), Left Wing nationalism (for legal citizens) fused with psuedo Maoism, Eric Adams law and order, generally variable to liberal policies on social issues, Euroskepticism , strong border security , patriotic values etc
This Social Market economy would use the above New Keynesian model. It would be rooted in free market economic liberalness, along with economic intervention to ensure fair competition(in a New Keynesian way). It would provide a moderate or even more than moderate welfare state.
This Social Market Economy would be manifested in a privatized market economy (used as an allocation mechanism) which output would be increased through moderate/New Keynesian economic interventionism on behalf of the state. This tri pairing could work and may even be complimentary, as this would decrease poverty and still allow economic freedom.
The main tenets of this Social market economy would be private property (including strategic privatizations like in Argentina under Carlos Menem cm), free trade, at least some fiscal conservatismcm, unregulated prices, moderate (or more than moderate) economic intervention, along with other welfare measures like pensions, health care, unemployment benefits. There would also be an occupation of public positions by business people and flexible, level headed , fiscally responsible people cm
In this path there would be direct elections (maybe with ballotage) with the electoral college being abolished cm. There would be
During economic criseses there would likely be a shift toward Social Capital (DemocraticCap-HumanisticCap) as a social safety net which would include either an expansion of the welfare state to mediate social class conflict and catering to worker demands (including social insurance and job training programs) or Universal basic income. Other aspects of this social safety net would be redistributive policies like income transfers fiscal financing of education and expanded pensions
This social safety net would unite humanism (like the safety and health needs of people and the environment) with market forces using a market-based economy with a emphasis on private enterprise.
This Social Capital social safety net would have a business world that would be socially conscious where investors would be content to recoup their investments but would not expect additional dividends. There would be conversion of time deposits into government bonds.
There would be a blending of the non-profit and for-profit sectors in this social safety net. If investors would accept the decrease in financial returns for those on a social level, this Social Capital social safety net would become a successful force in driving economic and social change.
Further more this social safety net would include resource allocation which would be according to both marginal productivity and social need. This would be determined by decisions that would be reached through democratic politics
In this Social Capital social safety there would also be an autonomous democratic state that would enact policies which in effect would create a compromise between upper and lower classes, while it would remain compatible with free-market economic liberalism (as noted above).
This social safety net would also system include cooperative economic institutions including institutions which would facilitate the bargaining between the government bodies and business-labour organizations (like unions), and those organizations that regulate the employee-management relationships within private firms.
Option 2 transition path to a Post Statist Conservative Revolutionary society
We would use a non Socialist Mutualism to get to our Post Statist Conservative Revolutionary society.
We would first need to switch to a Distributist Libertarianism economy before using a a non Socialist Mutualism to get there
With Distributist Libertarianism there would be an economic system based on widely-spread property ownership and a society that is culturally based on Catholic social teachings.
This temporary Distributist Libertarianism economy would not be operated under the belief that laissez-faire Austrian school economics (but it would use this type of Austrian economics) would result in an unfair concentration of power, but rather that the vast majority of concentration of power in a capitalist economic systems occurs due to state intervention in the economy (for example; Intellectual "Property", Subsidies, Inconsistent Taxation, etc)
In this temporary Distributist Libertarianism economy the state would only have most of its power in most matters over the Federal Government. There would be less taxation which would deplete the power of the Federal Government. In turn the government would be forced to give up certain arms that are no longer needed (like the ATF)
Distributist Libertarianism, entails that State's should have In order to achieve that, in the essay "Unlocking Existentialism in An Economy: Southern Distributism in a Nutshell" an idea was proposed that less taxation would starve the power of the. This would require the.
Moreover, , in this temporary Distributist Libertarianism economy , vertical integration would be banned to allow more competition within the market, and to later (as we get closer to our Post Statist Conservative Revolutionary society) have guilds within local economies to protect small businesses and workers
This temporary Distributist Libertarianism economy would contain many dynamic thoughts from a Laissez-Faire approach, to a more "Bull-Moose yet Hamiltonian" Southern Distributism approach. The temporary Distributist Libertarianism economy would structure our society in a way that maximizes human freedom and ensures a wide distribution of wealth.
Then we would be in our non Socialist Mutualism stage. In this non Socialist Mutualism stage, there would be local activist, alternative institutions and mutual-aid organizations formed and direct action
In our non Socialist Mutualism stage , through self organization that is based on cooperative and libertarian participation we would achieve equality. It would be more-or-less market-oriented and more anti corporatist (until we restructure corporatism in our eventual Post Statist Conservative Revolutionary society) than anti Capitalist (but it would still be anti Capitalist)
In our non Socialist Mutualism stage , corporations that are dependent on the state largesse would be seized by workers and others
In our non Socialist Mutualism stage ,redistribution of wealth would occur. However, redistribution of wealth would only be effected by the legal system (apart from the state) than through other methods of redistribution of wealth
That would deny the validity of privileges that were secured by the state which only serve to preserve the well connected bourgeois while causing the poor to be poor. Through solidaristic mutual aide, and via a privilege liberated market (as mentioned above) , people would eat the rich so to speak. Mutual aide would be used here because it treats people giving and receiving aide as equal instead of poor and non poor (so it dignifies the poor)
Other elements of this non Socialist Mutualism stage I would want to be implemented can be found here in this Alliance of the Libertarian Left collection (mostly Murray Rothbard during his alliance with the New Left)
If our non Socialist Mutualism to became bumpy or fell apart (like the USSR’s path to ‘Communism’, we would switch to Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) to lead us to that society
Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) would follow the libertarian principle of limited government that would be combined with the economic view that while the means of production would belong to the workers who use them, the goods and services would be provided through a market (Socialist) economy that worker owned businesses and co-ops contribute to
This would transition path would either a representative state with very limited power, or a municipal direct democracy, most likely with elected administrators who are at higher levels of government
Here are more aspects of how this transition path would be
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, it very well possilikely may include things below:
Individual liberty and unifies the social, individualist, and market schools of anarchist thought,
Free association, free banking, reciprocity in the form of mutual aid, workplace democracy, workers' self-management, gradualism , anti Capitalist and dual power
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path the primary aspects of labor would be required to produce a good or service. Anyone who would sell goods would charge no more than the cost to themselves of acquiring these goods.
Producers would exchange their goods at cost-value using systems of contract.
This could be based on cost-value that is based on fixed assumptions on the value of labor-hours, and other factors such as the labor intensity of labor, work nature . There might be expanded notions of federation.
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path , dual power likely could be used to build alternative institutions to the ones that currently exist in modern society.
As PJ Proudhon exlained “Beneath the governmental machinery, in the shadow of political institutions, out of the sight of statemen and priests, society is producing its own organism, slowly and silently; and constructing a new order, the expression of its vitality and autonomy.”
Dual power is a more specific scenario where a revolutionary entity would be intentionally maintaining the structure of the previous political institutions until the power of the previous institution is weakened enough such that the revolutionary entity could overtake it entirely.
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, association would only be necessary where there would be an organic combination of forces.
This operation would require specialization and a lot of various workers that would perform their individual tasks to complete a unified product (like a factory).
In this situation, in this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, workers very well might be inherently dependent on each other as without association they would be related as subordinate and superior, master and wage slave. An operation that could be performed by an person without the help of specialized workers would not require association.
PJ Proudhon argued that peasants don’t require societal form and that only feigned association that are for solidarity purposes in abolishing rents, buying clubs and so on. Proudhon recognized that their work is inherently sovereign and free
This Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path might involve creating an industrial democracy (a system where workplaces would be democratically handed over to organized workers' associations). Such associations would be models for agriculture, industry and trade.
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite), workers might not any longer sell their labor to a capitalist but rather work for themselves in co-ops.
PJ Proudhon's market socialism that we might use in our Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path is indissolubly linked to his idea of an industrial democracy and the self management of workers
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, there would likely be mutual credit where free banking might be taken back by the people to establish systems of free credit.
This would because the banks have a credit monopoly, just like capitalists have a means of production monopoly or that landlords have a land monopoly.
Banks essentially create money by lending out deposits that don’t actually belong to them, then charging difference interest.
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, if we establish a mutual savings bank or credit union that is run democratically, it would be possible to issue free credit in order for money to be created for the benefit of the participants instead of for the benefit of the bankers.
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, the motto for property might be property is theft", "property is liberty" and "property is impossible“
This would be to distinguish between what two distinct forms of property that are often bound up in the single label.
This is the distinction between property that is created by coercion and property that is created by labor.
Property would be theft when it’s related to a landowner or capitalist whose ownership of it is derived from conquest or exploitation and is only maintained through the state, property laws, police, etc
Property would be freedom for the lower income people or artisan family who has a natural right to a home, land which they may cultivate, basically to tools of a trade and the fruits of that labor. But they would not have them to ownership or control of the lands and lives of other people.
The former would be considered illegitimate property while the latter would be considered legitimate property.
On this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, if we use this system, it would awaken in people the appreciation of and desire for freedom, but also to inspire them a determination to abolish the legal restrictions that are now placed upon non-invasive human activities and to institute (through purely voluntary associations), such measures that will liberate all of us from the exactions of privilege and the power of concentrated capital.
This Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) differs from anarcho-communism and similar collectivist philosophies by its support for private property
Unlike capitalist private-property supporters, Proudhon stressed equality. He believed that all workers should own property and have access to capital. Proudhon stressed that in every co-op "every worker employed in the association [must have] an undivided share in the property of the company"
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, we probably would use Usufruct
If so, land would not be a commodity to be bought and sold, but be conditional titles that would be based on occupancy and use norms.
There would be debate about whether an individual would have a legit claim to land ownership of land if he or she is not currently using that land but in fact already incorporated his or her labor into it.
But there would be no debate about the fact that everything that is produced by human labor and machines would be owned as personal property.
There would be a rejection of the idea of non-personal property and non-proviso Lockean sticky property. Any property that is obtained through through violence, exploitation, or bought with money that was gained violating usufruct property norms would considered illegitimate
By establishing usufruct property norms, exclusive non-personal ownership of the means of production by the capitalist class would be eliminated.
The laboring classes would then be able to directly access the means of production, which would enable them to freely work and produce in worker owned enterprises while they would retain the full value of whatever they sell.
In this Libertarian Market Socialist path (Libertarian Socialism with Market Socialism. i.e Mutualism Lite) transitional path, its more than likely that Wage labor (wage slavery variant) would be eliminated and it would be impossible to become a capitalist due to the widespread labor market would no longer existing. No one would be able to own the means of production in the form of non-personal property (two ingredients that are necessary for the exploitation of labor). The capitalist class would thus labor along with the rest of society
Then we would be in our Post Statist Conservative Revolutionary society
This Post Statist Conservative Revolutionary society would be autonomous , anti capitalist and especially anti international capitalist. It would be part of a bunch of transnational worker societies that would continue to be run with Libertarian socialism within a market socialist economy. But guild socialism would be involved now
The Guild Socialism (which is also libertarian) would advocate for continued and or more worker ownership of the Means of Production but now through trade guilds that would have an implied contractual relationship with the public.
The guilds would also use some aspects of Social corporatist organizational structure and negotiating tactics that are based on a social partnership between the interests of entrepreneurs/unions and labor (there would be no capital or corporations since in our transition phase we phased those out).
They would use collective bargaining and the limited/minimal state or post state adjacent would be involved. They would be mutually engaged consultations that are mediated by the limited/minimum state or post state adjacent.
There would also be even more democratic workplaces
This would be amongst a backdrop of a supranational anarchistic limited/minimum state/post state (similar to what Mikhail Bakunin wanted) . These societies would have some culturally regional liberal chauvinism amongst a greater belonging of this type of supranational structure.
There would be a monarch adjacent (leader) that is counterposed against state or state adjacent bureaucracy, a representative for the people against the limited/minimum state or post state adjacent.
These societies (with big bank broken up and run Mutually) would be autonomously patriotic
These societies would have a Meritocratic system like this but where the community itself gets to decide themselves. This also entails ecological protection of the workers land that they helped create through blood, tears and sweat
These societies might be a Minarchist state with limited or minimal state . This would include temporary measures with a social safety net that benefits the working class (but ideally and likely using non state authority since this Minarchist state would likely have no control over the monetary policy) .
With no state or a limited or minimal state, the Gold standard would be able to be brought back and we would might even have a gold based economy
Antis and Innies
I am an Anti Crony Capitalism , Anti Monopoly Capitalism and systematically very wary of to against virtually all other forms of Capitalism (that I know of)
Capitalism is sadly arising as a new class society which is directly from the old class society of the Middle Ages. Capitalism was founded on an act of massive robbery as the earlier feudal conquest of the land. Capitalism has been maintained to the present time by the continual state intervention to protect its system of privilege without which its survival is unthinkable We need to build worker solidarity. This means through organization, some type of real unionization that are committed to the working class and is interested in worker autonomy, not government patronage and not just the union members themselves left
While I am a Social Democrat and I am pretty much okish with many types of Socialism (like the ones in this blog), I am against Socialism without adjectives and what the Republicans falsely label as ‘Socialism’. To quote F Hayek “if socialists (the bad ones) knew economics they wouldn’t be socialists (the bad forms of socialism)”. I encourage Conservative Socialists to join our side
I am against Authoritarianism
I am anti statism
I am especially anti authoritarian statism
I am generally Anti New Deal as I feel the New Deal lead to a consistent, negative spiral of our country’s values
Objectivism is not sensible. Economic intervention in order to ensure fair competition. But I oppose all government interference in economic affairs that does not align with the Left Libertarian ideology . The latter type of big gov is groundless, pernicious dichotomy
I am Anti Woke Communism, and Anti one word Communism . I am also against the vast majority of all other forms of Communism too. I do incorporate some ideas from Communism (along with Ultranational Conservatism) into my views
I am against the corrupt , anti democratic bourgeois of our society. They use fake philanthropy to profit off of marginalized groups. They are not loyal to the people who depend on them and they also cause scandals and division in our country. We must break down barriers to neutralize their negative effects
I reject mainstream monetary policies and traditional currencies, such as central banking and state-issued currency and possibly replacing them with labor notes (and I prefer the abolishment of wage labor or at the very least reforming the wages system to shift the power balance in workers’ favor)
If AnCaps confusing free markets with Capitalism is disqualifies them as Anarchists so should anti market Anarchists be disqualified for being anti Left Wing Free Market Anarchism since the latter is only against Left Wing Free Markets due to also confusing free markets with Capitalism
I am fine with the fluidity and deep intermingling of AnCaps and Left wing free market Anarchists. Voltairine herself wasn’t afraid to associate with the label of capitalist
I don’t care for Maoism since it started this woke mess we are in now
I am against Cultural Marxism and one word Marxism and we need to stop the spread of Cultural Marxism and reform one word Marxism
The Frankfurt School is related to Post modernism and post structuralism which is basically what we call Cultural Marxism
I am Anti Postmodernism. Post Modernists try to brainwash us and that needs to end
I virtually am against vulgar libertarianism and the rationalization of the power relations that prevail in existing corporate capitalism
labor
I support protecting civil liberties. The state is a foe to our civil liberties and the best way to safeguard our civil liberties is to protect each other’s control over our bodies and justly acquired possessions
I favor co-operative business and collectivized production in ways that can be seen throughout this blog They are better than traditional capitalist systems. I believe Anarchistic concepts like business co ops and collectivism can lead to the type of moral utopia that right libertarians envision (but without capitalism and with anarchist principles).
Workplace hierarchies are often morally objectionable. Hierarchical workplaces are more likely given state action. Hierarchies limit the workers’ ability to use their knowledge and skills to respond in a flexible and effective way to production and distribution challenges and to meet customer needs.
The ineffectiveness of hierarchies make them less common aspects of worklife, and increase the odds that people would be able to choose better alternatives offering more freedom and dignity (self employment or work partnerships or work co ops), in the absence of privileges that lowered the costs of maintaining said hierarchies and raised the costs of opting out of them (like by making self employment more costly, and thus more risky). State action also redirects wealth to those interested in seeing that they and the people like them rule the workplace; and the state’s union regulations limit the ways unions can challenge workplace hierarchies.
I support the right of free people to associate or not associate in labor unions and I believe that employers should have the right to recognize or refuse to recognize a union. I believe unions are cool.
I support trade to be represented by equal amounts of labour in the market. I support grass roots empowerment
We need to build worker solidarity. This means through organization, some type of real unionization that are committed to the working class and is interested in worker autonomy, not government patronage and not just the union members themselves
Third World sweatshops would not be the “best alternative” in the absence of government manipulation
I am against government subsides to buisness labor etc
We must protect the working people
F*ck Right to Work.
As can be seen in this blog, I believe in at least some level of worker ownership of the means of production, which may include co-ops (workers collectively or by the individual(s) using them) trade unions (like the Labour Party UK) , direct democracy or worker councils.
I support solidarity vis-à-vis bosses
I want to humanize work life
Gov bank corp
I support the passage of the Balanced Budget Amendment
I believe the gov’s only role in economics is to protect property rights , adjudicate disputes, and protect voluntary trade through a legal framework
I generally disapprove of the job that Joe Biden has done with the economy as President. Joe Biden has made the economy worse as President
I strongly prefer that corporate privileges be repealed before the regulatory restrictions on how those privileges may be exercised.
I am against Big Corps like Walmart being favored and them being supported by highway subsidies and eminent domain.
I am wary about the fictive personhood of the limited liability corporation
I am against the Parliamentary system
I generally believe in the democratization of the economy to an extent
I generally support free market policies (like free markets combining a market capitalist economic system along with social policies and enough regulation to establish both fair competition within the market and generally a welfare state) This can be seen throughout this blog
I can endure but not really support absentee landlordism
I call for the removal of the Federal Reserve (which I outline above via mutual banking and credit unions etc)
Personally, on intellectual property I tend to drift between Lyndon Spooner thought (pro intellectual property) and 1960s M Rothbardian (anti intellectual property)
I tend to predict a drastic fall in loan prices due to free competition in the credit industry. I deny that it would ever fall to zero. I call this nonzero residuum ‘interest’
I support planned efforts to influence our economy through an organic means of a comprehensive economic policy that is coupled with flexible adaptation to market studies.
I support combining monetary, credit, trade, tax, customs, investment and social policies as well as other measures to create an economy which serves the welfare and ‘needs’ (what I deem as needs) of the entire population
I support increased taxing on oil, alcohol, coal, tobacco
I am mixed on cutting taxes
I am ok with some underground markets
I support the removal of the IRS
I am ok with removing the income tax
I don’t have a lot of confidence in strategies that work through the government
I strongly prefer to develop alternative institutions and methods of working around the state as can be seen throughout this blog
Socioeconomic
I am all for undermining structural poverty. Poverty is not created or perpetuated by the freed market. It is created and perpetuated by large scaled theft and privileges and constraints. This includes punitive licensing requirements, intellectual property rules (which is extremely petty), land use controls, building codes etc .These things stop or hamper people from applying their skills and assets effectively. We must stop those things to stop structural poverty
I support the provision of equal opportunities and for the protection of those unable to enter the free market labor force due of old age, disability, and/or unemployment
I support robust protections for just possessory claims
I support peaceful, voluntary cooperation and the social life it brings
While force may justified only in response to aggression, peaceful, voluntary cooperation is a moral ideal with implications that go beyond simple non-aggression. Associations of all kinds should be structured in ways that affirm the freedom, dignity, and individuality of all participants in those discussions. This would allow participants the option not only of exit but also of voice. There voice would be a voice of influencing the associations’ trajectories and exercising as much individual discretion within them as possible.
I oppose all government interference in socioeconomic affairs that does not align with the Left Libertarian ideology or my views in this blog . That type of big gov is a groundless, pernicious dichotomy
I support very specific forms of Universal Basic Income, ,like the UBI in Alaska as noted in Reason “Every year since 1982, all residents of Alaska receive an equal dividend as their share of the dividend of the Alaska Permanent Fund (APF), now worth over $61 billion. Rich or poor, adult or child, everyone has received a Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) of $1,000 per year on average for over 30 years. Is Alaska a socialist utopia? Do people move to Alaska to worship at the altar of Karl Marx? Nope. Alaska is a red state, but not that kind of red state. It's a conservative state where everyone gets what too many media outlets refer to as "free money.'…” and the forms of UBI that Classical liberals support
I support socioeconomic transformations through combating social ills and injustices
I support poor people’s squatting on government or abandoned property,
I am ok with a healthy class analysis
I am somewhat conditionally very ok with common ownership of property and modern egalitarian holdings of natural resources (ideally unowned but maybe collectively too even if it organized) if it can be done in a way that the Alliance of the Libertarian Left would support
I generally support conditional private property rights, especially based on occupation and use. So I believe in the moral legitimacy of private ownership
I support people controlling their own healthcare by using the tax disbursements to set up their own schools and health care coopertative, including mutualism policies to help other Americans buy superior health insurance and medicine across state lines and across international borders. The government would only collect taxes and distribute the revenue back to the people, it wouldn't run the programs.
I support the repeal of all social health insurance policies for non essential health and medical things and cosmetic surgeries, and and I favor private and consumer driven social insurance policies generally and conditionally only for them
Personally, I would like the welfare system/state to be removed or to be downsized to become a minimal welfare system/state (i.e short term safety nets for the working class). Which might include ending or limiting food stamps, subsized housing, etc. People who cannot support themselves should get help from family, church, community ,private charity etc
Legality wise, I support a moderate Welfare state (possibly similar to the Otto von Bismarck welfare model) and Welfare Chauvinism (I am a Welfare Chauvinist). Legality wise I believe the welfare system/state should be removed only if it means abolishing the government and the bad forms of Capitalism (which we should be striving for)
I support SSI being phased out for a private voluntary system
I believe the state inherently violates personal autonomy
I believe the view that beneficent government has used its power to counter corporate predation, is fundamentally flawed. In my opinion, the government intervention in the economy has largely benefited established players at the expense of marginalized groups,
I am against economic vulnerability . But I believe we need mutual aide (without taxes, regulations and limited medical care) to combat that.
Mutual aide feels more natural and positive than one sided aide and it also removes the poor social stigma of those receiving that aide. Moreover, people can and will spend their own money on poverty relief, but they’re likely to do so much more efficiently and intelligently than state officials deploying tax revenues), poverty-producing state regulations, and limitations on choice in areas like medical care.
Inequitable distribution of wealth is caused more by monopoly (like Facebook, Twitter, Nike, Disney), which deprives labor of its product. We must destroy the banking monopoly, establish financial freedom, and then down will go the interest on money via competition that is beneficently influenced
Capital will be set free (and then reformed via Social Democracy) and basically be something different, businesses will grow and do good, new enterprises will start up, labor will be in demand, and eventually labor wages will increase to a level with its product
I am generally against government regulations in minimum wage since it drives up the cost of hiring workers. I favor loosening minimum wage laws so that overall unemployment rate can be reduced and low-wage workers, unskilled workers, visa immigrants and those with limited education or job experience can find employment.
I support a repeal of any laws which impede the ability of any people to find employment while I oppose government fostered-forced retirement and heavy interference in the bargaining process.
I am not a fan of Build Back Better
etc
I am against the federal government giving money to cities and states for Halloween events, Halloween merchandise, Valentine’s Day events and Valentine’s Day merchandise. That is evil communism and I won’t let those states and cities use that money for Halloween or Valentines Day .I won’t even allow those states and cities to get that money from the federal government for those purposes. Ronald Reagan and Freddie Hayek would fully agree with me on this
I want all money that states and cities have allocated for Halloween and Valentines Day to be reallocated to non holiday related things.
Values
I really feel that Anarchists should have a good head on their shoulders
I support national values
I support moral values
I am against people throwing other people, especially in work and politics under the bus
I am a fan of Survivalism and I think it is a good concept to live by
I support Individualism (including ‘gross’ individuality) and Individual sovereignty .Individualism is when you recognize the family unit and household can be as exploitative as the factory. I am strongly in favor of individual liberty
I am a Pacifist (though Anarcho Pacifist fits better) with some elements of the non aggression principle thrown into the mix. I reject all violence even for defensive purposes in virtually nearly all cases
I am against people having a sense of entitlement
I am open minded to the view that lower class people (and people of all classes for that matter) being raised in single parent homes instead of 2 parent homes is an issue that needs to be discussed.
I believe if lower income people had the same type of parenting they had around the mid 20th century our country would be better. Parents should always know where their children are and what they are doing. It should be harder for young people to hooky from school nowadays. Until we destroy the heiarchal unit, we have adhere to traditional family structure
Christians should do a better job helping the lower class in their communities. We can’t rely on police to do it
Lower class people shouldn't blame society for their ills but blame themselves for their problems
Some of my Anarcho Libertarian ideologies comes from similar ways of thought that Classical Liberalism comes from .But I feel that Classical Liberalism should reject the state and all those other meaningless social constructs.
LGBTQ
I downplay gay issues as I tend to focus on other issues. I am at least nominally accepting of gay people
Personally, I support incrementalism for gay marriage
Legality wise, I am live and let live on gay marriage
I believe the US should abolish Civil Marriage, Common Law Marriage and Religious Marriage and make Privatized Marriage the only legal form of marriage for both straight couples and gay couples. This way, the government stays out of the marriage business
Personally, I feel parental presumption and second parent adoption should be the only way gays are allowed to adopt children
Legality wise I conditionally support gays adopting children (including without parental presumption and second parent adoption) since I am a Libertarian but only as I write below
Legality wise , I am Conservative Liberal lean undecided on whether I believe that gay couples should have parental presumption in terms of adoption.
Legality wise I am against anti gay discrimination laws for adoption centers because I am Libertarian
Legality wise, I support second parent adoption for gay couples, I am not crazy it and I'd much prefer instead a model like Australia had in 2008 where a non biological parent apply to a family court as 'other people significant to the care, welfare and development' of the biological or adoptive child of their partner. This stuff can cover parental and responsibility. It is simple and can also grant extensive rights to the co-parent. This would also provide a status quo if the birth parent or legal parent were to die, preventing other family members from taking immediate custody of the child.
I am against gay conversion therapy being banned because I am a Libertarian
I am fine with gays serving in the military openly. Some AXIS power soldiers in World War II were gay and the AXIS powers were bada**es and very hard to defeat. So that is proof gays are better soldiers than straights and our military needs all the help it can get
If you think I am against people being gay and I think they should be straight,I won’t make you believe otherwise. I would be doing a dishonor to my faith if I didn’t write this (since too many Christians are afraid to): Try once to get gay friends , families or acquaintances to be Christian (which will lead to them being straight) if there is an opening and they seem very open to it. If not, their hearts are hardened and let them be.
I am against Lesbian Erasure. Whether we agree with their actions or not, they should not be encouraged to or forced to be fluid or to transition to another gender. If we are going to give homosexuals visibility in the LGBTQ movement, I believe its only fair to give Lesbians equal visibility within the LGBTQ movement too
I am against Universal Basic Income and similar gov assistance being targeted just to low income gay people instead of every low income person of all identities
I am against reparations for gays
I am an ally to LGBTQ conservatives depending on how they define themselves
I support Straight Pride
I am against Heterophobia, there is nothing wrong or oppressive about being heterosexual
I take a Malcolm Turnbull like position on whether I believe gays should be allowed to be boy-scout leaders, on Florida’s anti grooming law, and on a few specific gay issues
LGBTQ people refuse to work with people etc who are against them existing in their LGBTQ forms do that is why many of them are liberal and anti anti gay
Trans
I take a Conservative Liberal stance on Transgender rights. Any viewpoint that I don't list below on the transgender issue, I am Conservative Liberal on. I am not crazy about gender ideology . Some of my other views on transgender rights also align with this redditers views on transgender rights
I am against Universal Basic Income and similar gov assistance being targeted just to low income Transgender people instead of every low income person of all identities
I support transgender marriage
I believe that there is a biological difference between males and females.
Biological Males have penises , Biological females have breasts and vaginas. SCIENCE SAYS SO. Anyone who says otherwise is a nuts. Science says so
I am against people being arrested for deadnaming and criticizing people being trans (due to freedom of speech)
It is NOT transphobic for non transgender people to not want to date transgender people.
It should be a law that children should have to notify their parents if they want to be transgender. It is futile for me to try and stop kids or teens from being transgender since the LGBTQ lobby will bully their way to stop anti trans laws. God isn’t going to be as liberal as me on this issue, it is their waterloo.
I echo this NY Post article https://nypost.com/2021/03/01/a-society-that-cant-debate-trans-ideologys-effects-on-kids-isnt-a-democracy/
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.
I am mixed on most non discrimination LGBTQ laws. Some non discrimination LGBTQ laws I support. Some non discrimination LGBTQ laws I am against (for Libertarian reasons)
I am against hate crime laws for hate crimes against LGBTQ people (for Libertarian reasons)
Taboo
I am against pornography and I believe it should be demonetized. Pornography has nothing in common with Libertarian values. I am fine with erotica
I am strongly against Polygamy, Polyamory and open marriages. I don't want anyone to engage in Polygamy, Polyamory or open marriages ever.
I am against pedophilia
Wmn
I downplay abortion issues since it is so divisive . Fixing fiscal and background issues will help solve abortion issues indirectly
There is nothing wrong with someone being happy they or their loved ones weren’t aborted
I realize a lot of women have unwanted pregnancies and feel trapped without abortion access, so that plays into my abortion views below
Personally, I am Pro Life for personal reasons on early term abortion except for incest and to save the life of the mother (Libertarians for life)
Legality wise, I am Third Position on early term abortion, I am open to good faith pro life opinions which could make me Legality wise Pro Life on early term abortion
Personally and legality wise, I am Pro Life for late term abortion except as noted below
Personally I am Conservative Liberal on late term abortion for rape, incest and to save the life of the mother
Legality wise since I am Libertarian, I am Pro choice on late term abortion for rape (if it is really rape), incest and to save the lie of the mother
I against partial birth abortion and live birth abortion even for babies conceived via rape or incest
Babies who survive an abortion should get medical care even if they were conceived via rape or incest
I am ok with relaxing restrictions on Mifepristone
I am pragmatically against funding to Planned Parenthood (Libertarian reasons)
I support the Hyde Amendment
We shouldn't debate about Somatic Cell nuclear transfer because that is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares what Somatic Cell nuclear transfer, let's focus on real issues. If good comes out of Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, then that is a good thing
I am apolitical on stem cell research
Personally, I am open minded to Prostitution being decriminalized but for the buyer ,the sex worker would not get in trouble for it at all, the pimp and his/her go between should go to prison for it. Prostitution should not be legalized because regulation
Legality wise, I am Apolitically Conservative Liberal on Prostitution being legalized without being regulated and between Sixth Political Position and lean against Prostitution being legalized with regulation in any case regulation intensifies the risks associated with Prostitution.
Legality wise, I do not believe that Prostitution should be decriminalized since I am anti work
Fem
If I was born in the early mid 21st century, mid 21st century, late 21st century etc, I would be even more liberal on feminism and woman’s rights even than I am now since I’d be more native to it. I am tempted to say that maybe I wish women in the US in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s decade could have had the type of equality that women in the US have in the 2020s, 2030s, 2040s etc
I am a Individualist Feminist/Libertarian Feminist
I support individualism, personal autonomy, choice, consent , freedom from state sanctioned discrimination, equality under the law for all women
I also incorporate some Anarcha Feminist ideology into my views, as such I am not thrilled with political feminism and gender feminism so we need to abolish hierarchies including the patriarchy (using gender acceleration and freed markets) so we don’t give political feminism or gender feminism an excuse to exist
I support free choice for women. Women (or men for that matter) shouldn’t follow hive mind thinking and should be free to express themselves without obstruction or harming others.
The patriarchy is a direct result of the hierarchies, so by dissolving authoritarianism we can dissolve the patriarchy, the hierarchies and thus have absolute equality of the genders, races, and social status. This is something we should be striving for sooner rather than later
Women should always get paid equally to men. I support income equality
I support woman's suffrage
Moreover we should support Women's rights because our mothers are (or were if they died) women and they gave birth to us.
Men's issues
The documentary Red Pill makes more than some good points and at worst I am pretty sympathetic towards it
I believe there is nothing wrong with men showing chivalry to women and I know that chivalry is not sexist
In general, there is nothing wrong with Masculinity if there is no hate or sexism involved in it (and as long as it doesn’t go overboard)
Personally and Systematically , since I am a Libertarian, I support freedom of movement including migration and emigration as a human right. The government should not discriminate on a persons lace of origin. So personally and systematically I support Amnesty, with little to no restrictions. However migrants with violent backgrounds or intents should not be allowed to become American citizens, and possibly should be deported
Legality wise, on migration/refugees my ideal policy is somewhere between a a 'just short of a Path to Citizenship' policy (like the one in Build Back Better), a pragmatic slightly more conservative version of the Self Deportation policy and a somewhat more liberal Guest worker program that also fuses with Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party UK's Points Based Immigration System . I also favor a modern IRCA at some point in the next decade or so but a IRCA with a Mises caucus would amendment
Legality wise, I agree with a lot of the Bush Center's migration policies
Migrants to the US should learn English
I support Malcolm Turnbull’s migrant exchange with the US (assuming the migrants were vetted enough)
I am against closed borders for Libertarian reasons
On free healthcare for illegals I between tolerate and support incrementalism
I condone Australia’s hardline immigration laws under Scott Morrison in 2020 and 2021 since in 2020 and 2021 Australia needed to heavily restrict immigration
I support Brexit
I am a Euroskeptic
I am against the TPP
RE
I downplay the racial unrest issues and focus instead on fixing related problems that can solve those issues indirectly and unite all
Race and ethnicity doesn’t matter to me
Equality trumps Equity
I fully support Black Individualism
I support Black Anarchism because Black culture is oppositional and always about finding creative ways to resist oppression. Black Anarchism is not so tied to the color of POCs’ skin but who they are as people, as people who can resist, who see things differently when they are stuck and thus live differently, hence my reasons for supporting Black Anarchism
As a Libertarian I shouldn’t really support Affirmative Action. The government has no right to get involved like that and play moral cop and big brother. But I do support Affirmative Action because every rule has an exception and my anti big brother rule has an exception for Affirmative Action. But, I have a better idea, I feel instead of Affirmative Affirmative Action, the US should incentive jobs to get rid of bosses and allow workers to be their own bosses. Then have the US semi directly create stimulating social programs for workers and potential workers to form worker bonds between the workers and potential workers, to promote the unique contributions they make or could make
I am anti woke and my anti woke views match the Mises caucus’s anti woke views but in a nice, friendly way. Wokeness is reactionary, illogical, polarizing and a threat to our freedom and democracy
I am against Asian students being discriminated against in admissions by colleges such as Yale. Colleges should stop discriminating against Asian students. I support Donald Trump's lawsuit against Yale.
I do not believe that White privilege is real. But believing the White privilege narrative is less bad than believing in human privilege (lesser of two ‘evils’). I don’t think blacks would or should care if I don’t believe their theory
I have never and I will never apologize for being white. It is okay to be any race or ethnicity as long as you don’t think your race or ethnicity is better than other race and ethnicities
I echo what the person who sent the letter in this article wrote: https://medium.com/@soumynona_/anonymous-letter-from-uc-berkeley-professor-in-response-to-black-lives-matter-protests-24a66a6f1ca7
No person who is not mad (mad as in crazy) would confuse me with a BLM supporter . I am not cool enough for BLM. I believe in worker liberation and the destruction of virtually all Capitalism (worker liberation post Capitalism will help liberate all marginalized groups and give them equality)
I support their freedom to protest whatever they want as long as they are peaceful. I much prefer Burgess Owens and his views on race and ethnicity to BLM and their views on race and ethnicity. I support Black Anarchists not affiliated with BLM and their fight for more equality.
I believe All Lives Matter equally and all people on Earth are equal. Woke Communism and racism are both similar (horseshoe theory),see see this meme for more. I echo the views in that meme
I am not an antiracist. I pragmatically am a symbolic anti anti anti antiracist
I am glad that Mitt Romney marched with BLM since that shows us what Republicans we can and cannot trust in terms of working with to combat wokeness
I am against the CRT being taught in schools (since it is the type of Marxism I hate, it is reactionary and is Center left extremism) I am a Libertarian so I would not try to censor it. It is best that anti CRT parents get elected to school boards to prevent it from bring taught in schools. If schools want to teach kids how to be ‘antiracist’,instead if teaching them the CRT, they should instead teach them the bible and biblical values .The bible is a far better guide on how to be ‘antiracist’ than the CRT could ever be
I have supported Interracial Marriage since I’ve been born, and I will continue to support it for the rest of my life. Even if I wasn’t an Anarcho Libertarian my entire life, I’d still support Interracial Marriage for my entire life.
The white genocide conspiracy theory is not real , interracial marriage and migration are not a legitimate form of genocide
I am pro WBIPOC+
Youth disabled
I support children’s liberation . I am against paternalistic state action against children which interferes with their freedom
We need to emphasize the degree that the state is not the protector of children but that it is responsible for threats to their freedom including via compulsory schooling and anti child labor laws. This also explains why I support homeschooling
I also don’t like how children are treated as property by their parents which is due to arbitrary ageist rules
Youth I only pragmatically support the type of child 'labor' (ie home enterprise labor for children) that is in this link https://www.flickr.com/photos/56434318@N05/6620143751 (as long as its voluntary) for children around 6 and up and only if the children get paid as much as adults with higher incentives than adults in similar jobs
I pray that every American child, after to being open to kids 8 and up from the US doing the type of child labor that was seen at jobs like the factories and mills of Appalachia/Carolinas in the mid to late 1900s (decade) , including 12 hour overnight shifts but only if they get paid triple of what adults get paid, get free college and grad school and breaks for school
I support prayer in public schools but I would not want the constitution changed to allow that
IP
I am an Anarcho Libertarian and because of that , I accept humans as they are (right here right now) which is true liberty . I disavow any view that is the opposite of this view
I support civil liberties. But I realize that the state is a predictable foe of these liberties. I feel that the most effective way safeguard those liberties is to protect people’s control over their bodies and justly acquired possessions.
I support equality of authority. There is no natural right to rule and non-consensual authority is presumptively illegitimate. But I also believe that moral equality that underlies belief in equality of authority should also entail the rejection of subordination and exclusion on the basis of nationality, gender, race, sexual orientation, workplace status, or other irrelevant characteristics.
I always fight against oppression
Anarcho Libertarianism is good because it (along with opAnarchism as a whole) has a unique focus on community and collaboration that goes deeper than hollow tone deaf ,inclusive Capitalism
We need to end the hate by eliminating all of our unjust hierarchies (political, economic, social etc). I want the true abolishment of all organized hierarchies. This will to a post hiearchyless world where people will be freed their hate and hostility to people who are different than they are.
When we abolish the state, people will be freer to live off the grid, in communes fused with covenant communities since being free of the state gives people greater freedom and mobility
All of the bigoted isms (sexism, racism, heterosexism, nativism, National Chauvinism etc) are clearly repugnant as history has taught us. We have to recognize and empathize the state’s role in creating, perpetuating and exploiting these unfair mechanisms while we need to eliminate these state props for prejudice induced conduct to play a important role in countering discrimination. I am suspicious of the state and respectful of just possessory claims. I stress non aggressive solidarity acts to deal with such discrimination so we can make society more free and less unjust toward marginalized people
States play a big role in the oppression of people if all identities. The birth certificate defines our gender, age etc while legal guardianship traps us in the patriarchal family structure which includes, for better or worse, marriage
Hierarchies are intrinsically dangerous to people who are marginalized. Anarchism spectrum ideologies (like Anarcho Libertarianism) are good because they take down hierarchies. It is all about individual freedom and self determination
I am a Christian Nationalist
I am a Civic Nationalist
I support Egalitarianism. Equality is my guiding light and equality is more important than and comes before freedom
I support American Patriotism to an extent
I support Banal Nationalism fused with National Centristism
I am a Pragmatic Constitutional Conservative
I have no issues with Western culture (except when it is exported abroad then I have issues with that)
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.
I am not against Right Wing Nationalism. I just think the concept of nations are evolving, and Right Wing Nationalism is too simplistic. If there was a way to inject Right Wing Nationalism with a shot of Transnational Historic Progressiveness , I would be open to a discussion about me begrudingly supporting it
I reject identity politics as weaponized tribal collectivism that is antithetical to individualism
It is ok that some relationships (like close acquaintances and monogamous relationships) are exclusionary to other people. There is no bright line rule regarding permissible and impermissible exclusion. Ideally (though not a deal breaker), when particular intimate sub communities justifiably exclude someone—for the simple reason that they would cease to be the kinds of communities they are if they weren’t strictly (lime limited in size), there is clearly room for the excluded person in the broader community of which they are components. Ideally they would be welcomed/included there
When justifiable exclusion occurs, it should ideally not reflect false beliefs about or unreasonable reactions to some group of which the excluded person belongs.
For example, perhaps A acts reasonably in deciding not to marry B because of vital differences in the ways in which B and A understand the nature of marriage, differences that might come to light from B’s membership in a certain group with a traditional view of marital relationships in a specific way.
But this is different from A’s deciding not to marry B either because of the fact that certain visible members of B’s group hold marital views even if (1) A does not know that B has those views or (2) B credibly denies having those views or (b) A holds to a prejudice against members of B’s group, like believing that cohabitation with a member of this group would make someone like A unclean.
From my position, I generally oppose exclusion. I make reasonable exceptions only/roughly when they don’t involve exclusion from large and relatively impersonal communities and relationships and only when they are not rooted in false beliefs or unreasonable reactions.
By saying that exclusion is morally objectionable that does not determine what counts as an appropriate solution for morally unjustifiable exclusion. It isn’t helpful or needed to justify exclusion as reasonable or morally appropriate, to be against to the use of physical force to counter exclusion. Though I believe in some rarer cases using physical force to combat exclusion is justifiable if done the right way with an eye for forcing said hierarchal systems to be destroyed quickly
I do not condemn Western Chauvinism as long as it is a friendly rivalry type Chauvinism (like sports fans being Chauvinistic about how their teams are the best or better ,in a normal, way, that type of Western Chauvinism ok). I do condemn the bigoted forms of Western Chauvinism
I generally agree with this blog post but I am against the author of it using the term ‘blood and soil’. Using that term is wrong , ignorant and bigoted
I support the Mises Institute even though I disagree with them on some issues
I am against White Nationalism
I strongly dislike fascism
I don’t like Ultranationalism since it is basically xenophobic. But it suits its adherents fine
PC SJW CC
My views on PC, SJW and cancel culture reflect the IDW especially Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin
I am against Cancel culture and SJWism
I am against Censorship especially social media censorship (except when its used against the left)
Good quote "While I’m in full belief that even SJWs have the capacity for rational and critical thought, the fact that they choose not to employ it, even in the face of brutal facts, earns them the label of NPC. If your entire identity revolves around the superficial, and your entire belief system revolves around instructions from someone else, then you’re about as good as a computer program. If you won’t engage in civil debate, and instead scream tired phrases at people when you run out of things to say, then there’s no person there, just a shell that somebody else is speaking through"
I believe that political correctness was created in good intentions (as a lot of bad things are), but is way too often overused, misused, or taken way out of context (understatement of the century and to say the very least). I use tough love with a bit of PC methods to combat PC ,and some IDW methods (but I agree a lot with the IDW on the negatives of political correctness) Free speech trumps PC. As shown below, the PC movement has now gone to the extreme and needs to be rolled back
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 extremist trolls
There is NOTHING offensive about the 1964 Rudolph Red Nosed Reindeer movie
There is nothing offensive about the movie Airplane (ie there was nothing offensive about that jive scene by Barbara Billingsley). People who are offended by the jive scene in particular are ignorant of the whole background and context of it
There is NOTHING offensive or wrong about using these phrases and I want people to use these phrases MORE than they do now just to piss off the extreme fringe left nut speech police: “Don’t cry over spilled milk”, “packed like sardines”, “on a wild goose chase”, “ants in your pants”, “walking on egg shells”, “kill two birds with one stone”, “let the cat out of the bag”, “take the bull by the horns”, “be a guinea pig”, “hold your horses”, “open a can of worms”, “bring home the bacon”, “beat a dead horse”, “put all your eggs in one basket”, “bullpen”
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE INACCURATE WAYS THAT ANIMALS ARE PROTRAYED IN ENTERTAINMENT , ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE IS AN IDIOT
The song Baby It's Cold Outside is not a date rape song and it should be left alone and be as mainstream as it was in the mid 2010s and prior since it was first released. It should not have been a victim of PC snowflakes (pun intended) who are jealous that Dean Martin . Blaming that song for date rape is like blaming video games for violence
I don't find Ari's treatment of Lloyd in Entourage offensive, it's so over the top it can't be taken seriously, and Ari loves Lloyd (not like that).
There is nothing offensive about Notre Dame’s sports teams being called the ‘Fighting Irish’
There is NOTHING offensive about the 1960s TV series Get Smart
There is NOTHING offensive about Goonies (1985 movie)
There is NOTHING offensive about flavored ice being called Italian Ice
There is NOTHING offensive about the way people are portrayed on Disney's Jungle Cruise ride pre 2020s. They are fictional and don't apply to a real life location
There is NOTHING offensive about the puking scene in Kingpin where Woody Harrelson's character pukes after having sex with an old lady
There is nothing offensive about how Angelica showed tough love to the other babies in the 1990s Rugrats series
There is NOTHING wrong about airing Saturday morning cartoons and having commercials for sugary snacks , candies and cereals that air during commercial breaks during those cartoons
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
There is NOTHING offensive about the Splash Mountain Disney ride
There is NOTHING offensive about the song 'Whistle while you work'
There is NOTHING offensive about snow being called white or the term 'white as snow'
I don’t think the Cleveland INDIANS should have changed their name. I hope they bring the name back as an alternative nickname without Native American or India connotations .They will always be the Indians to nearly everyone who watches their games
I want the Edmonton Elks to be renamed the Edmonton Teumversan Haulieramatackoos
Eskimo Pie should kept the name Eskimo Pie and NOT given in to the PC police but if they must use a new name they should be called Nanurjuk Pie
The Washington Commanders should be renamed the Washington Na’vi (after the Na’vi of Pandora in Avatar), Washington Bounty, Washington Guardians
Crime
I am ok with Alvin Bragg not prosecuting low level offenses. But he should be consistent with not prosecuting low level offenses and the media should make it clear toeveryone that he isn’t going to prosecute low level offenses
A lot of criminals are poor or have low paying jobs because they didn’t want to go to college to get an education
People shouldn’t be apathetic to criminals or counterproductive aspirations, they should try to concern themselves or help said criminals . This is the spirit of helping
I am pragmatically against Criminal Justice Reform
I am more than tolerant on the view that people who are arrested for stealing are not political victims but common criminals
I am against defunding or abolishing the police but we should challenge any violence including police violence
I am lenient to open hearted to the idea of privatizing the police, see https://actionnetwork.org/groups/privatize-the-police and https://libconlib23.blogspot.com/2022/08/reason.html
I am pragmatically Radically Centrist lean moral strong support (as in moral victory) on the Qualified immunity act
I support Breonna’s Law (we should not live in a world where we should worry about the police killing us or our family while we are in our homes or where police can bust into our homes in the middle of thr night while we are sleeping)
I support the ban of the warrantless use of various forms of surveillance technology from plate readers to stingray.
I believe we need to reduce the police by not giving them a reason to be so bloated through better healthcare, education system and better housing instead of directly (since those things would mean low crime and low crime would lead to a reduction in police)
I am against the Death Penalty in over 90 percent of death penalty verdicts
I support pragmatic law and order
Drugs
I am against Cocaine, Heroin, LSD, Fentanyl, Crystal Meth, Synthetic Marijuana, Purple Haze and Crack being legalized or decriminalized.
I only want non synthetic Marijuana to be legalized on the state level for rec use and decriminalized on the federal level for rec use . I want non synthetic Marijuana to be legalized on the state and federal level for medical use.
People should NOT use Cocaine, Synthetic Marijuana, Crystal Meth, Purple Haze, Heroin, Fentanyl, LSD or Crack for rec use ever. Just say no. I am neutral on whether they should use non synthetic Marijuana for rec use
I am fine with Mushrooms being legalized and Special K being decriminalized
I can live with Cocaine (powder and injectable) and Crack (powder only) being legal for something between medical use and rec use but with high regulation and as a social experiment. If everything goes good with that social experiment, I will then be open hearted to Cocaine (powder and injectable) and Crack (powder only) being decriminalized for rec use
Employees should be fired for doing drugs while working since drugs have no place on the job . I support drug testing for all rec drugs and jobs having rules against employees doing drugs.
I believe the opoid epidemic is a myth
I support mandatory minimum sentencing for some hard drug users as long as they are put on work furlough then a nursing home to finish out their sentence where they would get less time unfree than they do now under mandatory minimum sentencing
I support bringing the Anti Drug Abuse Act of 1986 back but only for people in the future caught with future drugs worse than Fentanyl and for middle men/women in the drug dealing trade caught with most types of hard drugs
Guns
My views on gun rights generally match the Libertarian Party’s views on gun rights. Banning guns won’t stop shootings
I don’t believe that Australia’s strict gun laws should be applied here. I won’t criticize Australia for their strict gun laws
I am personally against guns, I'd prefer people use bows, yumis and crossbows instead of guns but I still respect the 2nd Amendment
I am fine with Florida’s gun laws, including them not allowing teens to buy guns
I would get a floating B from the early 2010s NRA
If we MUST ban some guns, I'd prefer incentives (and also allowing gun owners to trade their guns for bows, yumis and crossbows).
I support incrementalism in moving toward universal background checks
Polemic
Voting
We should bring back the Articles of the Confederation
I support sort of photo or non photo ID for people to vote
I support having poll workers obsessively and thoroughly reading and checking the voter rolls
I won’t touch the ‘Was the 2020 election stolen by the Democrats?’ debate with a 39 and a half foot poll. Even if 2020 Presidential election was stolen or not, we need to put it behind us and focus on 2022, 2024 etc instead of trying to undo that election.
I , like Rand Paul believe like that voting to overturn the 2020 US Presidental Election (ie state certified elections) would have been contrary to states rights and would have destroy the Electoral College forever. The Electoral college gives all of the power we need in terms of elections. States rights are something we Republicans have always advocated for.
Our founding fathers never wanted our Congress to be able to overturn state certified elections so overturing the verdict of the election is against the oath of the congresspeople. Overturning the results would overturn states rights, and federalism which our founding fathers bestowed upon us. Moreover it would create chaos
Let the Jan 6ers be pardoned like Ulyess Grant pardoned the Confederates so our country can heal and move on. I refuse to condemn the January 6 protestors. Enough people did that
The MSM demonizing the January 6 protests and Freedom convoy but pretending that the BLM 2020 protests were ‘peaceful’ (yeah right) is a perfect example of a corrupt, evil liberal state run media. The BLM protests were no better than those other 2 protests
The liberal MSM, corporations, Hollyweird, Big Tech etc wouldn’t go through all this trouble to censor Anti liberal criticism, and any info that goes against the liberal hive mind group think which they do via canceling, smearing (‘Disinformation’ Board ie Ministry of Truth), rigging search results, banning, lying deplatforming, etc if conservatives weren’t at least somewhat correct. The more the liberal oglilarchy in this country goes nuts at a conservative view the more I know that conservative view is correct
Acts
Decision making should be decentralized. I support decentralization .People should be able to fully participate in shaping decisions that are relevant to their lives. But this should only occur via secure pre political rights, all associations should be consensual . Decision makers who use a forcible top down approach are likely to have their decisions tainted by their fallibility due to their self interest motives at the expense of the public.
This is why small sized political units (maybe even radically localized ones), are humanizing but decentralization here means localized down to the level of the individual person
As an Anarcho Libertarian I feel that the system of democracy, of majority decision, is held null and void. Any infringement upon the natural rights of me or other persons is unjust and a symbol of majority tyranny. Assembly is much better than Democracy
The reason I am so ‘liberal’ on many issues is because I have empathy and I am a Libertarian
I am fine with practical and pragmatic decentralization
I am against denigrated democracies, I am wary of liberalness and progressive causes due to that and the due to fact I frankly don’t care about that stuff due to our bourgeois system within that causing political nihilness in me
Decision making should be decentralized. People should be able to fully participate in shaping decisions that are relevant to their lives. But this should only occur via secure pre political rights, all associations should be consensual .

As great as the 1964 Civil Rights act was, it caused a slippery slope with transvestites (cross dressers etc), drugees , felons, illegals, and pedos. Moreover it lead to Affimative Action ‘quotas’ for LGBTQ people which go against the very nature of that act. But I don’t want it amended or overturned because doing so would create a slippery slope in the opposite direction.
If the Libertarians like the Mises caucus got it amended or overturned ,instead of me aggressively interfering with that law being amended or overturned , I would morally critique that law being amended or overturned and non-aggressively oppose that law being amended or overturned. These two articles touch on this a bit
Bias
I am against Microsoft and social media using fact checkers like they do. People are smart enough themselves to decide if something is true or ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation’. It is an insult to our intelligence to decide ‘for us’ what is or isn’t ‘true’. Such intrusiveness by Big Tech can have unintended consequences. We cannot allow elitists and bourgeois ‘experts’ run our lives, tell us what to think, do, feel etc. It is 2022, not 1984
I feel that Government bureaucracy might not be efficient
I agree with and side with Vaush https://archive.ph/Ygbzk

I fight against the will of the authoritative majority
I fight for people not to assimilate into the authoritative majority’s hive mind
I feel that only the self may rule their own person.
I am an ally of Liberal Conservative Republicans
Right Wing Populists do a fair job at echoing some of my values, policies and I like a few such politicians.
But I am against Right Wing Populists saying utter nonsense at times and being rude. They need to learn when to shut up
Paleoconservatives need to be less edgy and less statist for me to be an ally of them
The Republicans in the 1980s were a very 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 who while fairly good aren't great like back then. 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 like the 1980s Republican party so much,
The Republicans in the early to mid 1990s were still a very good party. Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bel Air was a great Republican. He rightfully belived in Affirmative action and fair housing for his community and he was moderately conservative on other issues while rightfully having faith in institutions like the courts.
I am neutral in the Culture Wars
Mark Twain said it best "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect"
I am anti Neocon
I was sympathetic to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign to him being anti war and a Populist . I was more for the process of Donald Trump more than his politics.
I ok with Traditional family values reforming as our way of life in a post hierarchy world
We must protect liberty
Every policy and major government initiative in the US were NOT and are NOT for the purposes of maintaining White supremacy (at least since the early 1970s). Anyone who says otherwise is a deluded anti white conspiracy theorist nut who hates the US
Bad Apples
In an ideal society people who are too right wing would be guillotined in effigy
I am against Progressives labeling anything they don’t like as ‘reactionary’. What they call reactionary are people who need to calm down
I am an enemy (ymmv) of the Alt Right . The Alt right should clean their rooms and get wasted instead of being trolls. Their views are disturbing. They spend too much time online. The alt right needs to open themselves up to opportunities that they wouldn't materially be aware of (ie being Queer Anarchists or being Anarcha Feminists or pro Muslim) to become non bigoted
You can some up my political views as Kakistocracy
It is ok for conservatives to drop friends who are liberal or so far right they’re left
I realize some far right people are that way sue to them being contrarian but that is no excuse .They are probably fascists
I am anti establishment. My ideal society would be literally stateless (no government) and self governing. There would be no government or state organizations , no police state etc. The community would defend itself and each other through gun ownership and community self defense.
When we rightfully get rid of government and become self governing, there won’t be a need to have our rights ‘justified’ or ‘affirmed’ by Aristocratic, moral authority governments, since in that world there would be no state and true ,natural equality, free of hierarchies . We should not need to justify or affirm or rights to bureaucratic overlords who have dominion over us, we don’t need or want the governments bourgeois approval for our self evident natural rights. No one should have dominion over anyone
Int General
I am virtually anti war for Libertarian reasons
I am against colonialism and I support third world anti colonial movements over the last century or so
I am very pro Military and very pro Veteran despite being anti war
I am against Imperialism but then again is imperialism THAT bad (though it is wrong and bad)
It is wrong for the EU or US etc to try to force LGBTQ issues on Eastern European countries or non pro LGBTQ countries using economic bully or military tactics. That is LGBTQ imperialism and wrong
I am a non interventionalist
I support America’s sovereignty
I wish our war political machine would focus more on conserving our values rather than intervening in foreign affairs. Bombing the Middle East did not solve anything. But I am fine with Ronald Reagan doing it
I am against Globalism
I am against Globalization
I am fine with Gitmo remaining open. If I wasn’t a Christian, I would feel and say “I would’t mind some imperialist warmonger neocons-libs , SJWs (on both sides), and very specific scholars-academics (on both sides) thrown in Gitmo so they can learn empathy, but since I am Christian ,I don’t feel that and thus won’t say that
I was and I still am against the Patriot Act
I support Radical Localism and , Bioregionalism and Pan Secessionism (the non bigoted type)
I sort of believe in a hierarchyless society there might still be a need for generals and leaders like in the 1930s Manchuria and Korea
IP
I am generally Pro Israel but they and the Palestinians are statist and I am anti statist so that is an issue .I am glad Israel was created to give a safe haven to Jewish people after two thousand years of diaspora and senseless abuse in other countries
I use to celebrate Chanukkah and Passover etc in the early 2000s since I am part Jewish . I stopped doing that due to the US’s senseless warmongering and imperialism in the Middle East
I have no issues with Donald Trump being philosemetic.
I between condone and somewhat tolerate Zionism
I am an Anti Na.zi . As a Left Libertarian (in a average tankiejerk redditer way), them, their views and their values were/are as opposite as you can get from me , my views and my values
I dislike Anti Zionism, especially the BDS SJW type
I favor a 2 state solution but a more pro Israel one. However the best solution for both sides would be a no state solution where Israelis and Palestinians live in a stateless society
I have no issues with Amos Oz demonizing Israel and Israelis. I love that people have diverse healthy views on the conflict, even views (like their views), which I don’t agree with and I think does more harm than good.
I believe that Benjamin Netanayahu was too tough on Palestine and the Palestinians at times. Moreover it doesn’t feel right that Israel sets up shop so to speak in Palestinian territory by occupying it. I don’t know what path forward the Israelis and Palestinians can take to deal with that in a constructive manner
I would have opposed H. Res. 951 (if I was following politics back then) like Ron Paul opposed it. I also echo everything that Paul said in his statement in this article . I retroactively oppose H.Res 951 because I am Libertarian and an American First person https://web.archive.org/web/20080309160013/http://pressmediawire.com/article.cfm?articleID=18214
I am fine with the US not funding Israel’s iron dome for Libertarian and AmericanFirst reasons. Luckily God will protect Israel from over zealous Palestinians.
I am against the US helping Israel as much as they do. That causes a lot of anti American hostility in the Middle East and takes resources away from helping American citizens in the US.The US should focus on the US. Israel rightfully already has the help of Americans United For Israel , they don’t need the US Government’s Israel saviorism
Since 2003 I've been known to temporarily oscillate every now and then to being the same exact way toward the Palestinians demands that the LAPD and Feds in Die Hard 1 were toward Hans Gruber’s demands (like being ‘open’ to their needs and wants) But each time I do I see things which have me go right back to being as Pro Israel as I always am on that issue
I support the US embassy being in Jerusalem
I would have been against the German Bolsheviks in th German Revolution
China-Russia
My views on China generally reflect the tankiejerk subreddit users’ views on China
China is wrong for not respecting the LGBTQ community to the my ideal content and they aren’t making enough progress for me
The transgender community in China unfortunately doesn’t have a lot of rights, like the right to marry
I can’t stand CCP loyalists who find no fault in them
I am against China executing people ,especially for white collar crimes
China is wrong for their human rights violations against the Uyghurs (calling it a non Genocide does not downplay the horrors they committed to those people but it was a Genocide I guess) They should have instead sought advice from Left Wing Gitmo workers in the US to see what they should have done (which hopefully would have convinced China to treat the Uyghurs like our woke 2010s-present military would have, ie in a way that didn’t violate their human rights and in other relatively humane ways)
I am against China using forced labor. I want China to be slightly more fair to their laborers who do jobs that forced laborers currently do than Google is 'fair' to their workers, according to this article (but paying those formerly unpaid laborers who I want paid and incentivized using counter economics along with bitcoin, crypto and blockchain payments, the latter being the most common form of payment for them)
I am indifferent to the China-Hong Kong dispute
I am apolitical on the China-Taiwan dispute
I was against the Nuclear Freeze in the 1980s and early 1990s only because I knew that the US having Nuclear weapons was to prevent the Soviet Union from using their Nuclear weapons. To this day I am still against a Nuclear Freeze due to countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea having Nuclear weapons. I want a world free of Nuclear Weapons but I will not support a Nuclear Freeze until countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea also agree to give up their Nuclear Weapons too. No one wants a Nuclear war.
I retroactively support the Black army and the Anarchists from the old USSR
I am against the US getting involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It is none of our business. Let’s focus on the US and not other countries dirty laundry. I am against the US sanctioning Russia
The US and Europe should try to de escalate the Russia-Ukraine crisis instead of inflaming it
I am glad that that Libertarian Reddit moderator wants the US to go to war with Russia since I love fellow Libertarians having diverse viewpoints even thoughI disagree with them (as I do in this case)
I am against a No Fly Zone with Russia
I have no issues with Ukraine joining the EU as long as it is not because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
North Ossetia belongs to Russia
I militantly apolitical on whether South Ossetia belong s to Russia
I only support other countries privately sanctioning Russia
My views on the Russia-Ukraine conflict align with Tucker Carlson’s views on that conflict. If that makes people think I support Russia, so be it.
I oscillate between being Radically Centrist on whether the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk should become (and be recognized as) as part of Russia, me toying with the idea of wanting the People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk to have the same position with Russia and Ukraine that it had with them from 1918-1922 and me wanting the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to be as part of Ukraine but with Russian influence etc as South Ossetia is part of Georgia but with Russian influence etc but at the same time me wanting the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to join the Commonwealth of Independent Nations which already has Russia and Belarus as members
Whatever happens, I want NATO to be less anti Russian, and help form connections between Russia and Ukraine
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
Islam
Islam is not a bad religion, it's not Judeo Christianity but it shares a link to Judeo Christianity (Abraham). If Muslims stay true to Islam, maybe they will go to heaven the same way that the Native Americans who lived moral lives and died before Christopher Columbus came to the Americas went to heaven. But only God knows
Islam has good and bad like any other religion. Not all criticism of Islam is Islamaphobic and some criticism of Islam is genuine and constructive. Some sects of Islam do treat women and LGBTQ people very badly and that is obviously 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
This article echos my feelings about the Clock boy incident from 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20190205021737/https://dailycaller.com/2015/09/28/on-ahmeds-clock-president-obama-once-again-spoke-too-soon/
I am against Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban
I am neutral to Christian Democratic on the Ground Zero mosque being built
I am against France and other countries banning Muslims women from wearing Burkinis and Burqas. I support Muslim women wearing Burkinis and Burqas. I am also against Iran forcing Muslim women to wear Burqas. Freedom of expression means freedom for Muslim women to wear or not wear what they want. First they came for the Muslims ..then they will come for us Christians and ban us from wearing Christian symbols in public.
I don't believe the October 31 2018 truck attack in NYC or the Swedish truck attack in 2017 were Islamic terrorism. I am not even that sure that the 2016 Nice lorre attacks was Islamic terrorism (or at least I am not that sure if Islamic terrorism was the primary motive of the attacks). Saying that every time a Muslim commits mass murder is Islamic terrorism is bigoted, ignorant, naive and offensive. However, on the flip side, a few attacks by Muslims that are not labele as Islamic terrorismare technically Islamic terrorism (the Fort Hood shooting for example). But there are pretty much more times Muslims committing crimes are falsely accused of Islamic terrorism than there are times when Muslims do commit Islamic terrorism and said attacks are not labeled as Islamic terrorism.
I am tempted to say that there are more atheists in Al Qaeda, ISIS, Abu Nidal, Hezbollah than there are Muslims. If they were true Muslims, they would be peaceful since Islam is a religion of peace. Al Qaeda and ISIS are terrorists not militants
Middle East , Oceania and Asia
I support Australian Constitutional Monarchy
I fully support Donald Trump withdrawing the US from Syria in 2019 and I applaud him for it
I was and still am against the Libya War (the one under Barack Obama)
I am sadly against the Iran nuclear deal. Iran is too unpredictable . But I do think peace is possible with the right deal
I was and still am against the Iraq War (I was for it until late March 2003 then I became permanently against it). If the US warmongers instead found a way to go send people over to Iraq to do what they wanted in a way that Ron Paul and other Libertarians would approve of ,I would have supported whatever that would have been,then, now and for the rest if my life. But I respect pro Iraq War povs
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.
The Gulf War was a justifiable but poorly planned and implemented war (which doesn't mean I support it)
I supported the Afghanistan War but I regret that I did. We should have never have went there. Instead we should have took out OBL like Chuck Norris’s character did in that movie
I am against the Vietnam War but seeing all the far left anti wars sentiment makes me regret doing so at times (even with me defending going to war with Vietnam rarely). The Vietcong were equally as bad as the USA in the Vietnam War
I sort of sympathize with imperialist Japan
Africa
Liberia was abused by American settler colonialism and that is wrong. The free slaves from the US did nasty things to the native tribes in Liberia and then became elites
Europe
I support the Conservative Revolution (Germany 1920s)
Americas
I believe Right Wing domestic terrorists (like the type that John Brennan abd GWB warned about in the last dew years) should voluntarily depart the US and move to another country ,and only be allowed back if they prove they are reformed
I enjoy the political messages (ie morals of the story) of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn https://blog.bookstellyouwhy.com/the-politics-of-mark-twain
I don’t condemn Gavin McInnes for his anti war (states right view) views on the Civil War . As someone who is anti war, I would look like a hypocrite for criticizing his anti war Civil War views
I admire and have 1990s anti hero respect for the Union Army and Union. In particular Winfield Scott, the Eastern Tennessee Union fighters, the balloon force, the 1848ers, Anthony Cornstock, AbrahamLincoln and similar non coventional cogs of the Union Army and Union
I like people being open and honest in politics (like how William Sherman gave his prophetic speech to Professor David Boyd warning Boyd about how foolish secession was and how war is hell (war really is hell) (Sherman Fighting Prophet page 138)
I symbolically support the US in their war against Mexico in the 1840s. Though it was a bit of a land grab.
Xtian
Christian values are what makes the west great
I try to reform to pragmatically tolerate the Christian Right and their views
I believe Stonetoss needs to become like Christians United for Israel on Israel and Jews(but in his/her own unique way) instead of having views expressed in this comic (ie the Stonetoss one about Judeo Christian and Jesus being crucified): https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/styles/content_full_width_img_lg/public/2021-12/Gab-CEO-800-02.png?itok=dM9o344v
Imagine Christianity if it never was Anti Lgbtq?
I side with Coach Kennedy https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/04/24/supreme-court-hears-coach-who-lost-job-praying-field-joseph-kennedy-bremerton-high-football/7352464001/?gnt-cfr=1. I believe people should be able to openly show their faith on the job like he did as Coach of his team
I believe the US should adopt Deism as its official religion
I am against the Satanic Temple being allowed to hold events in public places. Any religion which worships Satan or pretends to worship Satan should be banned.
Scice
I support facts and logic
Eco
I am pro environment but I am against the far left fringe of the environmental movement and minor things (non deal breakers) within the left wing of the movement
I promote preservation of our environment and natural resources along with conservation, but not at the expense of the eco system or individual rights
I support a “modern day Noah’s Ark’ like what Bill Bradley wanted to do here
I support environmental well being but I like the state to not get involved in the environment, as long as robust legal protections for bodies and justly acquired possessions are in place (that state action isn’t required to protect non human living beings from abuse). State action sadly often causes environmental ills , injures non human living beings and protects polluters
I am fine with Malcolm Turnbull’s National Energy Guarantee
Climate
On climate change I am closer to supporting Productivism than to being a Climate Change apocalype person
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
I believe in Climate Change 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.
We should follow the bible and be stewards for Earth ,reguardless if there is Climate Change or no Climate Change
I generally look favorably on the climate change views of the 25 to 33 percent of mainstream scientists who say man made climate change is real but downplay more elements of man made climate change/climate change than the rest of (66 to 75 percent of) mainstream scientists
"Since we only have a few months left We Got to Start Eating Babies" /s
In some very realistic alternate realities, alternate reality mainstream scientists are divided on whether Climate Change on alternate reality Earth is real (in 2010s, 2020s etc)
I morally (as in moral victory) support the way Scott Morrison dealt with climate change as PM of Australia
China has a poor environmental record and they should be nudged to fight climate change at least as much as Michael Bennet would do if he was President
Pan
I am apolitical to mixed on pandemic politics but to on the record:
I am between pitiful and pretty sympathetic to the Mises Institute’s views on the pandemic (and some of them are LOL)
I fully support Mike Braun's amendment to the Prevent Pandemics Act.
I am mixed to pragmatically neutral on Bill Maher's late Oct 2021 view on natural immunity
I support the Trump vaxx and I believe people should get the Trump vaxx to show their love of Donald Trump and appreciation for his work. Donald Trump saved this country by helping create the Trump vaxx
I do appreciate Ron Johnson's pandemic hearing early in the year on the pandemic to give another point of view.
I condone (but don't necessarily agree with) Gene Simmons saying that non vaxxed are the enemy
I have no issues with Adam Kinzinger’s anti China comments in 2020 (in relation to the pandemic)
What Justin Trudeau did to the truckers in Canada was fascism and crimes against humanity. Trudeau’s actions against those truckers was as bad as Democrats and liberals think that the January 6 2021 thing was
Etc
I believe in something between the Gap theory and Intelligent Design explains how we got here
I believe in Reincarnation and the afterlife
Humans are way better and superior to all AI past present and future. All AI past present and future were, are and will be property to humans. If humans punch or kill an AI robot or computer , they should get no penalty for doing so
I celebrate Labor Day to honor all of the American workers who built our nation from the 18th century through today
I am fine with red light cameras being removed. The less government spying, the better.
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).
