My politics
I am a Moderate Independent ,Dealigned Centrist/Democratic Centrist and Social Democrat
I don't care about the success or failure of any political party. I support the socioeconomic democracy that the United States has managed since FDR and that was noticeably growing stronger in the early 2000s and is still growing stronger today
I am a non denominational Christian/Baháʼí
Fiscal
I am a Social Democrat (including Democratic Revolution Social Democracy, Broad Front Social Democracy and Chile’s Nordic Model Social Democracy), Anarcho Libertarian (including Anarcho Super Capitalist)
I support the Labour Party UK (New Labour/Third Way/Friends of Israel/Third Way Social Democracy/current Conservative Party UK type Red Wallism)
I support the Progressive Utilization theory (including economic zones within that system to be created within the US based on Reaganomics, Abenomics, the Nordic Model and less flexible Third Way economics)
I generally and conditionally support market based economies which can be seen throughout this blog
I reject the status quo and radical centrism of free-market economics. I also in rarer times support a large section of the economy being nationalized.
I economically value realism, entrepreneurship, managerial skills, work discipline, reconstruction, individual self-reliance, stability, expertise , disdain of economic science, competence, modern tech, gradualism and this can be seen throughout this blog.
I feel that free enterprise (my brand as can be seen throughout this blog) turns the wheels of the economy. Prosperity produces social justice for all, including the poor. Sometimes we have to endure sluggish growth
I want our country to model itself after the Progressive Utilization theory
Progressive Utilization theory is similar to direct and participatory democracies, which I also support as can be seen here
It overcomes the limitations of capitalism, communism and mixed economy. Compromise, slight necessary policy reforms and Anti Economic Extremism would be its core tenants
It is an economically progressive approach, which would aim to improve social development in the world that is in line with Sarkar's Neohumanist values which would provide "proper care" to every being on the planet, including humans, animals and plants
In this Progressive Utilization theory society there would be a socioeconomic system that would be an advancement on capitalism and communism.
Under this system resources would be collective property from which usufructuary rights would be carved out for individuals or groups of individuals to use
Distribution of goods in this system’s market would be rational and equitable in order to allocate good maximization of the physical, mental, and spiritual development of all people.
There would always be a baseline distribution that would intend to guarantee medical care , food ,some type of clothing (except tennis shoes/sneakers/trainers), shelter, education.
It would be a three-tiered approach to industrial organization.
Key industries and public utilities would be operated as no profits (no loss basis as these are resources held on trust for the public).
Decentralized industry that would be run by cooperatives which would provide people's minimum necessities etc
Most of the economic transactions in this system would be through producers' and consumers' cooperatives.
There would be Incentives for people serving society which would be funded through surpluses.
A small business sect would also operate to provide goods and services on a more individualized basis.
Politically this system would discourage nationalism, though nation-states would form a world gov in the form of a confederation.
In this system, there would be a world constitution and a bill of rights for humans and for ensuring the biological diversity and security of animals and plants fix steward.
Locally governed self-sufficient socioeconomic units or zones would support a decentralized economy.
This system would take into account the law of social cycle. It would see the social order as consisting of four classes of people which cyclically dominate society: workers, warriors), intellectual and acquisitors
However, there would be no abolition of these four classes, as this system would see them not just as a a power configuration, but also as a way of knowing the world, as a paradigm, episteme or deep structure if It would consider that any person could be worker, warrior, intellectual or acquisitive minded.
Sadvipras would be organized into executive, legislative, and judicial boards in this system and they would be governed by a Supreme Board.
They would be responsible for the order of dominance within the social order.
This system would align with the Neohumanism philosophy. Thatvphilosophy is a reinterpretation of humanism that calls for integrating the unity of life idea. In it all living beings belong to a universal family that deserve equal care and respect
The five fundamental principles of this system would be : There should be no accumulation of wealth without society’s permission. There would be maximum utilization and rational distribution of the crude, subtle, and causal resources. There would be maximum utilization of individual and collective beings’ physical, mental, and spiritual potentialities. There would be a well balanced adjustment among the crude, subtle, and causal utilizations. Utilizations (which would be progressive) would vary in accordance with time, space, and form.
The values , economic structure and goals of this system would differ from the values, economic structure and goals of capitalism and communism (since they have anti humanistic elements) due to them encouraging people to relentlessly pursue material attainment, like name, fame, their shaky foundations, etc
One specific problem in Neoliberal and Capitalism’s case, is generally the centralization of economic power in the hands of the rich leads to the exploitation of the masses which further leads to the degeneration of society.
One specific problem in Communism (like Marxism Leninism) is that the sovietic central planning committees have too much economic decision and cohersion power in the federation
This system would have aspects of market planning to help to create and sustain a healthy economy.
Planning would allow the market to protect its stakeholders from neoliberal economics since in neoliberal economics , profit motive speaks loudest
A planning (or central planning) committee at a national level would only outline the economic development’s broader aspects which would the cause its details to be resolved by local level planning bodies where problems are best understood and dealt with more easily (see diseconomies of scale). 60 percent of this planning committee would be made up of the national government, 10 to 20 percent of this this committee would be made up five semi-national governmental non oil foundations (they would not be accountable to anyone except the main leader)
At the National level, the public sector and government workforce would be very large.
This system’s type of top-down planning would leave communities, enterprises and workers with a important level of freedom to decide their own economic future (see decentralized planning)
This system would stress that the nationalization of enterprises is not efficient due to the higher costs and the amount of bureaucracy that is necessary to keep state-controlled industries running.
Yet, in this system some industries would be nationalized operating on the principle of "no-profit, no-loss".
As fot wealth distribution among the population in this system, there would "optimal inequality" where the wage gap between the richer strata of society would be substantially subsided.
Richard Freeman, (Harvard economist), wrote that income inequality comes from power monopoly and other activities that have "negative consequences" in terms of social development.
This system would not have total income equality, because in a society where material motivation to work is not present, the motivation to strive for financial success and to thrive in industry’s and society’s creative development would be lost in its citizens.
Therefore, in this system, there would be an implementation of a policy that would allow the most meritous in society to receive added perks for the added benefits that they bring to society.
This is because it is theorized that the communist's motto of from “each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” can’t work in the real world.
This system would instead a set a minimum and maximum wage, that would roughly br attributed according to the work value that each person brings to society.
We see modern examples of attempts in this direction with companies like Mondragon or Whole Foods.
Regarding neo-liberalism, This system would throw a new light to Adam Smith's invisible hand concept, where individual producers act on the self-interest benefit of the community as a whole.
Unchecked, the economic elite of societies will disrupt the just circulation of material wealth within society. The market will then need regulatory measures in order to create a functional economic system.
In this system, it would not be enough to free our society from exploitation and extreme income inequality. So in this system, it would be an economic democracy where the decision making power for the community’s economic future would be given to its inhabitants.
Economic democracy would be reinvented by setting four requirements for it. The first requirement would be for guaranteeing the minimum requirements of life to all people in society. The second requirement, would be for an increasing purchasing capacity for each individual, since in this system local people would have to hold economic power over their socio economic region.
Unlike in capitalism, where the production and distribution of goods are mostly decided by market competition, in this system it would be based on necessity. The third requirement of this system’s economic democracy would be the decentralization of power, which would give the freedom to make economic decisions to its stakeholders. This would be accomplished by adopting a worker-owned cooperative system and also by using local resources (raw materials and other natural resources) for region development and not just for export
This would be a decentralized economy where self-sufficient economic zones would be created and organized according to a set of conditions that would be predetermined (like socio-economic units).
I would want a Reaganomics (including law and economics) economic zone , an Abenomics economic zone, a Nordic Model economic zone and a less flexible Third Way economic zone within the US in this Progressive Utilization theory system
The Reaganomics economic zone would be positively influenced by surrounding and other economic zones to fix Reaganomics‘ market and or voodoo-trickle down economics issues (like the less flexible Third Way economic zone and the possibly an economic zone based on the direct economic views of Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar)
The Abenomics economic zone would employ Abenomics . Abenomics is related to the rise of China as an economic and political power and it seeks to enrich the places that employ it, and strengthen the army of such places. It isn’t reliant on superpowers to help them
This Abenomics economic zone would be based on three arrows: monetary easing from government banks (and or federal reserve) or Big Bank, fiscal stimulus through government spending and and structural reforms. It would be characterized by a mix of reflation, government spending and a growth strategy that would be designed to jolt the economy out of suspended animation that has gripped it at times over the decades
In this Abenomics economic zone it would consist of a monetary and fiscal policy and economic growth strategies in order to encourage private investment.
Certain policies would include inflation targeting at an annual rate of two percent, correcting the excessive dollar appreciation, negatively setting interest rates, radical quantitative easing, expanding public investment, purchasing operations of federal reserve related construction bonds and revising Fiscal spending plans. There would be a pro TPP element too
The less flexible Third Way economic zone would have an economic system that uses Third Way economic policies that are less flexible than mainstream Third Way economic policies and governments
Meaning this in this less flexible Third Way economic zone would less flexibly believe in a theory of "social-ism" than mainstream Third Way economics believe in and less flexibly try to pursue the goals of equality and social justice in a framework of a Neoliberal society than mainstream Third Way governments and policies did/do
In this less flexible Third Way economic zone , it would less flexibly fuse traditional social democratic goals with an acceptance of Globalism (more like National Globalism i.e Multipolarism) and free markets than mainstream Third Way economics/governments fuse them together
In this less flexible Third Way economic zone, like with mainstream Third Way economics/governments, it would be built more on a more modern theoretical basis than Social Liberalism and Radical Centrism are, but less flexibly than mainstream Third Way economics/governments did/do
Moreover, in this less flexible Third Way economic zone, it would less flexibly employ a "social capitalist" economy with free-markets and less economic intervention than Third Way economics/governments did/do . In this less flexible Third Way economic zone, it would less flexibly supports welfare reform and workfare while less flexibly pursuing other neoliberal policies like deregulation and privatization
The Nordic Model economy zone would have a market led model that fuses together market capitalism with a large welfare state and a neo-corporatist bargaining system . It would try to implement universal public healthcare, public pensions, and public institutions of higher education, and much, much more but there would need to be a debate over the degree of these reforms, the speed of their implementation, and how to pay for them.
In this Nordic Model economy zone , the state would have ownership stakes in many of the country's largest publicly listed companies, owning 37 percent of the Nordic Model economy zone, zone confederation or country’s stock market and it would operate the country's largest non-listed companies,
This would mean the state would control business through shares instead of through regulation
The government in this Nordic Model economy zone would operate a sovereign wealth fund, whose partial objective would be to prepare the Nordic Model economy zone or US as a whole for a post-oil future while also majorly and powerfully advocating for human rights. While it would be moderate, it would also have a progressive tilt to its early agenda. Younger generations would get richer in this system
I also like the Nordic model because it is in part based on Lutheranism
This requirement would not express xenophobic feelings, it would solely be the realization that there shouldn’t be a constant outflow of local capital, where the natural resources are explored by foreign investment companies which extract assets and money out of the community
From a Neohumanist perspective of this system, all people would be free to choose where they wish to live, as long as they merge their economic interests with the economic interests of the local people.
In this system, there would be asocio-economic unit, called Samaj in Sanskrit; a collective materialization effort that would be used to create a strong and resilient local community, which would be built on strong feelings of solidarity and self-identity.
To build a working and cohesive socio-economic unit in this system, in a way that would be similar to bioregions, their purpose would be to facilitate cooperative development, that would move towards a decentralized economy. Once that happens, these units would be economically independent and self-reliant.
Though they still would be guided by national and federal guidelines and laws, they would prepare its own economic plan.
This would be to aim to achieve local resource maximum efficiency utilization, they would make trade across borders more balanced and mutually beneficial
Since a progressive society can’t solely be measured by the nation’s GDP level of wealth, there could be benefits of material progress, but this system would deem them as insufficient indicators of the development of human society.
This system would rely on the view that even though progress as it is interpreted by modern society has its benefits, there are negative unchecked side effects that bring more harm than good.
Like cars and airplanes enable people travel at increasing speeds, bringing great ease to travelers and commuters, they also bring air and noise pollution, traffic congestion, accidents, alienation from nature, etc.
This system would transcend material and technological development. It would move along lines of the triple bottom line which analyzes the ouput in the social, environmental and financial sphere of a given enterprise,
This measure of progress would encompasses the qualities of a "fourth bottom line" that would be characterized by the incorporation of a transcendental dimension of human life which is focused on the integrated body, mind and spirit development
This fourth bottom line in this system, would allow society and individuals in general and in particular respectively to develop an larger identity sense which would allow for a neohumanist will of inclusion, that would create a society in which material gains wouldn’t be the summum bonum of life and would permit space to be made for people to work symbiotically together in a movement which primes for the welfare of the individual and collective through social, cultural, and also the tech development.
I supported the Tea Party years back and would do so today if they came back (I still support the Tea Party)
I support a Liz Warren amended version of Rick Scott's 11 point plan
I support the Gold Standard and want the US to bring it back. The Gold standard might prevent financial repression in some cases.
I support and encourage people to use bonds and to save their money in savings accounts. If war bonds come back, I would also support people using war bonds.
I support people having off shore bank accounts
The government should not increase the tax of people who profit from the sale of stocks ,bonds or real estate.
I'm against President Biden's IRS bank snooping plan and his plan to unprivatize banks
I support the Buffet rule
Antis
I am against the Great Reset
I am against Neoliberalism
I am against people having a sense of entitlement
One word Communism/Communism without a moneyless , stateless society is evil, wrong and impractical. I am against that type one word Communism/Communism.
Biz and labor
I support mass socialist parties (like Social Democrat parties) and I want them to be dominated by oligarchic leaderships that help those workers but away from those workers’ job sites
I feel to help mass socialist parties and their workers, we need those oligarchic leaders to have control over the party press, party finances, and conference agendas of those mass socialist parties as to reproduce itself.
I want a more socialistic society (ideally Leninist) to lead to the eventual abolishment of the state, hierarchy and patriarchy ,and this (or Democratic Centralism as a whole) may be the only way to realistically move us toward that socialistic direction since the Progressive Utilization theory might be too unrealistic at least for now (or even a pipe dream).
I support the OSHA enforcing workers rights to a hazard free workplace to create a productive working environment
I more than believe that its better for corporations to voluntarily reform themselves than for them to be forced to do so.
I got an anti consumer streak in me but I usually override that to want consumers to be protected via sanctions by nation consumer services (which would also reduce and then phase out our consumer culture since consumerism is brainwashing and evil, see below)
I support unions being able to negioate collectively (maybe via organizing unions operating in parallel with groups of businesses in way similar to corporatism. Workers in this system would get a greater share of their company profits via negotiation between each union and the business group which corresponds with each of them. Above this system would be a very involved collectivist-paternalistic State.)
Most small businesses are NOT tax cheats and Justin Trudeau was wrong to lie and say that
sociofiscal views
I use to be not enthused about social safety nets, now I am ok with very specific ones
I support the government expropriating agribusinesses, large factories, and luxury homes that belong to former elites who aren’t elite anymore but I would never challenge the concept of private property
While I am personally never enthused on government intervention in the economy, I also support populist measures like massive government intervention in the economy to ensure free water, electricity and government provided homes for the poor
I am ok with the Be HEARD Act since workplace harassment not only negatively effects the victim of the harassment, but is bad to working class people who aren’t victims of harassment as any discrimination practices between demographic sections of the working class cause a very divisive practice hurting the development of working class consciousness , creating barriers to class unity to take away attention from class exploitation which bolsters the rich
I conditionally support the the Child Care for Working Families Act, since it frees parents to spending more time to work. I support this as long as it doesn’t negatively effect the child’s upbringing
Raising the Minimum wage has drawbacks because it would force full time workers into part time jobs and hurt their access to health care benefits. Heavy care should be used in raising it
I support the Welfare state (Nanny state) that is funded by taxes that use a taxation model based on all of my socioeconomic views in this blog combined (but my view that moderate means-tested welfare targeted at the poor to ensure people can meet basic human needs being given the majority of the weight)
This is because its natural to have ‘Nannys’ help down and out people since that is what real Nannys do, just pretend that all people on Welfare are being aided by ‘Nannys’, no one bats a lash shen real Nannys aide children and teens, why should this be different?)
This should help transition us to an upgraded welfare state that is a fusion of system AB+ with System BC=
System AB+. welfare targeted at the poor to ensure people can meet basic human system with semi private charities (specific variant of Socialism’s pro private property allowance) set up to help struggling Americans not unlike the pre Welfare state type of private charity systems). These charities would rely on private donations from Americans to help other Americans (Americans would be incentivized to do so). In particular through this welfare, it would provide food, shelter and utilities for people in times of need (like winter, or hot summers). This type of system would inspire people to be self sufficient or to work for the good of the community (but still have emergency nets if they couldn't) basically to encourage people to be economically self sufficient.
with System BC= A universal welfare system where the government indirectly (as in six degrees of separation indirectly) does what they normally do with universal welfare including providing universal childcare, care for the elderly, education, healthcare and workers' comp but also includes mutualistic Distributism (sort of like this). fused with Christian Communism
Instead of subsiding private services or giving to the needy we should ‘give to everyone’ (i.e make sure that provisions are available for everyone). This way there are less needy people to give too since this can prevent people from being needy in the first place.
I believe in ‘redistributing wealth’ via mutualismistic taxes to make capitalism more humane
I am against consumerism . Consumerism fuels inequality and unequal social structures that create unequal hierarchies. Consumerism is bad because people consume to increase their social position and to keep up with others. There is no good reason people should continuously buy new and new material possessions. It is against God to do so. God gives us what we need, not more and more garbage.
Corporations and the government push consumerism to make a buck at the expense of public welfare (due to things like social stratification, governing ethics etc). I also feel consumerism is bad because it is part of globalization in that corporations try to destroy other countries with their consumerism as they've done in the West. Consumers are treated like guinea pigs that corporations try new and new tricks on to get them to obedient to their demands and that is wrong
Consumerism dehumanizes people and causes people to live immorally. Consumerism is shallow, hollow and makes people think they need things that they DON'T NEED. It also causes pollution and hurts the environment etc. Consumerism is basically corporations making us their slaves and that needs to end
People are compelled to use brand names since their identities are tied to brand names to compensate for other misgivings. It is morally imperative that the state be a guarantor of rights and not consumer goods. The government should get out of the consumerism business and stop brainwashing people here and via senseless imperialism to be consumer culture warriors.
I feel Obamacare with a public option is better in the present and near future than Universal Healthcare , Single payer healthcare and Medicare for All . I do think single payer healthcare and expanded medicare to all should be done in the future when it is viable and practical (and also as a safety net)
Personally I am mixed to abstain on the public option for healthcare
Legality wise, I am mixed to non hostile on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare), as long as it has modest adjustments and provisions to the legislation if they can be done on a bipartisan basis. Otherwise we can do better than Obamacare
I am fine with a common sense, bipartisan, expansion of Medicare as long as it has unorganized (as in unorganized sector of India unorganized) elements to it
I favor cuts to entitlement programs like SSI, and means testing and raising the retirement age
This student leader’s views on education are eerily similar to my views on education . If Third Way economics would be applied to his educational views and reform ideas I would want less flexible Third Way economics to be applied to his educational views and reform ideas instead of mainstream Third Way economics being applied to them
I want to reform whatever new forms of Meritocracy forms in a Post Meritocracy world. The problem with Meritocracy is that Meritocracy is an illusion that thrives the economy but only fulfills the dreams of a few
I support a new socioeconomic model based on different homo economicus but without our constitutional handcuffs. This would create uncertainties for the 1 percenters (i.e the elites) who are stake-holding our assets and resources
The 1 percenters (i.e the elites) are living the uncertainty that the 99 percenters (i.e non elites) have to face every day since the elite the 1 percenters wrongly hoard their vast fortunes
We need to fix this via a process instead of through government lip services or bandaids
My views on a Universal Basic Income are based on two or more of the above fiscal views I wrote above
My views on Build Back Better are based on two or more of the above fiscal views I wrote above
I want Amazon and Big Tech to be broken up. We have to stop their monopolies. There is no reason so many people should wear the same brand of clothes, or be a member of the same social media site. Movie character Arthur Jensen's speech in his movie about how corporations are the real nations of the world today seems frighteningly prophetic after decades of increasing globalism and corporate 'synergy'.
Values
I want Left Wing and (by Chile standards) policies to be implemented by Social Democrats and their parties in the the US, Europe etc
While I value social welfare over economic growth , I feel that economic growth and social cohesion need not be mutually exclusive
I support making ends meet fiscal policies and this can be seen throughout this blog
I am a fan of Survivalism and I believe that its a good concept to live by
I support Individualism
I respect the sanctity of private property and property rights
Social issues
LGBTQ+
Personally, I am in between being begrudingly against gay marriage and me being in between apolitical and mixed on gay marriage
Systematically, I oscillate between being in between indifferent and live and let live on gay marriage and oscillating to me being lean moral (as in moral victory) support for gay marriage being legal but only if gay marriage is called gay marriage or same sex marriage and straight/heterosexual marriage is called marriage (to show they are different This is only because straight/heterosexual marriage has been around for 6000 years and got a head start. Maybe in a few centuries we can call all marriages, whether gay/same sex or straight/heterosexual 'marriage' but not until) otherwise I want Civil Marriage, Religious Marriage and Common Law marriages to be abolished and this nationalized form of privatized marriage to be legalized and become the only form of legal marriage for both straight couples and gay couples :
Legality wise I am just for marriage in general (including gay marriage) and people (of all sexual orientations, i.e straight couples and gay couples) making that lifelong commitment to each other. I'm not against gay marriage (legality wise only) and I am relatively conservative. Dear, G-d , please forgive me for this view, my motive for this is : 1 Corinthians 9:22
If nearly all to all gays aren't born gay and become gay by choice, then legality wise I would only support traditional marriage (instead of legality wise supporting gay marriage as I do now)
But in that hypothetical world where gays aren’t born gay and became gay by choice, I wouldn’t fight against gay marriage because it is time to move on and I would be ok with people having a different view pro gay marriage) on that issue.
Moreover in that hypothetical world where gays aren’t born gay and became gay by choice, I would legality wise force myself to support something between Civil Unions and Ancient Rome type of gay marriage being legal for gay couples because I am an Anarcho Libertarian and Anarcho Libertarians are all about small government and keeping the government out of peoples lives
I want regular privatized not the nationalized form above, at some point in the future, ideally sooner rather than later, become the only legal form of marriage for both straight couples and gay couples (this means I want the US to abolish Civil Marriage, Religious Marriage and Common Law Marriage and legalize Privatized Marriage for both straight and gay couples regardless if gays are born gay or become gay by choice). If that ever becomes the case, I would support gay marriage being legal (couples regardless if gays are born gay or become gay by choice). The government should stay out of the marriage business.
I always pray for God to at least try to make gays straight (if its God's will to do so) since I believe they are happier straight than gay.
Personally, I oscillate between being between supporting individual persons, whether heterosexual/homosexual/lesbian who are cohabiting/single to be able to adopt children. Ideally, in conjunction with a country wide layout of It Takes a Village type systems for children of parents of all sexual orientations, as mentioned here and by Hillary Clinton and apolitical to lean pragmatically Christian democratic on gay adoption and me being between ambiguous and Third Way on gay adoption
Legality wise , I am neutral lean this politician’s view on this issue whether I believe that same sex couples should have parental presumption in terms of adoption.
Legality wise I am neutral on whether there should be laws which fight discrimination against gay couples or gay parents in gay adoption
Legality wise I
Personally and legality wise, I support gay people being able to be legal guardians of children.
I
I have no issues with people being against gay marriage or not supporting people being gay (as long as they don't hate gay people)
I believe that Rick Perry's early 2010s anti gay laws are wrong. I can't think of any amendment which could make those anti gay laws more liberal and less anti gay.
I respect the 2015 Supreme court gay marriage decision since a gay person himself (Obergfell), legalized gay marriage via his court case as opposed to it being done via cancel culture, negative petitions where most signers are non gay, gay saviorism etc.
I am against gay criminalization laws. We live in a 21st century world, not biblical Israel.
In 1994, I supported S.AMDT.2434
In the 1990s until the mid 2000s, I was Radically Centrist on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell til I was syncretically dealigned on it
When I was a Democrat Liberal in the 2000s decade, I scored an 88 by the HRC
In 2003 after Massachusetts gay marriage ruling, I was opposed to gay marriage but supported leaving the decisions to the states
If there were 5 or more biological sexes of people on Earth instead of just 2 biological sexes, in that hypothetical world I would strongly encourage gays to be at least bisexual since there would be at least 4 opposite biological sexes of people to choose from for them to be in a romantic relationship with. In that world, I would privately say being gay is wrong and publically say that being gay is not ideal
In the subconsciousness of my deep down insideness (not in my regular subconscious), I somewhat strongly feel that gays are more happier, emotionally healthier and freeer straight than gay and that ideally they should at least be sympathetically nudged in that direction.
I morally (morally as in moral victory) support my former Christian church's ministry that helps gays. This is their mission statement:
My former Christian church's ministry compassionately walks side by side with any person whose life has been effected by same sex attraction and homosexuality. My former church's group has its members share their stories of their victories over sexual sin. This group uses biblical based wisdom and truth to show God's marriage and sexuality plan. They promote freedom that happens when people surrender their lives to Christ. They bridge the gay community and church, while offering hope rather than condemnation. To disengage from the cultural wars over gay rights to instead focus on reaching people in the gay community one person at a time.
I am against Lesbian Erasure. It is wrong for people to try to get Lesbians to transition to males or to become fluid and they should not be encouraged to do so. It's only fair that Lesbians get more visibility within the LGBTQ movement (ie as much visibility as Homosexuals). If you support gay rights you have to also support women being Lesbians and being equal to Homosexuals
I am against Heterophobia. There is nothing oppressive or wrong about Heterosexuality.
I
I am support in the same exact way that Elizabeth Warren supports LGBTQ marriage and rights but in a dealigned way the Gay shame movement and destroying our heterosexist hierarchal society (including marriage ie the abolishment of state sanctioned coupling for people of all sexual orientations ie straight and gay) to form a post sexual orientation world where people would literally be sexual orientation blind). But if this becomes a mainstream view or even a mainstream Democrat view, I will force myself to be alt Radically Center right on the Gay shame movement and Heterosexism
I have no real issues with the view that kids should not learn about LGBTQ+ things in school (to put it midly). At best, kids should wait to learn LGBTQ things until they are late into their teens and are curious, and thus mature enough to learn about it (since kids don't have mature brains until later). Teaching kids about LGBTQ things is indoctinaration. Let kids be kids
I am against kids in preschool and k-4 school being taught these type of things. I plead the fifth on whether I believe kids in 5-12 should be taught those type of things. That type of teaching has no place in preschool and elementary schools
I
I support and am a member of the Super straight movement
I feel we shouldn't debate about transgender rights because that is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares what transgender people do, let's focus on real issues
Nowhere in the bible does it say that being transgender is a sin. No person or civilization from the B.C era through the Middle Ages through the Victorian era ever had any issues with people being Transgender .
I believe all men should be able to play women's sports and women should be able to play men's sports, that way it doesn't matter if a transgender person is playing a man or women's sport.
I believe bathrooms should be unisex, and include urinals and toilets. I also believe that those unisex bathrooms should be a fusion of men's and women's bathrooms. This way the whole trans bathroom debate is settled
I believe that transgender people are the gender God sees them as.
I believe there are biological differences between males and females
I personally and legality wise lean support for transgender marriage
Males have penises , females have breasts and vaginas. SCIENCE SAYS SO. Anyone who says otherwise is a nuts. Science says so
Children networks should not be teaching kids about Draq Queens. Children should not be drag queens Shame on Nickelodeon for their indoctrination of our kids with that highly questionable material.
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.
Personally I don't believe children under 16 should be transgender. Legality wise I am vote present while noting off the record that I am against children under 16 becoming transgender
Teachers shouldn't encourage students to be transgender. Their job is to teach not to convert kids into being transgender. I am also against Nickelodeon teaching kids about trangenderism
I can name as many genders as the most Conservative students at Cal Berkeley can
I
I support RuPaul not allowing women who had sex change surgeries to compete in the drag race since they have unfair advantages over the drag queens. I also agree with a few of RuPual's anti trans views that he had years back
I am against there being a Transgender Rememberance Day
I am apolitical lean with a heavy heart against hate crime laws for hate crimes committed against gay, transgender and transsexual people. There is enough hate crime laws (ie biological sex, race-ethnicity, religion etc) to cover most of the hate crimes against gay, transgender and transsexual people without having to add more.
Furthermore, I am a Anarcho Libertarian (small government), and adding yet more hate crime laws after all of the current hate crime laws has put me over the edge where I am apolitical lean with a heavy heart against hate crime laws for hate crimes committed against gay, transgender or transsexual people.
Taboo relations
I am solidly against Polygamy, Polyamory and open marriages. I don't want anyone to engage in Polygamy, Polyamory or open marriages ever. Children suffer when they have parents who are Polygamous or in open marriages. Polygamy et al cheapens love.
I am against Pedophilia and I don't agree with the USA Today article on them. I believe we need to get tougher with them not softer. Pedophilia is wrong ,evil and appalling. I support keeping the sex offender database . Children need to be protected from Pedophiles. Pedophiles are not born that way
I am against Pornography and I believe that Pornography should be illegal. My criticism of it is bipartisan. It's good Pornhub deleted a lot of their vidoes. I am neutral on the credit card company cancelling Pornhub
I am fine with BDSM which I feel should fully replace pornography in the future
I am against fetishography and I want it to be illegal forever
I am against legalizing public sex. People should never be allowed to have sex in public ever.
Women's reproductive issues
Systematically, I believe there is common ground between pro lifers and pro choicers. Instead of changing laws to commit a never ending tug of war between the two sides, we should focus on more policies that support women, children and families, which has already caused declining abortion numbers for years.
Systematically, I use to morally (as in moral victory) want Roe v Wade to be overturned with repartations for every woman forced to carry out an unwanted abortion. But now I systematically, want the government abolished and self government to replace it to deal with the abortion issue

Personally I am pro life on third trimester abortion
Legality wise, I
Personally and legality wise ,I am pro choice for abortion in the first 2 trimesters for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. However, I believe that women who are pregnant via rape or incest should have very easy access to Misoprostol, ideally for the first 12 weeks of their pregnancies
Personally, I am Pro Life for third trimester abortion for rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. However, in those situations, I'd want abortion stations (that meet the standards of modern abortion clinics) with abortion workers to give women who want abortions due to rape or incest abortions if they try to have them illegally (like injection stations for drug addicts in Vancouver but for women who are pregnant via rape or incest who want abortions for that reason). I'd also be fine with abortion sanctuaries being opened up ONLY for women who want abortions for rape or incest
Legality wise I am Pro Life (except when I temporarily oscillate to my lean pro choice/PLIABAN state in which case I am Pro Choice) on third trimester abortion for rape ,incest and to save the life of the mother
The only reason I am not flat out pro life personally and legality wise is because I know that many to most women who have abortions end up having children anyway after their abortion, and many of those women who have children after their abortion, end up having more children than they would have if they didn't have their abortion
My mom almost lost me during her pregnancy and that forced me to be the way I am political wise on this issue. There is nothing wrong with being Pro Life and people who attack Pro Lifers are misguided at best and evil at worst. I believe life begins at conception.
However, legality wise if a baby who is conceived via rape or incest survives an abortion, I'd want that baby to get full medical care like any baby would and if they were denied medical care
I am against partial birth abortion and live birth abortion being legal even for babies conceived via rape and incest and I hope they are forever illegal
I believe women should not be discouraged from going to Pro life centers or going through with their pregnancies
I want a lot more adoption centers to be open nationwide
I
I support parental notification laws
I am against partial birth abortion and live birth abortion being legal even for babies conceived via rape and incest and I hope they are forever illegal
I
I
I am against Justin Trudeau going after pro life charities and pro life groups. Trudeau is a fascist dictator for doing that and proves he is a hypocrite on abortion since he doesn't trust women to make their own decision.
I
I believe that kids should learn sex education before graduating elementary school and continue to learn it as preteens and teens. This would help kids, preteens and teens know not to become pregnant, to use common sense and have more anticonceptive access which should be easier for them to get. (with the methods approved by people with Christian values or Christian like values)
In addition, along with sex education, I'd also want kids, preteens and teens to to be taught abstinence (I am Pro Abstinence)
Ronald Reagan once said "the only people who are pro choice are people who are alive. I believe that it is a decent and definsible position
I believe that women should have easier access to Misoprostol for up to the first 12 weeks of pregnancy as a last ditch effort to curb clinic abortions
I have never and will never encourage women to have abortions. It's good to pray for women to keep their babies
I
Personally, I
Legality wise I
If men could have babies ,all of my abortion views would be exactly the same
I am radically apolitical to support (but rare safe legal) on Stem Cell research
I am against population control. Population Control is an assault on reproductive rights and its a human rights violation (right to procreate, right to life) . Human life is sacred. Overpopulation (the other excuse for it) is a myth. Climate change is real but population control doesn't stop it and is extremely counterproductive. The government has no right to have any say in a womans sex life. How many kids a woman has or whether she has kids is her decision to make not the Governments decision. China was and is wrong for using population control
feminism
I support feminism to an extent and I support feminism. But there are a few feminist things that I am against (like that Lego complaint years ago by feminists, or the view by feminists that all men are rapists, or feminists saying that that video game designer from Puerto Rico was misogynist or should be fired for his gamer gate comments or feminists downplaying the evil extremism of Valerie Solanas, or the criticism of Jurassic World by some feminists, feminists complaining about urinals fringe things like that I disagree with feminists on)
I am a fan of 1980s Republican yuppie feminism (like the Republican yuppie feminism on the first season of Married with Children)
I respect the choice of women who engage in this type of feminism . #freedomofchoice
I proactively support females and mainstreaming of women into all spheres of life, even head of state.
Women should always get paid equally to men. I support income equality
I support women's suffrage
Margaret Thratcher was right about wanting something done get a woman to do it.
I am against specific aspects of the Equal Rights Amendment that need clarity. I don't really believe that much or at all that there should be an equal amount of men and women players in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, . I don't really believe that Women's Shelters should be shut down or be shelters for all genders or similar things in the ERA.
I celebrate the choice of and have great respect for women who choose to be housewives and mothers. Some women in my immediate family chose to be housewives and mothers and I celebrate the choice for and have great respect for that choice they made.
I do not claim that is the only valid choice for women; many women in my family or who I have great respect for were/are greatly successful career women and I also celebrate that choice for them too.
I am against Prostitution being legalized or decriminalized. Prostitution cheapens love and it is LUST. It also creates a negative environment for children who have a mother who does that. The buyer should only be arrested for prostitution not the sex worker. 1991 Oregon study of prostitution show alarming statistics for why sex work is a serious issue.
That Slate columnist did nothing wrong by sharing tips about Wikipedia controversies with another reporter or by mentioning the relationship status of Anita S.
I do not agree with things in the Wikipedia article about Gender Bias on Wikipedia. In my opinion, no one is stopping women from becoming Wikipedia editors and writing articles about women or other subjects. It is just as easy for women to jump in and become regular Wikipedia editors as it is for men to do so.
I believe gender equality needs to improve in politics too. Unequal representation of women in politics is the cause of our democratic deficit. Gender equality must be a principal which guides political action which is why I endorse mechanisms which allow women and men to apply to internal political leadership positions and in popular election positions. Not only do I endorse more women in the representation of the political parties but also in forums, seminars, training schools, and similar instances which give concrete signals based on equality and non discrimination
Men's issues
I
Chris Pratt's Instagram post about his wife was not sexist in any way shape or form. Anyone who thinks otherwise has mental issues
I don't believe that male privilege is real. I have never and I will never apologize for being male. There is nothing wrong with being male.
I believe there is nothing wrong with men showing chivalry to women and I know that chivalry is not sexist
I
As long as Toxic Masculinity isn’t sexist or misogynist, I am not that against it otherwise I am fully against it
I like the hype masculinity of shows like Last Man Standing.
Male Chauvinism is too ridicoulous for me to take seriously. It's almost like Male Chauvinists are feminist plants or are Male Chauvinists are playing a character to get a rise out of feminists (so I don't get misquoted Male Chavunism is obviously wrong). I am glad that women don't need men anymore for babies. Also I am glad that women becoming Lesbians is more common now since they don't have to be stuck being married or in relationships with men who might be Male Chauvinists.
Mens/Womens relational issues
I believe that adopting children should be easier for people including and possibly especially Christians
I am supportive of the Promise Keepers and I don't feel they are a bad group. I'll leave it at that.
I believe that a husband has a responsibility to lead his household in a loving and gentle way, giving his life to his wife (like how Christ gave his life to the Church by dying) so she (the wife) can willingly submit to her husband's leadership.
I echo this view: "A Promise Keeper is committed to building strong marriages and families through love, protection, and biblical values"
There is nothing wrong with Sandy from Grease changing herself into a biker chic to please Danny, just like there is nothing wrong with Danny trying to be an athlete to please Sandy. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool. There is generally and conditionally nothing wrong with girls changing something about themselves in order to please a guy ,just like there is generally and conditionally nothing wrong with guys changing something about themselves in order to please a girl.
I am 100 percent against Domestic violence and domestic abusers should go to prison (but I don't believe that marriages should end over them automatically unless one side wants the marriages to end and I believe that husbands and wives should try to help each other while the other is in prison get through it if they decide to stay together)
However if a woman attacks her husband and is really physically hurting her husband, the husband should be allowed to defend themselves against the attacking wife if he can't prevent her from attacking him, even if he has to use violence against her to get her off of him/to stop attacking him/get her out of the way. Self defense is a human right. I believe women should beat the **** out of their husbands if their husbands abuse/hurt them or even try to abuse/hurt them. The best way for women to stop domestic violence and abuse is to literally fight back and kick the **** out of their husbands to teach them not to **** with them.
Similar to the Apostle Paul, I believe that for singles it is good for them to remain single unless they cannot self control in which case they should get into a romantic relationship (its better to get into a romantic relationship than to burn with lust) I believe this because single people have more time and freedom to help make our world more progressive, and due to me believing that romantic relationships are more a forced social construct, even more so than marriages and I hate forced social constructs.
In light of that, I would be somewhat open to the government creating a romantic relationship tax which taxes Americans (of all sexual orientations) who are in a romantic relationship. However, once they get married or they became single again, that tax would be eliminated unless they get into another romantic relationship again. Unlike Paul, I believe that marriages give people a lot more freedom today to make the world a better place than it was during Paul's time, almost as much freedom as singles in Paul's day had for themselves. If this tax had the negative side effect of causing less births (which I don't want since I am against Population control), then I would be against this tax unless I found some way to have this tax be legal while at the same time not causing less births.
Immigration (legal/illegal/refugees)
I am between hostile to and against Open borders
Personally and Systematically I believe we should set up a United Nations Buffer Zone (patrolled by United Nations peacekeeper force) between the US and Mexico along the whole US-Mexico border on the Mexico side of the US-Mexico border to help would be illegal migrants
Personally and Systematically I'd also want the US implement the Grenze 2000 plan (detailed here) to have sensors and detectors replace the entire current US-Mexico barrier. That system would automate and digitise the whole border control process . There'd be no required physical card indexes and no guards would be required at passport control.. The Visas, access rights and other things would all be completed by a centrally networked PC. This system would include radio beacons, vibration detectors, infrared barriers, electrical surge protectors, and radio frequency reconnaissance equipment.
Personally and Systematically I feel we need to clear the migration backlogs before we think about doing migration reform:
The backlog of 600,000-plus fugitive deportee cases. The backlog of 4 million immigration applications of all kinds. The backlog of an estimated 100,000 FBI background checks for legal immigrant applicants. The disappearance of 111,000 citizenship applications. The above numbers are from 2007 but i am sure the numbers are similar to that today.
The Washington Post reported in 2007 that those loads of unprocessed paperwork was growing. Over a few hundred thousand immigrants who come here legally continue to wait for FBI background checks before they become naturalized. This backlog of the legal migrants' naturalization applications (and other benefits), from 2005-2007 for example doubled to 329,160.
Personally and Systematically , I believe that the US thus should fix the above mess first before allowing millions of seasonal migrant worker applications to be submitted. We also should clear the obstacles to a Path of Citizenship for legal migrants who followed the rules before we start impelementing the reauthorized 1986 IRCA for illegals. Let's give legal migrants priority over illegal migrants.
Personally and Systematically , my views on Interior enforcement meshes with the founder of this movements views on interior enforcement with a touch of Bernie Sanders view on that
Personally and Systematically once the backlogs are cleared , I personally and systematically support a 1986 IRCA type immigration reform reapplied today:
Amnesty to vast majority of illegal migrants who arrived in the US more than 5 years ago and who have continuously lived in the US since then while penalizing them with back taxes, fines and admission of guilt along with proof they hadn't done any crimes since their illegal arrival in the US along with some minimal knowledge about U.S. history and government and the English language. This would also legalize certain seaonable undocumented migrants more than current migration reform bills
This mass legalization might have the unintended negative drawbacks of causing now legalized migrants who are retired or when they retire to move back to Mexico and Central America . So if we need to keep that in mind and allowing them to remove any hurdles for reporting illegal. igrants in their own community (since there would be no fear of them being deported since they're now legal).
But on the flip side, this would bring a lot of illegal migrants into the light immediately and allow them to have no excuses for not becoming Americans.
To build upon the IRCA act, we should strengthened the sanctions and penalties on businesses who hire or recruit illegal immigrants knowingly along with closing all loopholes. ICE should be arresting bossees in the US who knowingly hire illegals as much as Ice focuses on deporting illegals.
Moreover welfare or unemployed legal US citizens should replace illegals as the ideal workers for jobs that usually hire illegals (including jobs in growing sectors). This should be done through encouraging those unemployed legal citizens and pro illegal migrant buisnesses to mutually agree to that.
The IRCA reduced illegal immigration for 3 years
Personally and Systematically , I support additional resources being sent to the federal agencies that process asylum claims to reduce the existing backlog after the above changes are made to prevent future backlogs from getting out of hand and adjudicate new claims in a more timely fashion. I also support a degrowth element added to the asylum seeker process.
Personally and Systematically I am against mass deportations.
Personally and Systematically I feel we need to spend more time, resources and energy addressing concerns that lead to illegal migrants bring targeted for deportations and maybe fix the bigger issues with illegal immigration that go beyond deportations than we should spend on the whole deportation issue
Legality wise, I moral (moral as in moral victory) support having this exact migration system in the US: that the Labour Party UK supports (since it isn't natural for people to have to go through a bureaucratic process to move to another country, borders didn't exist until modern times). Ideally, with the above migration policy, we would set up a system where this wouldn't cause migration chaos (I honestly don't believe that with those policies there would be anywhere near that many migrants moving to the US each year)
Legality wise, my views on deportation match Labour Party UK’s views on deportations
Personally, systematically and Legality wise here are my other migration views:
I feel that the US must work in Central America to address the root causes of migration from Central America, to recognize that we don't need to sacrifice our humanity in the name of security. We also must work with Mexico to make sure that it takes its own border security seriously. Moreover, working with our neighbors to improve security across the region is an imporant component of any policy to promote prosperity and fairness in the hemisphere. A safe and secure region will lead to a safer, more secure United States.
Like other moderates, I also believe that the US also must engage with countries like Mexico and in Central America to address the causes that cause them to migrate to the US illegally
I am obviously very pro migrant but if we ever get to a point where there are almost as many migrants moving into the US each year as there are legal residents living in the US (or some number or percent not too far off from that), at that point I would be non hostile to even neutral lean open minded to drastic measures like closing the border or extremely and possibly severly restricting migration for awhile (which would be more restrictive than Donald Trumps migration policies). Too much of a good thing is bad, even that.
I would not condemn (but wouldn't neccassarily support) the US government if they built a border wall on our southern border if that wall was exactly as long, big ,high and thick as the wall in Game of Thrones that separates the North from the Wildings (and only because I am a fan of Game of Thrones, even Kit Harrington would endorse this view)
Churches should not snitch on illegal immigrants since that would be against God
David stole bread when he was hungry and God didn't condemn him, so for some refugees, asylum seekers and even some illegal immigrants, that similarly holds true.
I do not support the United Nations migrant treaty
I am against Joe Biden flying in illegal migrants covertly. I am pro migrant but that is too far left for me and its a violation of our constitution.
I am against illegal immigrants getting free health care
The rest of my migration views match the Bush Center's migration views
Undocumented migrants and refugees don't commit more or less crime/violent crime than legal citizens
Undocumented migrants shouldn't have more rights than legal citizens
I am symbolically ok with The Keep Families Together Act https://www.king.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/king-colleagues-introduce-legislation-to-halt-separation-of-immigrant-families . Though making it a tad more conservative wouldn’t hurt
People can move to Japan not become Japanese ,people can move to Britain but not become British but people can move to America and become American. That is a message some hardliners on migration need to get. Optimism trumps determinism
I believe that migrants to the US should learn English
I am against NAFTA
I support Brexit (Jeremy Corbyn also supported and continues to support Brexit)
I am a Eurosceptic (Jeremy Corbyn is a Euro Skeptic)
Ethnicity/race issues
Object oriented ontology is nonsense and psuedoscience. There is no such thing as Human Priveledge and if there was such a thing I would fully support Human Priveledge since Humans are superior to non human objects and anyone who says otherwise need mental help
In some other realities, my other reality dopplegangers are as far left and progressive on Ethnicity and race issues in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s, 2030s etc as Morgan Freeman is in on those issues in our current reality
Equality is better than Equity
I support Affirmative Action but I hope within the next 100 years Affirmative Action is removed and we go back to Merit based hiring. If after 100 years that does not happen, then at that point we should then encourage BIPOC+ to follow this advice and also become self reliant in addition to our country making Affirmative Action like it was originally (which is saying 'this job is open to any applicant' and then the bosses actively trying to find minority applicants through definite actions) as opposed to focusing on quotas and equity Affirmative Action that we have today.
Equality of Opporutinity could be seen as violating liberty and property rights in that it contravenes the true meaning of the Declaration of Independance and subverts the principles of a free society.
I am against Asian students being discriminated against in admissions by colleges. Colleges should stop discriminating against Asian students. I support Donald Trump's lawsuit against Yale
I am somewhat against wokeness but mostly from a liberal perspective
With a heavy heart, I don't believe that white privelege is real. But if woke liberals keep saying that white privlege is real (even though it's not real), whites are going to start falsely believing that white privelege is real. Once that happens, whites will become psychologically priveleged (since they'll believe that lie) and then there really will be racial issues from whites toward BIPOC+ that the woke liberals say exists today.
There is nothing wrong with being white. I have never and I will never apologize for being white.
It is not ok to hate white people or any race-ethnicity and whiteness is not terrorism, it is ok to be white or any race-ethnicity.
I make sure when I talk to BIPOC+ I am respectful, clear and polite and I feel maybe if Republicans were like that with BIPOC+ they would gain more BIPOC+ to their side. I always am glad to see and talk to BIPOC+
I am between being empathatic to this letter (and thinking there might be some truth to it) https://medium.com/@soumynona_/anonymous-letter-from-uc-berkeley-professor-in-response-to-black-lives-matter-protests-24a66a6f1ca7 and me echoing what the letter says
I had no idea the policy 'brutality' stories in 2020 happened until late 2020/early 2021. I didn't know about the racial unrest story until late 2020/early 2021.
We have to become a direct and participatory democracy so the electorate decides on policy initiatives without elected representatives as proxies and which citizens participate individually and directly in political decisions and policies that affect their lives. This will make the need or desire to protest almost non existent as people will cause most of their political needs and wants implemented through direct and participatory democracy
I love this strategy below and I apply this strategy below to 'modern day Federalist' groups. "In his public pronouncements, Monroe was careful to avoid any comments that could be interpreted as politically endorsing or condemning the Federalists. Not only did he never attack the Federalist party, he made no direct reference to them in his speeches whatsoever: officially, they ceased to exist. In his private encounters with Federalists, he made favorable impressions, committing himself to nothing, yet eliciting good feelings, and reassuring them that his policies would be generous, as he proceeded quietly with a program of "de-Federalization" (source:Wikipedia)
Everyone on Earth is equal to each other in God's eyes and no life is more or less important than another life. Equal means Equal. To quote Barack Obama: “Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America — there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America — there's the United States of America. The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too: We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States, and, yes, we've got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq.”
I am a fan of Booker T Washington and WEB Dubois and their views on race and ethnicity
I am not an antiracist (I am not racist) . I am Anti hierarchies, Anti power-subordination and Anti patriarchies. I also disavow classism and the existence of classes
I don't believe that the CRT should be taught in schools and I wouldn't lose sleep if it never is taught in schools to say the least. I am fine with parents trying to stop it from being taught in schools. Being anti censorship has its limits.
If American parents who don't want the CRT to be taught in schools want to try a more effective way to stop it from being taught, then they should try to get elected to school boards around the US to prevent the CRT from being taught in schools.
If the CRT must be taught somewhere then it should only be taught in colleges, debate classes in high school and law schools. Moreover if there is a class about modern political issues in grades 6-12, then they can teach about the CRT and its signifiance to the political debate in those type of classes but not the CRT itself.
I criticize the CRT from the RIGHT and the LEFT (my leftist criticism of the CRT is that the CRT is not rationally inquiring and goes for narrative, uses stories mostly fictional anecdotal etc which goes against reasoned argumentation and may reinforce stereotypes about BIPOC, my right wing criticism is that it is divisive, inaccurate, fuels the far right and is reactionary)
CRT and toxic Wokeness need to be put on a space ship bus so to speak and sent into space (ie CRT needs to stop being taught and Wokeness needs to end permaently). But I am willing to change my mind if pro CRT people can make a convincing argument to me why the CRT should be taught in schools
Parents who harass, argue or go after teachers at school board meetings are NOT domestic terrorists or terrorists
I between against and me not believing that the 1619 Project should be taught in schools except for colleges. Many top historians criticized the 1619 project, as did a New York Times op ed piece along with similar complaints. If public k-8 schools had an alternate history class then I'd be open with it being taught in those classes only. I encourage parents to censor the 1619 Project
I am against Equitable Math being taught in schools. Math is not racist and there is no systematic racism in teaching Math. Equitable Math is race norming disguised as a liberal teaching method. I do hope that parents try to stop it from being taught. I would be open to Equitable Math being taught in resource math classes or in summer school math classes only. There are better ways to show that there are multiple ways to solve problems than by using this method
I support Advance Math being taught in schools from 1st to 12th grade. I also support advanced students being skipped ahead a grade.
Students should not be required to take ethnic studies classes in high school. It's their RIGHT to not take that course and the government has NO RIGHT to require students to take such courses.
I support Standard Testing and the SAT
Oral Roberts should not be penalized in any way shape or form for the views of their founder. Anyone who says otherwise is a racist pig.
I am pretty much slighty more than just a fan of Assata Shakur and I support between a few to some and some of her 1970s views. If her 1970s views had been put in place, our country may have been less racially tense currently tense than it is now. Or maybe I just am compassionate or strongly sympathize with her due to her criminal history.
I am between empathizing and somewhat sympathizing with this view : It would be great if blacks suddenly outnumber whites in the US etc and somehow get the power and position in the US from here on out that whites traditionally had while at the same time having whites be demoted and have the historical positions etc that blacks have had in the US in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s 1990s (ie blacks and whites switch places).
I don't agree with that view however. It's just I am a fan of Trading Places type of movies /tv and can between empathize and somewhat sympathize with the above view.
If blacks were ever in position to really switch places with whites as noted above (even through Anarchist methods), I'd be between pretty much empathizing with blacks and their allies trying to pull that off and me being beyond a reasonable doubt an Honorary True Companion mercenary in helping them pull it off but since we are nowhere near that point, I will continue to only be between empathizing and somewhat sympathizing with this view. However my motive would be more wanting to shake things up as opposed to being a SJW.
I support Interracial Marriage
I believe that BIPOC+ can be prejudiced against whites
I am against anti white hate speech and anti white jokes. We need to stop anti white hate speech and anti white jokes now so that they never become normalized ever.
White people don't make up the majority of mass shooters and statistics back this up
Blaming whites for everything is anti white hate and needs to stop. Anti white conspiracy theorists are deluded
I am mixed to lean against there being a Black National Anthem. Either there is only ONE National Anthem, for ALL Americans regardless of race or ethnicity and the Black National Anthem should not be considered a National Anthem (which it originally was never intended to be) or there is a National Anthem for all races and ethnicities, including for blacks.
I don't believe that the National Anthem should be played at sporting events
Meena Harris said ignorant more than potentially hateful comments. White Males are NOT the biggest 'terroristic' threat to this country. Those comments she made are WRONG and pretty DIVISIVE. She is an intelligent person who knows better. I agree to disagree with her. She needs to learn how not to say things like that
Don't let the ADL fool you: Among the ADL’s four categories of violence—Islamist, left-wing, right-wing, and white supremacist extremism—researchers found that the first two were more or less accurate; 85 of the 88 Islamist incidents checked out as properly labeled, as did 24 of the 26 leftist ones. Where the ADL was inflating things was almost entirely in the “white, right-wing” areas.
As the researchers noted, among the 300 incidents of right-wing extremism during this period, when reviewed, only 131 were found to truly fit the bill. White supremacist extremism was even more inflated: just 57 incidents of the 199 claimed by the ADL credibly had such a motivation.
That the ADL’s “hate inflation” fell only on whites and right-wingers; that the spirit of scrutiny apparently grips the SPLC when reviewing some racial agendas but not others; and that people like Neiwert pass over basic facts to pursue anti-white narratives can be summed up in one word: bigotry. It should be called out as such by conservatives and independents whenever they see it.
Colin Kaepernick's hate filled Tweet on July 4 2020 was 100 percent divisive and wrong. The US is not now or ever was a White Supremist country and its not a white supremist act to celebrate Independance Day. He should apologize for those tweets and not make them again
I am not racist and I view all races and ethnicities on Earth as equal. However, I am between Human (Anthrope) Chauvinist and Archie Bunker bigoted against a lot of non human intelligent life extraterrestrial species who lives in other solar systems, galaxies and universes.
I am between indifferent to and me being reverse racist/racially prejudiced against some intelligent life extra terrestrial races in other solar systems, galaxies and universes who are of a race that is not found on Earth (even if they are human) .Reverse Racist/racially prejudiced means like how some blacks in the mid late to late 20th century and 21st century are reverse racist/racially prejudiced against whites (especially in ways that White conservatives think or say are 'racist')
Children/Disabled
School/work
I support removing the inequality in the education system including equality of access, a creative fiscally responsible, Libertarian way to fix student debt, fighting fraud of many for profit universities etc. I also support a tax reform added to our constitution to fix issues related to distribution of wealth and power
The government should not fund universal pre school.
I support and recemmend charter schools and homeschooling but I also support quality public education
I support school choice for students (since I wanted it when I moved to my new town 1997 but couldn't get a voucher).
I believe that school truancy should be decriminalized
I believe homework should always be required for students in schools. I want homework to continue to be a part of schooling forever or as long as there are schools
I believe that disrespectful students should be suspended. Suspending disrespectful students is the best thing for them and is a time honored method to correctify their behavior.
I believe that the Tuttle Twin books should be taught in schools and in school libraries throughout the US and Canada
I believe we should have a discussion about defunding Academia https://madmimi.com/s/3867d01
I only support this type of home based enterprise child labor that is in the link below (as long as its voluntary) and only if the children are over 6 and get paid more than adults https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Child_Labor_in_United_States_1912a.jpg
Laws
I support Judeo Christian school students and teachers having prayer meetings after school in the parking lot (like what my former high school does) Along with all other religions too if that is what is needed for that to be allowed
I believe the national driving age in the US should be lowered to 15.
Child Values
I believe kids should be respectful to their parents, teachers and adults. People should ways be polite and not lie unless in very rare cases
I believe children who misbehave should be lightly spanked and punished (time outs).
I am against the 'Everybody gets a trophy culture' It make it hard for kids who become adults to deal with adversity
I believe that all kids should read the Tuttle Twins books since those books teach great lessons for kids.
Disability
I am apolitical to support on Terri's Law
IP
When I see someone who is different than me, I ignore their differences because focusing on their differences is boring and predictable and I am a unique and unconventional person who doesn't like to do boring or predictable things. I will never focus on someones ethnicity-race, disability-mental disorder, sex-gender, sexual orientation, etc when seeing them since I am unique and unconventional and focusing on someones differences goes against my values of being unique and unconventional
I believe we need to be more principled on diversity and inclusion. Democratic deficits happen due lack of social and political representation. Human rights should at the core of our political parties to drive them to guarantee their actions will promote equality and non discrimination. True freedom cannot exist if only some choose. I value diversity (in my own complex unique way). We need a new development model for the US that is sustainable in the long run and that is as just and fair as Equity but parallel to equity for Americans. We also need to build a new citizen state whose main objective is to search for equality and protection from abuse snd injustice
I support unlimited human rights and unlimited equality . I believe that equality governs as a fundamental principle which allows effective exercise of rights and self determination of individuals and peoples
This is why I support fuller equality where everyone can fully develop from their diversity with an inclusive approach along with promoting respect for the self evident dignity of people (modern egalitarian theory fulled with equal adjacent results or some other form of equal results). I reject the false Neoliberal promise of mere individual self determination, since that is only a privilege for those who can pay for it so that Equality model is insufficient
I believe in the integration between social groups where differences are valued in an environment of solidarity, respect, protection (possibly paternalism) and collaboration as a means to create a happy and democratic society. In this way, social relations are ordered through organization and collaboration over the logic of competition. In addition where at the individuals level their integrality is valued this is the affective, social and political dimension as opposed to merely an economic one.
From a social perspective, I understand property and I consider its reason being found in the realization of collective well being. In this particular way, exploitation of natural resources should be done while at the same time considering the current unequal distribution of its costs and benefits and also assuming intergenerational justice and the biosphere limits as the guiding principals for political action
I am against Identity politics, including Left Wing Identity politics, the latter of which I strongly disagree with in an agree to disagree sort of way
I am interested in MOVE Identitarinism
I
When I want a cultural shakeup, I support a notorius m agonistic strand of radical democracy which seeks to expand democracy in equality and liberty and thus radically expand and extend all civil liberties
I condone National Liberalism
I am a Joseph of Arimathea 'secret' Christian Nationalist
I support Civic Nationalism
I am neutral on Multculturalism
I support cultural variation as in religious rejectionism
I believe in human rights like the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I also believe that equality (equality is my guiding light and equality is more important than liberty, equality comes before liberty), justice (based on the enlightenment egalitarianism) and solidarity (empathetic, autonomous unironically non negotiable) should be added as human rights
We must balance negative rights and positive rights. We should respect positive rights such as right to health (in a way that meshes with all of my combined socioeconomic views in this blog) and adequate standard of living (adequate by my standards). We should strengthen negative rights like freedom of speech and property rights .
Eventually we should turn into a self governing society where we won’t need to lower ourselves by relying on the approval of bourgeois aristocratic rulers and their police state underlings for recognition and protection of our equality since that would mean the state has dominion over us if we need them to recognize and protect our rights and that would contradict the whole point of equality
I am fan of a fusion of Woodrow Wilson’s version of New Nationalism he employed as President (which includes curbing the excesses of business and promoting social welfare, believing that human rights are more important than property rights)
I do believe we need to have a Deliberation about Nationalism (the one word type) which could lead me to be at worst pitiful with a heavy heart toward it
It's not unreasonable to think that Nationalism is better than Globalism and Globalizationism
I oscillate between being between me saying that I am not a Western Chavuinist, but if people want to be Western Chauvinists, fine, I’m not going to convince them otherwise. I view Western Chauvinism as so over the top , it's like it is a bad parody or a joke and thus I can't get worked up over it. How can anyone take those ignorant, lunatic Western Chauvinists seriously and me saying I much prefer Western Chauvinism over Globalism, Globalization, Cultural Marxism and Multiculturism (ie I view Western Chauvinism as the lesser of 5 evils). Western Chauvinism is not racist, bigoted or xenophobic. It's just not for me. However, I also have an extreme sense of patriotism and I refuse to apologize for creating the modern world and me being between viewing Western Chauvinism as 90s anti heroish and me subconsciously leaning open minded for Western Chauvinism.
White Nationalism is not something that I support since I am too idealistic and moralistic to become one. It is beneath me. I have enough issues in my personal life and more white people have caused me misery than BIPOC+ people.
White Nationalism is based on a myth (Great Replacement conspiracy theory). We need to tell the White Nationalists that the Great Replacement theory is a myth and that they have nothing to worry about so they stop being White Nationalists. Moreover, White Nationalists dream worlds are boring since their dream worlds would have no diversity and I like diversity (I hate everyone being the same or doing the same things, so seeing a White Nationalist dream world where everyone was white would drive me insane and would trigger me since they'd all look the same via being the same race). I am neutral to compassionately apolitical on Asian Nationalism in Japan and China

I support something between a fusion of Far Center Nationalism, Left Wing Nationaism and Imperialism in Israel. I also off the record support a new form of Nationalism just for Russia that fuses Far Center Nationalism and Left Wing Nationalism with Transnational Nationalism and South Ossetia Nationalism
There is a good chance I might be open to Centrist (ie Center) Nationalism that was somewhat compassionate
I love how the far mid right is starting to attract BIPOC+ people to their side and that makes me believe that the far mid right might come even further left one day to a point where I'd actually be ok with them like I am ok with moderate Republicans today. But the far mid right still has a way to go to get to that point, but I am rooting for them to get more inclusive.
It would be ideal if Blind Hiring system replaced Quota system at some point in the future
I
SJW/Cancel culture/PC
I am a fan of the IDW and endorse nearly most of their views or maybe most of their views. I would prefer to use PC methods instead of IDW methods on SJWs, PC crusaders and cancel culture warriors but its not easy to do so
I am pretty much more than against SJWism to an extent.
SJWs are right some of the time (not a lot)
I am against Cancel Culture
PC
I am generally against PC but I am not as harsh on them as Dave Rubin and the IDW are (but I can be tough none the less even showing tough love at times). PC warriors aren't wrong all of the time or possibly as much as you think.
I am against Censorship
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 schills
There is NOTHING offensive about the 1964 Rudolph Red Nosed Reindeer movie
There is nothing offensive about A Cat in the Hat Comes Back
There is nothing offensive about the puking scene in Ace Ventura. I am open hearted to people offended by that, but they just don't understand 1990s comedy. It's so over the top, it can't be taken seriously and should be more laughed at than laughed with
There is nothing offensive about the movie Airplane (ie there was nothing offensive about that jive scene by Barbara Billingsley). But I respect people who openly and candidly share their thoughts on it while admitting the good aspects of that movie
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 will always be more famous and cooler than they could ever be.
There is NOTHING offensive about the term 'black ice'
THERE IS NOTHING OFFENSIVE ABOUT BUGS BUNNY EATING CARROTS
There is NOTHING offensive about Christmas Story (1983 movie)
There is NOTHING offensive about the name Clown Face Nebula. Not one person would possibly be offended by that name (who the fuck would be offended by that term? clowns? the nebula itself? GTFO with that junk)
There is NOTHING offensive about using these terms: blind alley, blind side, blindspot, grandfathered in, lame, long time no see, psyched. There is nothing wrong with the word crazy being used in pop culture to name things to name things (like Cameron Crazies, the rapper Krazy, the song Crazy in Love by Beyonce, Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle etc). There is nothing wrong with using the word lunatic being used in pop culture to name things (like Lunatic's Pandora in FF VIII, or the name Looney Tunes etc)
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).
I don't find Entourage Vince's womanizing to be that bad. He is a sex addict and needed sex counseling. Entourage got the right blowback for Vince's womanizing when it aired, more blowback now for it seems unhelpful.
There is NOTHING offensive about Goonies (1985 movie)
There is NOTHING offensive about Horton Hears a Who
There is NOTHING offensive or wrong about the Jeffersons or George Jefferson's actions on the show
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 Mike Tyson's Punch Out
There is NOTHING offensive about Pepe le Pew (Pepe does not cause rape just like violent video games don't cause violence and Islam doesn't cause Islamic terrorism) There is nothing offensive about him being French, it's light hearted mocking of French people.
There is NOTHING offensive about Porky Pig stuttering
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 NOTHNIG offensive about the Splash Mountain Disney ride
There is NOTHING offensive about Super Mario Odyssey
The term 'doo rag' pc criticism on Survivor went overboard. Maybe that term has some negative conations and the person on Survivor who complained about that term was a teacher who studies race, ethnicity and CRT like subjects so I can live with him complaining about the doo rag since he complains about that stuff for a living but he went too overboard with that pc stuff
There is NOTHING offensive about Tasmanian Devil. He is NOT ABELIST.
I agree with Bill Maher on his views on the 2022 Whoopi Goldberg's suspension from the View
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'
There is NOTHING offensive about the term 'white christmas' or the song White Christmas , only cold hearted, Grinch Scrooge freaks would take offense with those terms
The Cleveland Guardians team should be renamed Dolans (after the owner James Dolan), Tribe (Tribe as in universal meaning and not meaning any specific group, ie tribe as in clan of like minded people ie fans), Babes, Ohioans
The Edmonton Elks should be renamed to the Algonquian--Montagnais words that sound very similar to Eskimo and that were used by some Native people in the Arctica area (ie the Mi'kmaq people) to refer to snowshoe netter or to net snowshoes (instead being called Eskimos or Elks). The name would refer to Canadians of all races and ethnicities who live in very snowy areas or who love engaging in snow activities like snow shoeing and have nothing to do with Native people. Or the Edmonton Elks should be renamed the Edmonton Edy's
Edy's Pie should be renamed to Nanuk Pie
I call more than a few hypothetical species of intelligent life extraterrestrials who live in other solar systems, galaxies and universes, who are psychotic, insane and have mental disorders 'commanders'
I am going to try to send space time capsules and SETI signals to intelligent life extraterrestrial civilizations in other solar systems, galaxies and universes so children on those planets can read UNcensored versions of these Dr Seuss books: If I Ran a Zoo, McEligot's Pool , On Beyond Zebra, Return of Cat in the Hat, Scrambled Eggs Super, To Think I Heard it on Mulberry Street and Cat's Quizzeter
I am going to try to send SETI signals to intelligent life extraterrestrial civilizations in other solar systems, galaxies and universes and get them to name their kool aid like products on their planets Chinese Cherry (for Cherry flavors) ,Freckle Face Strawberry (for Strawberry flavors) and the slur word that Funny Face Drink originally called their orange flavor (for orange flavors)
There is nothing wrong with people dressing up for cosplay or in costumes for Harvest in ways that perpetuate gender norms or gender stereotypes. In fact I RECOMMEND that people dress up in cosplay and for Harvest in costumes (if they celebrate Harvest) in ways that perpetuate gender norms and gender stereotypes as a way to FU SJWs
I do not condemn non Native Americans dressing up as Native Americans for cosplay. It's none of my business (I am a Libertarian)
Crime
I am against the criminal populism of the Anti crime Short agenda. I support the measures proposed in the Crime is not a game thing and I also support the commission investigating Critical neighborhoods along with the investigation of the abandonment of the State in the most vulnerable areas of the country
Sometimes violent protests are needed to be heard (as long as the protest demands are what I would deem as reasonable demands) . This is needed since our current institutions are not able to process social conflicts and to give a peaceful way to fix them
I am dealigned on Criminal Justice Reform
Whether blacks commit more crimes against Asians than non Asians do is too complex to analyze so I have no idea if they do or not. I've seen info from both sides that show blacks do commit more crimes against Asians than non Asians do and that Whites commit more crimes against Asians than Asians do.
All people of all races and ethnicities should take more responsibility for their crimes and actions and stop blaming other people or society for their crimes and actions.
Oscar Lee Stewart should get the same punishment that any other person would get for killing someone via arson. There are no excuses for what he did.
Blacks do address the issue of black on black violence but privately as opposed to making a spectacle out of it. The MSM however, doesn't report that enough which is why some conservatives falsely believe that blacks don't take black on black crime (like in Chicago) seriously. Black on black crimes is a very huge issue that needs to be addressed by all sides.
Crimes committed by blacks should be reported the just as much and in the same exact way as crimes committed by whites are reported.
I am against defunding or abolishing the police. I believe police departments should hire anti police brutality activists and buddhist monks as police officers since they are the last people to use police brutality on suspects. With police departments defunded, violence and injury to civilians increase leading to taxation by citation which is very counterproductive.
I am open to the idea of having police departments run by the county and for those county run police departments to implement deescalation training, using Krav Maga control and restraint techniques instead of chokeholds, ask police officers to step in for other police officers if they used too much force, have police officers patrol on foot more, have police officers introduce themselves to the residents and even host BBQs for their community which may lead to violent crime drops. Also have the police be trained/retrained every year or few years by some of the best police in the US.
If the police are abolished, we'll have vigilantism. However, I think having vigilantes would be a good idea to look in if the police are abolished or seriously defunded widely. Vigilantes like in Death Wish would be a great way to offset having no police or limited defunded police (as long as there are don't kill suspects and adhere to some code of law that is more progressive than the International Human Rights laws for the police officers). However, as it is now, I'd prefer Guardian Angels to vigilantes if we are to look ahead to a world without police (which I hope we never have to do).
I am against people disrespecting the police (like throwing things at them, spitting on them, harassing them, calling for violence against them). Of course in legit self defenses instances where there is beyond a reasonable doubt the police officers are acting against the rules then you have to use self defense on the police officers.
I am against Rashida Tlaib's senseless, illogical proposal to empty prisons. Prisons (all prisons) should be a fixture of society and getting rid of prisons is one the worst ideas I have ever heard. I will fight to make sure she never gets her way with that
I am dealigned on Ban the Box
I
Drugs/Alcohol/Stealing
I am against Cocaine, Fentanyl, Heroin, LSD, Purple Haze, Synthetic Marijuana, Crystal Meth and Crack being legalized or decriminalized. I only want non synthetic Marijuana to be decriminalized for rec use and legalized for medical use. If non synthetic Marijuana is to be legalized (which wouldn't kill me) ,I want weed to be legal in less amounts than it is now and I want weed to be permanently banned in all public places like theme parks, airports, concerts, malls, stores, conventions, schools, movie theaters, and similar places. Keep that **** in private and away from people, for else. Drug trafficking should always be illegal with drug traffickers going to prison for that for years.
People should NOT use non synthetic Fentanyl, non synthetic Marijuana (in at least some cases), Purple Haze, Crystal Meth ,Synthetic Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin, LSD or crack for rec use ever. Just say no.
I believe ideally hard drug users should go to county jail instead of prison then be released earlier and put on years long federal house arrest
However, I am fine with them going to normal prisons for all drug offenses as long as it is somewhat easier for at some of them to be released early than it is for them now to do so but to forced drug rehab centers and then after that they should be released but on post prison/post rehab bail (not probation or parole or similar restrictions) to finish out their sentences.
I also conditionally support mandatory minimum sentencing for hard drug convicts only if it would allow hard drug convicts who show good behavior and reform in prison to be transferred from prison to halfway houses (not long enough to be a burden to them) and then strict probation (but not as strict as intensive supervision probation) to finish their sentence.
I am pragmatically open minded in a somewhat compassionate way to Cocaine (non Crack) and LSD being prescribed more liberally by doctors and Cocaine (non Crack) and LSD being semi illegal (between illegal and decriminalized) if someone is caught with them without a px
I believe we need to tell pro drug people to focus more on lots of drug prevention ie preventing unemployment, fighting poverty, and preventing family dissolution and less on trying to end their perceived 'war on drugs'
All jobs should drug test employees for Cocaine, Crack, LSD and Heroin and other drugs. Jobs probably should also drug test employees for Marijuana (and definetely if they show any signs of being on Marijuana even false alarms)
I support the way Donald Trump fixed the opoid addiction problems in the US
Repeat hard drug offenders who refuse treatment should get somewhat harsher prison sentences than they do now.
Drug traffickers should go to prison for at least 15 years for drug trafficking.
My views on Juul match Elizabeth Warren’s views on Juul
I support blue laws and believe they should be implemented all 50 states.
I don't want Alcohol and Liquor to be sold at theme parks, or at outdoor restaurants.
Stealing is wrong and people should go to prison for stealing.
Gun rights
I am pro gun (radical B grade from the more liberal members of the NRA). I wouldn't mind seeing all guns replaced with bows and yumis but to do so would infringe upon the 2nd amendment (maybe something stronger than incentives for that exchange could be explored). The US has such a long, deep gun loving culture, banning guns now won't work (the bad people will still get guns illegally , you can't compare the US to gun restricting countries due the relative uniqueness of the US and also due to its long gun culture. Gun control laws are also counterproductive at worst and naive at best. Gun control advocates have already gotten enough victories
I can't emphasize this enough: 94 percent of mass shootings were thwarted by a legal gun owner. People with guns are less likely to be victims of crimes. I shouldn't have to say this since it should be obvious to liberals but gun control also has a racist and sexist element to it and gun rights may help blacks defend themselves against violence by cops or anyone.
I am glad Elizabeth Warren is anti gun, she is the gun salesperson of the 2000s and 2010s due to her anti gun extremism
I am ok with expansive background checks to most gun transactions, with exceptions for transfers between family members. I am ok with limiting the size of magazines to ten or eleven and a half rounds, and to make purchasing a gun for someone not legally allowed to have one a more serious (but not Federal) crime. I do not support a ban on assault weapons, it will not work and such a thing is not based on the way those weapons function. of the weapons. Most gun crimes are committed with handguns, not rifles.
I do not support requiring a gun license to purchase a gun
I am against the 2018 March for your life protests. Those protests were anti gun and horrible in every sense of the word. If I knew about them back then, I would have attempted to shut those protests down. David Hogg is an anti gun troll who is exploiting the death of his classmates for fame and he should be punished for that.
Animal rights
I am against Zoophilia and it should stay illegal forever. Science has proven that Zoophilia causes disease and death.
I believe animals should be in circuses but only a few circuses in their lives then retire them to wildlife conservations. I fully support the existence of Wildlife Conservations
There is nothing wrong with riding on Elephants or Camels as long as the person is light and the Elephant or Camel is in top shape and not on them for very long.
I strongly support bull fighting and the Calgary Stampede using live animals
I am strongly against Critical Animal Studies and I want Critical Animal Studies to be rejected and censored from society.
I'm against people hunting animals. I am fine with animals hunting other animals though
I am not against fishing, but I am not a fan of people fishing at all since I feel fishing is murder (though I am fine with people doing catch and release, or mercy killing a fish). The type of fishing outside of those 2 things I am fine with is fishing that was done in the bible and in Israel during biblical times
I am against people hitting pets to discipline them (and even if they do so lightly). People should never hit their pet under any circumstance unless it is in self defense and even then with a focus on de escalation and not hurting their pet.
I am against goose egg addling and I feel that should be illegal
There is something unsettling about dogs, cats etc being sold as property and being forced to mate by pet owners.
Polemic
I am a Dealigned Centrist/Moderate Independent and Social Democrat.
I don't care about the success or failure of any political party.
I support the Labour Party UK (New Labour/Third Way/Friends of Israel/Third Way Social Democracy/current Conservative Party UK type Red Wallism)
Voting/Elections
I never endorse a sitting politician more than once since while they may have good intentions they become establishmentized after being in a politician too long, I like new blood
I am against voter suppression . I want to protect ballot box access. I support bipartisan voting rights legislation and fighting back against efforts to suppress voters.
I believe that limiting voting for people is between not good and pretty bad .I believe that both sides increasing voter turn out is the best way to make voting for more fair (and Republicans need to win over more black voters). I also believe that it would be cool if it became legal to have people vote as many times as they want for a candidate like how Wikipedians vote for Arbcom candidates as many times as they want in Arbcom elections each year. There's no evidence Republican voter laws will work
I don't feel the need to condemn impulsive, not well thought and broken voting laws laws like the ones in Georgia and Texas (major understatement). Those voting laws are clearly not racist or meant to hurt blacks. Any alleged damage done to blacks by those laws is due to ignorance by Republican lawmakers
I believe non strict and non photo id should be required to vote when people go to the polls (like in Colorado) along with obsessively and thoroughly reading and checking the voter rolls
I am neutral on whether strict non photo id should be required for people to vote at the polls.
People should be required by law show id when they register to vote
I support a participatory democracy
I defend democracy in its republican tradition where the common good prevails and not the imposition of particular interests. The majorities should express themselves and decide and the minorities must be respected as such, only in this particular way will participatory democracy enable identities to be constructed in a respectable and tolerant manner. The citizens role is not just the subject of human rights but also of responsibilities within the community
A participatory democracy is good because it revitalizes citizens and thus restores dignity and legitimacy to social and political action . A democracy which is constitutionally republiced capable of guaranteeing universal basic human rights, respect for minorities, and groups who were historicsl,y excluded represented under a transparent ethical outline with instances of direct representation and binding participation. Permanent sovereignty is the basis for the construction of citizenry which exercises this right in all spheres of social life, shooting for the development of a democratic culture through all training and educational and instances; formal and informal.
I am pretty open to the idea of direct democracy over representive democracy (due to keeping out corruption) while also making laws easier for citizens to understand.
I support Referendums
I am between believing that former felons should not vote under most circumstances and that they shouldn't be able to vote unless they prove that they are reformed
Prison inmates should only vote if they are imprisoned within their voting electorate but only if they aren't being in solitary confinement or similar places when voting takes place
I am against DC becoming a state
There's always a chance that the 2020 Presidental election was stolen by the Democrats and Joe Biden. Even if it was Republicans should put the issue behind them and focus on the 2022 and 2024 elections while guaranteeing (within reason) that even the apperance of a stolen election never happens again. I have seen some convincing evidence that it was stolen but not enough to make me form an opinion on whether I believe that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen. For all we know the Republicans were trying to steal the election and the Democrats tried to counter it but went too far and ended up accidently stealing the election themselves. I do know that both sides (more so the Democrats and Joe Biden) used every dirty and underhanded trick to win the election that was short of using technically legal loopholes and that Joe Biden and that the Democrats ‘duped’ (ymmv) many voters into voting for him (hard leftists, Moderate Republcians and Independants).
Barack Obama was born in Hawaii and the US and thus is a legal citizen. However, Obama ,during his Presidency was a snob and Eurocentric which is, unlike birtherism is true. I do blame Obama for not showing his birth certificate sooner since he could have put an end to that birther nonsense much earlier if he had done so. Mentally , Obama seems to have been born on Mars due to all of the negative things he did as President.
Migrants and especially illegal immigrants vote more Democrat than Republican. It would take dumbing myself down not to believe that Democrats aren't aware of this or even that, at the very least it hasn't crossed their mind to take advantage of it. Teaching newly arrived migrants (and illegals) about our political system, our political history the diversity of views politicians have via classes, in addition to teaching them English when they arrive here could help them not be exploited by either party to be their political pawns and make informative decisions when voting, maybe even more so than citizens who were born and raised in the US.
International issues (war/international relations/issues in other countries etc)
Military/Isolationism/Wars in general
I am anti war most of the time but I am anti war for the reasons that Mark Twain was anti war (Lockean love of liberty and anti government)
Since I am defacto anti war/not supportive of wars, I am by default against all countries on Earth going to war/me non supportive of all countries on Earth going to war . For example, after the outbreak of each war I check to see if an extremely rare and overwhelming case for me supporting that war being waged exists and if it doesn't I keep my default anti war/not supportive position on that war. It takes more for me to support a war than for me to not condemn a war. I haven't supported a war since I supported the Iraq War in early 2003 (before changing my mind in March 2003 and being against the Iraq War)
I am very pro Military and very pro Veteran despite being anti war. We shouldn't lower the standards for our military front lines.
If people can't compete on the front lines, they should learn to get tougher to overcome it, not have the standards lowered for them.
I am against Imperialism (though I am morally [moral as in moral victory] tolerant of the US's creation of Liberia since it was at worst one of the least offensive acts of Imperialism)
I am against the Open Sky Treaties
I am neutral on US Isolationism
I am a friendly Non Interventionist
I admit I view at least a few US interventions in other countries being something that is in between being 1980s anti villainish and being a silver lining in showing that the US isn't afraid to do un pc things like intervening in the affairs of other countries even though said acts are still wrong and warmongering.
I do not support Globalism (many unions are against). I much prefer radical localism
I was and still am against the Patriot Act
I do not agree with Sully's view that Donald Trump showed 'utter and vulgar disrespect and contempt' for US troops past and present. Trump treated the US military mostly decent to good as President. The Atlantic's report that Donald Trump had called WWI heroes 'suckers' and 'losers' is FAKE NEWS and NOT TRUE AT ALL. Sully has to admit that Barack Obama was either the same, not much better or worse as President for our military than Donald Trump and that Jesse Ventura's comments about our military is as bad or worse than anything that Donald Trump ever said about them as President.
Israel-Palestine
I am pro Israel (I am Jewish), and I see leftist anti semetism as a silver lining (even though I abhor them for their comments toward us), in that it shows that those left anti semeites are in need of being made to be pro Israel (due to their embarssing statements on us). Once we flip them to being pro Israel, we gain more Pro Israel allies on the much needed left.
I empathize with this view: Israel should consider going back to being as big as it was when it was the Kingdom of Israel united monarchy (the united Kingdom of Israel under David and Solomon in the bible) and allowing Palestanians and displaced groups to live client states within that reborn Kingdom of Israel in areas where there were client states in the Kingdom of Israel united Monarchy in the bible.Moreover in this Kingdom of Israel , there would be a fusion of something between Far center Nationalism and Left Wing Nationalism with Imperalism
I am somewhere between the most pro Palestinian that Chuck Schumer is on the Israel-Palestine conflict and mixed to conditionally firmly Pro Israel on the Israel-Palestinian conflict I have no problem with the Embassy being moved to Jerusalem, though I prefer it gets moved to Shiloh instead but via a Donald Trump type 'let's make a deal' so Palestinians get something for giving up Shiloh to the Jews.
I support the Canaanism movement of the late 1930s and 1940s. If the Canaanism movement came back and tried to claim Israel/Palestine areas etc, I would fully support those modern day Canaanites over the Israelis and Palestinians and I would root for the Canaanites in that situation like pro Palestinian people root for the Palestinians and Zionists root for the Israelis (but I would prefer post war violence type methods that are no less harsh despite being non violent.
I favor a two state solution in Israel/Palestine that benefits both Israel and Palestinians equally
I do view the Palestinians as Pitiful Hero Antagonists or maybe even more. I feel this way when I see brutaility done on innocent Palestinians and when I see the Palestinians fight back.
I firmly believe that Rashida Tlaib should not have given in to far left anti Israel bullies and she should have went to Israel/Palestine as she planned
China/Russia
The 2022 Winter Olympics being played on schedule while the 2020 Summer Olympics weren't played on schedule seems hypocritical. I am against boycottting sporting events and I would not have encouraged anyone to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics but at the same time I am fine with people boycotting the 2022 Winter Olympics.
We have to stop China from negatively influencing our media and academic institutions
China is very wrong for their 1 2 3 child policies, for employing Communism, and for being anti Christian. Moreover they are wrong for propping up Mao Zedong who was a fascist and a dictator (dictator of the proclyte at best) who commited senseless murders on innocent victims. He gets a D---- grade at BEST and mostly because of what he did at the start of his run as leader of China. I am also against China's social credit system.
I am apolitical on China's pandemic laws etc.
I am apolitical-syncretic on high tariffs against China
I condemn China for getting involved in the US 2020 racial unrest situations. I also strongly condemn China for trying to make our children in this country woke through cultural marxist propaganda
Whether China did genocide to Uyghurs or not is moot, China still committed human rights violations against them, did indefensible acts against them and thus they are very wrong to treat the Uyghurs the way they did. But if people want to call it a genocide, no skin off my teeth.
If China didn't want the Uyghurs living in China, China could have given the areas where the Uyghurs were living to countries like Kyrgyzstan ,Kazakhstan and Mongolia or make the areas where the Uyghurs were living an Independent country. Then China could have built borders around China and that area.
China using forced labor is wrong. Just because American companies do it doesn't mean China should too. 2 wrongs don't make a right. China should pay their laborers fairly.
Instead of using forced labor, China should use Pronoia for all of their laborers that do work that forced laborers currently do (and they should pay those laborers like workers under Pronoia were paid)
I believe sanctioning China for the Uyghur situation or any reason is wrong, but I won't complain if China is sanctioned. I trust China will continue to get better as a country like they always have but I am concerned over some of the things I heard about them. I do believe that pushing China in that direction of getting better is a must.
I want Hong Kong to be an Autonomous Republic of China (like Crimea is or was to Ukraine).
I support Taiwan being Independant but being a Satellite (client) state of China like the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War were Satellite (client) states to the USSR
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. I do not want a Nuclear war. Nancy Reagan said this view is a Nuclear Abolitionist view
The Soviet Union was State Socialist or Socialist from the 1920s to 1991 and anyone who says otherwise is a conspiracy theorist who is trying to rewrite history to shield Socialism from the atrocities committed in the Soviet Union.
Arthur Rosenberg and Ethel Rosenberg were TRAITORS and they should have spent many decades in prison for their treason instead of being executed. They were traitors to the US and the world, their treason cost millions of Americans their lives fighting in Korea. They sold the US out and they are 2 of the biggest disgraces in the history of the US.
While I don't support Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I am not going to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine either .It's not America's problem. Let's stop all of this US interventionalism and let other countries handle their own problems
The US and Europe should try to de escalate the Russia-Ukraine crisis instead of inflaming it
I was and I am still against Ukraine joining NATO
I support Crimea having self determination
Ukraine deserves criticism for not developing Donbas and leaving it open to Russia and other forces
I am against the Maidan Coup which was an illegal act which removed a legit elected head of state
I oscillate between me being wanting the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to be as part of and to Ukraine as Native American reservations in the United States are as part of and to the United States, me wanting the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to become an autonomous dependant territory of Ukraine (like Puerto Rico and the North Mariana Islands are autonomous dependant territories of the US) instead of being Independant or a province of Ukraine or being part of Russia and me having a fifth political position on that issue. In any case, The People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk (if its controlled by Ukraine) should have a relationship with Russia that is between the relationship those areas had as part of Ukraine with Russia under Viktor Yanukovych and the relationship that the United States has with Britain since the US since the late 18th century..
The US should not have sanctioned Russia. However, if the US secretly sanctioned Russia like the US using the same secreacy they used in the 1980s when they secretly shipped weapons to Iran during the Iran Contra scandal, I would be pretty open to supporting that or even being able to live with those secret sanctions against Russia but its none of our business, lets focus on the US. Let them deal with their own issues
I am fully against companies (like Big Tech) suspending their products and services to Russia. Russian citizens are being wrongly and punitively penalized because of their government. I call for a full boycott of every company who engages in these acts They never did this to Muslims in countries where ISIS or Al Qaeda are from, yet they do it with Russia? Hypocrite much. History will condemn Google, Microsoft, Sony for their actions with Russia. It goes against human decency, will only make Russians hate those companies and won't do anything. Hurting innocent people through refusing them service to force them to have the view you want is fascist and evil
I hope the US and European sanctions and some penalties against Russia stay forever. Not because of the war in Ukraine but because it would be hypocritical to make such sanctions and some such penalties against them and then end those sanctions and some of those penalties at a later time and pretend everything is normal. I don't agree with the sanctions and penalties but since they are made most of them should stick.
I am 100 percent against the US sending troops to go to war with Russia under any circumstance barring a direct hit from Russia on our soil. I am 100 percent against the US using a no fly zone against Russia
I believe that the we should hack the bank accounts of Russian Olyriachs and force them to be bankrupt for the rest of their lives. Not because of Russia's war with Ukraine and not for any political reason but simply because they are too rich and nobody should have that much money. If we can force them into bankruptcy we can have a slow trickle effect which leads to less wealth hoarding by filthy rich trolls. No more yachts for them ,no more vacations for them, force them to live like the rest of us. They are easy and acceptable targets
It is hypocritical and wrong to ban innocent Russians from entering other countries .Liberals cried over a Muslim travel ban by Donald Trump during the reign of ISIS yet they applaud this? Hypocrite much. I believe banning innocent Russians from going to other countries because of Russia going to war with Ukraine is wrong, senseless and fascist and is just as bad as Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban in 2017. I hope all Russians permanelty boycott the US and all countries that banned flights to and from Russia.
Some Russians have been unfairly fired due to their place of origin by fascist Russophobes. Their firings are a violation of Employement Acts ,since they were singled out due to their place of origin. These Russians being unfairly fired is akin to McCarthysim or what the US did to Japanese Americans right after Pearl Harbor. Freedom of speech means telling people what they don't want to hear. We must end extreme cancel culture and modern day McCarthyism
I am against Anna Nebretko getting fired by the Metropolitian Opera House. There was no reason to fire her and Peter Gelb should be fired on the spot for what he did.
I am against the Bolshoi Ballet being fired. They did nothing wrong and they were unfairly fired for no reason.
The Steele Dosier was false
Middle East/North Africa/Central Asia
Muslim world in general
Islam is no better or worse than any other religion (However, Judeo Chrisitanity which according to God is the only way to Christ and Eternal Salvation though Islam does share a Abrahamaniac link to Judeo Christianity)
Muslims should convert to Christianity but who knows , maybe there is a chance if Muslims stay true to Islam, God will allow them to go to heaven in the same way he may allows Jewish people who stay true to Judaism to go to heaven
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 unfairly which is wrong. People should avoid criticizing things in Islam that they don't understand because if they don't avoid doing that, they'll look ignorant .People should only criticize Islam in a genuine, constructive way that is free of malice.
I am a huge fan of Quilliam. Quilliam echoes some of my view on Islam and Muslims
I believe people should criticize Islam and every religion since no religion should be off limits.
I am against France and other countries banning Muslim women from wearing Burkinis and Burqas. There is nothing wrong with Muslim wearing Burkinis or Burqas. I support Muslim women wearing Burkinis and Burqas. France and other countries are trying to control what Muslim women wear while allegedly trying to stop Muslim women from being 'forced' to wear Burkinis and Burqas. In fact it is a myth . Muslim women are NOT forced to wear Burqas and Burkinis. They wear those things voluntarily and out of love for their religion
To play begruding Devil's Advocate I do understand why there are anti Muslim clothing laws. Because Europe allows in so many refugees and migrants from the Middle East or elsewhere, that makes them create those draconian laws so Muslims can assimilate into their countries and not cause issues. Those laws to them also helps make liberals, conservatives and feminist Muslims happy and united while allowing Muslims to live in Europe without being deported and denied entry. But the counter to this is, making believe the anti Islam law makers in Europe are right on their laws, it's only a bandaid and not a solution. To truly fix this, either ditch those anti Muslim dress laws and treat Muslims like the US treats migrants under non Xenophobic Presidents (respect their freedoms, let them assimilate naturally etc) or find ways to tighten migration to Europe and increase deporations.
I respect religious clothing customs
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 was and still am against Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban
I am against the Netherland's Islampahobia and racism toward Arabs. The Dutch to need to stop their bigoted acts
I support Left Wing Manosphere in Muslim countries
I have been pro Muslims since 9/11. I am appalled that Muslims were and are stereotyped and labeled as terrorists since 9/11 (especially right after 9/11 and in the age of ISIS). The vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists and only a fringe part of some sects of Islam are terrorists. I do think that Muslims should try to counter Islamaphobia in a peaceful, educational and edifying sort of way instead of lowering themselves to the Islamaphobes level. Parents and some Trump supporters have been similarly smeared by our government as terrorists which is similarly wrong.
I don't believe the October 31 2018 truck attack in NYC or the Swedish truck attack in 2017 were terrorist attacks or Islamic extremism. I am not even that sure that the 2016 Nice lorre attacks were terrorism or Islamic extremism (or at least I am not that sure if terrorism/Islamic extremism was the primary motive of the attacks). Saying that every time a Muslim commits mass murder is terrorism or Islamic extremism is bigoted, ignorant, naive and offensive. However, on the flip side, a few attacks by Muslims that are not labele as terrorism/Islamic extremism are technically terrorism or Islamic extremism (the Fort Hood shooting for example). But there are noticeably many more times Muslims committing crimes are falsely accused of terrorism/Islamic extremism than there are times when Muslims do commit terrorist or Islamic extremist attacks and said attacks are not labeled as terrorism/Islamic extremism. Moreover a lot of Muslims who commit murders whether they are labeled as terrorism are not, are really Atheists and not really Muslim.
Christians who are killed in the Middle East by ISIS should always be labeled as Christians instead of worshippers by the media and politicians.
Iran/Syria/Libya/Iraq/Afghanistan
Donald Trump did nothing wrong by his targeted killing of Qasem Soleimani. Ideally it would have been better if he captured Soleimani and put him in prison for at least a few decades, but he is a terrorist. I am not enthused about the killing however and it is the reason why I hate war and countries being big brother to other countries but it was neccessary.
I fully support Donald Trump withdrawing the US from Syria in 2019 as that was the right move to make
I was and still am against the Libya War (the one under Barack Obama)
I was and still am against the Iraq War (I was for it until late March 2003 then I became permanently against it).
Instead of going to war with Iraq , I believe the US should have instead risen up American domestic groups from within the US to be violent non-state actors for the US in Iraq and to carry out operations for the US in Iraq .Basically these violent non-state actors of the US would do what George W Bush wanted to be done in Iraq independent of our military and without our military getting involved in the operations. This would be similar to how the Hezbollah in Lebanon and the LTTE in Sri Lanka were risen up by countries to be violent non-state actors for them despite Hezbollah and LTTE not being official military units of said countries
I am also mixed to against on repealing the 2002 Iraq War resolution
I support the Iraq War troop surge by George W Bush in 2007. It was a smart strategy and helped turn the war around for us.
Chris Kyle was a war hero and his movie was not offensive at all
I more than supported the UN sanctions against Iraq in the 1990s and I firmly don't regret supporting those sanctions at all. I believe its good that the UN sanctioned Iraq in the 1990s since Iraq really deserved those sanctions.
The Gulf War was justifable (which doesn't necessarily mean I suppor(ed) it)
I supported the Afghanistan War but we should have pulled out of Afghanistan in 2009 or in 2012
I am against the way that Joe Biden handled Afghanistan including his botched withdrawal of our troops in Afghanistan
Asia conflict issues
I do not condemn the 2021 coup de tat in Myanmar ,its none of my business
I support the way that Donald Trump handled North Korea
I would have been against the Vietnam War after initially supporting it until c 1967 if I was around back then and I've been against that war my whole life (though I am against some far left parts of the anti war movement and against the hate that the veterans got from anti war people)
The Swift Boat veterans may have been at least somewhat correct in their attacks on John Kerry
I
Europe
I am against France’s fuel hikes . I support the Yellow Vest movement
Americas issues
I support sanctions as opposed to embargo against Cuba but a specific type that is viewed good on both sides (but mostly on the neocon side). I support the Cuban 2021 protesters
I do not fault for America, Australia and the UK for their anti German sentiment during World War I (though I wouldn't have been like that if I was alive back then). I feel it would have been better if Americans, Australians and UK were anti German during World War I in the same exact way that Americans and Western Europe is anti Russian during Russia's war with Ukraine (instead of the way they were in the 1910s) . But we can't apply today's standards to people over 100 years ago. Moreover, seeing what Germany would do in the 1930s and 1940s, it's cements my decision not to fault Americans, Australians and British people for such anti German sentiment in the 1910s
On the Spanish -American War, I
The Old South using slavery was wrong, not just for moral reasons (which is the main reason its wrong for every society) but also for economic reasons as they instead should have embraced a hypothetical socio-fiscal system that can be labeled interchangeably as State Capitalism, Bureaucratic Collectivism, State Socialism and a unique Mode of Production. along with the Industrial revolution decades earlier as opposed to using slavery and Agrarianism.
Since the Old South and its slavery-Agrarianism model was far inferior from a economic (and moral) standpoint to non slavery/paid labor- hypothetical socio-fiscal system that can be labeled interchangeably as State Capitalism, Bureaucratic Collectivism, State Socialism and a unique Mode of Production. and the Industrial Revolution model, the Old South should have ditched slavery (giving equal rights to everyone), rebuilt their infrastructure to support these changes and used machines for some jobs as the North was doing at that time. If the Old South had done this in the 1830s, 1840s, 1850s or even late as the early 1860s, they would have been equal to if not better than the Northern US in terms of economy, culture, quality of life and infrastructure. Moreover, there would have been no Civil War and thus no destruction of their region via war or reconstruction corruption and the South would be far better today than it is now.
I somewhat agree with this article
Xitianity/Christians
Xtianity
Well it certainly wouldn't hurt to live by (or at least pretend to try to live by) the Two Commandments of Matthew-22-34-40
Jesus was white, Mary was white and we should not get rid any images, statues, paintings, art etc of a white Jesus, a white Mary or white biblical people.
I want the Tridentine Mass (1962 Roman Missal) to continue to be celebrated just like it has been celebrated for the last 15 years. I support Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum
Even though I have no issues with the current Catholic mass set ups, I'd be open to the idea of the Tridentine Mass (1962 Roman Missal) being the ordinary form and the Tridentine Mass (1955-1961 form of the liturgy or 1940s-1950 form of the liturgy ) being the Extraordinary form. I support Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum
High ranking Jewish authorities (ie Sadducees and Pharisees) conspired with non Jewish leaders to put Jesus to death. They were jealous of Jesus, and saw him as a threat (Jesus constantly called out the Sadducees and Pharisees for their hypocrisy and evil ways during his ministry).
An unruly mob of people (the vast vast majority of whom were Jewish), in Jerusalem called out for the Romans to crucify and kill Jesus. In Matthew 27:25, Pontius Pilate washed his hands of Jesus's blood and those mob of people (the vast vast majority of whom were Jewish) who had called for Jesus to be crucified, told Pilate "His blood be on us and our children! In the Gospel of John (John 5:18, John 7:1, John 8:37) John shows that Jews wanting to kill Jesus throughout his ministry . Paul, who was himself a Jew, wrote similar things about Jews relationship with Jesus. Paul persuected Christians when he was still Jewish (1 Thess 2:14-15, Phil 3:5-6)
It doesn't matter because Jesus's death was predestined by God as a plan to save humanity. If Jesus wasn't crucified and killed, no Christians would be saved so the Jewish peoples' role in Jesus death saved humanity, because if he didn't get crucifed and killed, none of us would be able to have eternal life. Jesus gave his life willingly as a sacrifice for sin (Mark 10:45, John 18:11). It was Christians' sins that was the most directly responsible for the death of Jesus (Romans 5:8-9, 1 Timothy 1:15) Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later anyway and rose to heaven on his own free will.
I used to go the Knights of Columbus as a child and teenager a few times a year. The Knights of Columbus is a great organization.
A lot of issues in our country can be fixed by Christians helping out more in their communities to fix such issues
Science
Science and Pyschology are not infallibe and they are wrong some of the time (they are HUMANS not Gods). Scientists and shrinks are wrong to not believe in Reincarnation, afterlife, multiverse,, at LEAST Deistic Evolution . Moreover they are wrong to support the CRT, hard drug decriminalization or ecspecially legalization,
Climate/eco
I am against the government and social media companies censoring and blocking people who criticize green energy transition. Such actions by the government and social media companies is FASCIST authoritarian censorship and is against the values that our country was founded on. That is shutting down free speech by stifling legit criticism of the government and I will not allow the government to do that. I swear to god
Enviromental Racism is a myth. There is no such thing as enviormental racism.
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.
.I
I reject Deep Adaption and Jem Bernall's Deep Adaption. Deep Adaption climate predictions and Jem Bernall's climate predictions are too Exaggerative and unfounded
I don't believe that people who don't believe in Climate Change should be labeled as Climate Change deniers or harassed or shamed for their beliefs (and certainly not labeled divisive names like 'Climate Change deniers'). In a few hundred or thousand years, the future history will judge whether they were right or wrong.
We should follow the bible and be stewards for Earth ,reguardless if there is Climate Change or no Climate Change
I also have some sixth political position views about climate change that don't fit into any sort of political ideology on Climate Change checkbox (due to those views being unique and outside the box).
I also believe Climate Change has positive effects and may be a good thing: Warmer winters and thus fewer winter deaths, lower energy costs, better agricultural yields, fewer droughts, maybe richer biodiversity see this for more https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/are-there-positive-benefits-global-warming
I am against plastic bag bans, paper straw bans. I am against the Nord Steam pipeline being built.
I
I support increased logging on federal lands
I believe we need to significantly lower the prevalence of environmental pollutants
Space
I support sending humans into space which is why I hope NASA brings the Space Shuttle program back. I hope one day space travel becomes as common as airline travel.
Biology/Chemistry/Physics
I believe in Evolutionary Creationism. I also believe that in other dimensions something between Creationism and Progressive Creationism is real
I believe there are two ,equally valid sides to the view that Joe Scarborough had in 2005 on Thiomersal
I don't view the pandemic as a political issue, but just so I can go on the record about it :
I am apolitical to mixed on pandemic politics in general
Sara Haines is wrong, I don't believe that face covering wearing or living like people lived during the pandemic should be a permanent thing in the US. People who disagree have some sort of fetish. However I strongly empathize with her view, and in reality it means a 2 to me (0 being not care ,10 being care the most)
I am between being more than pitifully , cautiously somewhat supportive of Dr Oz's reaction to his wife not allowing their kids to be vaxxed years ago/Dr Oz’s views on the pandemic and me condoning (but not necessarily agreeing with) Gene Simmons saying that non vaxxed are the enemy
Since early Februrary 2022 I believe (and want) that Nancy Pelosi's face covering mandate for the House of Reps should (and to) be stopped and no one in the house of reps should be requried to cover their faces
I fully support Mike Braun's amendment to the Prevent Pandemics Act.
I view Chile’s Broad Front pandemic policy platform and laws since early 2020 as mid 1990s to mid 2000s (decade) Anti Heroish and I feel a country like Chile deserves those type of pandemic policies and laws
I believe a case can be made that we should have dealt with the Pandemic like we did in in 1968 dealing with the HK Influenza flu: http://web.archive.org/web/20201029031416/https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2020/04/28/how-different-we-treated-the-hong-kong-flu-pandemic-of-1968-n135718
I begrudingly am tolerant of Joe Rogan in the whole Spotify ordeal and I have no major issues with him having those particular doctors on his show in those 2 situations. Rogan also surprsingly had a plausible defense.
I support the Canadian trucker protest and I am against Justin Trudeau using the emergency act on protestors. I am also against his government going after bank accounts of protestors and supporters and similar underhanded things.There is no proof the truckers were bigoted and he was wrong to say they were However, I don't believe he is a dictator, but his actions do make me believe he is almost in the realm of being Authoartarian procate or extremely overboard
RUSSIA DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CANADIAN TRUCKER PROTEST AND ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE IS A DERANGED FOOL
I very much believe in Reincarnation and most scientists at least secretly believe it could be real
There is an afterlife after people die and most scientists agree or say they don't know
Psychology
Psycho Analysis is a real and legit science and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
People should not be given paid time off for non Federal holidays or for vacations that are outside of the job's region (vacations should be given only for FLMA)
Etc
Misc
I sort of get what Donald Trump was trying to do with his Garden of American Heroes idea and I don't like writing what I am about to write, but as a concerned citizen I must. I am strongly against The National Garden of American Heroes being created. The federal government (including our Presidents) should not tell us who our historical heroes should be and should not force these names upon us. Who decides who is great? What right does our government have to do such things? It's bad enough there is a Library of congress which houses films that the government tells us we should like and the medal of honors, which is sketchy and blurs the line between tolerable and being as ignorant and totalitarian as The Garden of American Heroes idea is just overkill, unneeded, politically pointy and anti democratic.
The LA Times was wrong to tell people to stop consuming so much to stop the supply chain problems Limiting consumption is the worst way to fix those problems.
The Washington Post opinion piece dont-rant-about-short-staffed-stores-supply-chain-woes-try-lower-expectations/ article is wrong , divisive, ignorant and they should apologize for it
I
I support removing red light cameras. Less spying on citizens by the gov the better
I am a neo luddite in at least some cases
I want video games to be as hard now as they were in the 1980s and 1990s (ie cheap level design, not telling the player where to go, unfair gameplay etc, ie Nintendo Hard). This teaches players how to overcome obstacles ,rewards players who keep going and instills values.
I
Media
The media is wrong to exploit pain and suffering through their news story explor
News story explotation is an issue and is something that needs to be fixed. There is no reason that non war related rescue stories, missing persons stories and kidnapppings and similar non stories should be anything more than local or regional stories. People should worry about their own lives and not think about the above stories.
The news also covers non hate crime mass shootings, some terrorist attacks (like the 2018 NYC road rage attack or the 2017 Sweden beer truck rage attack) way way way too much. By exploiting those stories, those stories traumaitize people (via repitition), makes people hate Muslims or gun owners and similar groups due to said explotiation, give the perps who commit those crimes the exposure they want which leads to copy cat crimes (see VT killer's motive for example). It's like news stations and agencies profit over the pain and suffering of other people, ecspecially by exploiting them and that is wrong. People who rubberneck off those stories are also wrong for taking part in their suffering by them further exploiting their pain and suffering all to make viewers feel good about themselves for virtue signaling about it.
24 hours news, their viewers (ie social media), internet etc fan the above pain and further political divide that come out of those tragedies.
see CNN effect for more
Missing persons stories, kidnapping stories, non war related rescue stories and similar non stories should stay local or regional and not be national. There is no reason people from outside those regions should know about those stories. By the national media covering those type of non stories, they are degrading the importance of real stories like terrorist attacks, wars, viruses etc.
Network is a great satire of the issues with our media today with its relevant point that it makes about corporate run, sensationalist media and their impact on society which still holds true.today, if not more so.
Words are like weapons, satellites of news stations etc are like the new artillery. News today like Fox News, MSNBC, CNN and TV political pundits increasingly polarize us with their news judgements (which includes fake news and disinformation) . This includes electronic warfare in the same vain. Our media who influences us in politics is owned by large congolomerates who seek to profit over dividing us. Tomorrow Never Dies makes a good point about this (along with China's wolf warrior diplomacy with Western companies)
Our issue is our whole celebrity culture and fandom culture (which includes the overreaction, rubber necking and explotation of every celebrities death via social media) .
This culture breeds obsessed people to seek out their 15 minutes of fame with their celebrity that they idolize. In particular, with social media and the internet many of the biggest fans are happily called 'Stans' for their favorite idols. Social media allows them to 'keep track' of their favorite idols 24/7/365 which includes easier interaction with them. Moreover, Youtube and Twitter fuels explotation of people who wouldn't be famous if not for Youtube and Twitter
If I sound too conservative on some issues, its somewhat because being far right is counter cultural and its more fun to be counter cultural (albeit only on a few issues) than being cultural (see Hippies in 1960s for more).
