63daddy · 2023-12-12T22:40:49+00:00

Egalitarian, independent, somewhat centrist. I’m kind of a libertarian philosophically, but most libertarian politicians in reality are a bit too anarchist for me. I tend to disagree with both extremes but I find more of my formally moderate liberal friends have become more progressive, buying into identity politics including the idea women should be advantaged over men, which I strongly disagree with. So, from their perspective I’m more conservative despite the fact my core political beliefs haven’t really changed while theirs have.

A core belief I have is non discrimination. As more liberals embrace discriminatory identity politics positions, I become more conservative in comparison.

Tank-o-grad · 2023-12-12T22:35:36+00:00

Homeless in terms of party politics.

Ideologically, probably left of centre classical liberal. The continuation of life should not be a struggle for anyone, food, shelter, health care, security both domestically as well as nationally should be available to those who need it provided by the state without bias or judgement. Vices should be legalised, regulated and taxed, prohibitions never work they just drive the whole thing underground and make it more dangerous for everyone. Regulation is required where short term self interests run contrary to long term societal interests because of basic human nature. The state should leave as much alone as possible while ensuring this and should see all as being equal before it, the individual's rights only ending where they impinge upon the rights of another (your freedom to swing your arms ends at the tip of your neighbour's nose).

The coming AI and automation revolutions are going to restructure our economies and our societies and we need to truly think about how we deal with that without ending up in a corporatist hellscape, this will likely mean a bigger welfare state and government to ensure that whoever is first to create the general purpose AI or automatons won't end up with everything while the rest starve. Such an expansion of the apparatus of the state must be carefully monitored by the populous to ensure that it does not lead to authoritarianism however.

Conservative, religious, I believe firmly in the traditional family with few comprises due to the modern economy.

I am Balkan ☦️

Sadly one of my two mother countries, Greece, has been infested by a crime and poverty wave, along with an illegal immigration wave. In this case, I lean further right instead of central right when it comes to dealing with criminals and overall imbeciles.

I am very open to technological advancements unlike some conservatives tho, and I don't have any problem with other religions around me as long as they respect our orthodox countries, because when I visit a muslim country, I respect all rules and norms guided by their islamic societies, so I demand the same respect back in my home country, same goes for hindu or budhist countries.

So center right, with a somewhat far right stance of the punishment of violent crime.

MathDude95 · 2023-12-13T02:43:58+00:00

Conservative-leaning Libertarian. I believe in having a free market, fewer taxes, a smaller central government, more firearms in the hands of citizens, and lowering debt. I also believe in women having rights over their bodies, making education more accessible, and equal protection of the rights of minorities and those in the LGBTQ+ community.

I'm also a bi atheist, so most of the republican party hates my existence, the reason I'm not 100% republican.

TheDwiin · 2023-12-13T02:28:09+00:00

I have to correct one thing. Democrats are on the right when you compare them to the rest of the world.

I would politically align myself with most European countries' labor parties.

I want stronger codefied workers rights, like mandatory PTO, mandatory holiday pay if you don't work, and double pay on holidays if you do work, both Maternity and Paternity leave, enforced on call pay, actual pensions, and honestly I want to remove health insurance from employers so I no longer need to stick to my dead end job just because it has better health insurance than whatever else is available, and minimum wage being an actual living wage, adjusted regularly based on the county's cost of living at minimum every 3 years.

nathanv70 · 2023-12-12T23:20:24+00:00

The more I learn, the further right I go. I live in America and I love to learn but damn man politics is a nasty business. For the life of me, I’m starting to think we done fucked up.

I no longer honestly believe anyone should vote unless they have a solid and provable stake in the community such as owning property or running a successful business. OR have served in the military or first responder, etc.

As being in public office is a service job, they should only make the median income for that state and no more.

No politician can invest in stocks outside of a basic 401k or Roth during office and five years after.

I think those who commit murder and/or abuse children should be quickly put up on a noose or worse.

False accusers should ALWAYS suffer the full consequences of what they accused the other person of.

Anyone who voted for war has to go fight in it regardless of age.

People who convicted multiple times of theft (3 or more) should get fingers removed after conviction number 3.

Property tax should be abolished five years past paying off your home (only one primary residence).

Inheritance/death taxes need to be removed.

Minimum wage should be abolished.

Center but leaning right.

I do not have much with faith or all that.

But I do think left-leaning people making rules on feelings is at a determined of society.

I think rules should not be based on skin/gender.

So rules should mean universally the same for everyone.

And have respect and protection and also punishment for breaking set rules be the same all around.

And the i feel i feel so my point is valid argument is stupid and pointless. Cause there are always 2 sides of people that have feelings about the same argument. So your feelings dont stomp out someone else's feelings.

Beside that. I dont care what people do. If your gay. Your trans. You feel like you wanna marry a buss. What ever weird thing you wanna do in your own live or world it does not matter to me one bit.

Just don't make your worldviews be pushed on me.

So you can be trans feel or do what ever you want. But you cant expect boys or girls. Being okay with being naked in locker rooms with biological other sex people.

So you can think feel do whatever you want but you can't force your view on others

Cause there are many different points of views on everything. From faith. From culture. From background.

To keep a multi-cultural society going. You have to accept that people have the right to do what ever they want. But cant cater to any one-off them over an other.

But that's my political and moral standpoint.

Do whatever you want just don't bother other people with your views or beliefs. Cause everyone should have the same right and respect of their own beliefs and views as you.

As long as it does not break set universal rules

Twinkidsgoback · 2023-12-13T09:04:08+00:00

Pro-animal rights, we should respect their rights and not murder them. Murdering them for food, keeping them in cages or even stealing their property (e.g their honey) is morally wrong.

I believe that individuals should be free to choose the political system they are under, without having to change countries or leave their own homes. If someone lives in Spain but wants to be governed by Trump, they should be able to. In this case, Trump's government is going to be the one providing them services and they are going to be under his jurisdiction.

There should be more competition between governments and the choice of governance should be voluntary. There is no one size for all, after all.

Drakin5 · 2023-12-13T00:54:43+00:00

I'm more likely independent with conservatism but I could be wrong on my label.

All forms of direct taxation should cease and desist.
Welfare and subsidies are forced Ponzi schemes. Not everyone can pay for it.
Fiat system is a failure time immemorial, and governments refuse to budget their books.
Gun/weapon rights for everyone.
Death penalty should be reinstated. There's way too many instances of glorifying murderers, abusers, and predators.
Jury nullification should be openly advised in case of misapplication and/or manipulation of the law.
Abolish conscription.
Circumcision is pseudoscience and should be abolished as well.

Thats all I could think of right now.

elebrin · 2023-12-13T01:42:25+00:00

I’m a pragmatist, and I dislike it when rules are a moving target.

That makes me somewhat conservative, I’d say. I focus more on taking care of my people: my wife, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and some close friends. If they have their three squares and a warm bed then I’m satisfied.

I don’t vote. Fuck the political circus. I got more important things to do than pay attention to that beyond a bit of a laugh.

And by real-far-left I mean in vexillology terms the flag of the Soviet Union had the hammer and sickle on it. In fact it is the only country flag in human history venerating the workers, the labourer and not some made up God!

Unfortunately the fake-left has failed and the rewards for the proletariat's blood sweat and tears is given in social programs to those who don't work!

Yes I am a unionist and I believe the worker should be fairly compensated for his labour and today that is not the case.

It's from each according to his capacity, to each according to their needs. I'm glad they got the second part down (to each according to their needs), but only when they finally fix the "From each according to their ability part" will communism work.

And the feminists in power don't want to hear that, so it's never gonna work.

They almost had it with the flag of the USSR, but Lenin was an idiot!

Labor unions are good. Landlords are bad. The ownership class are parasites that need to be purged for the good of society, and their blood should water the garden of humanity. There is no god. Religion is the disease that will kill humanity. Republicans are the greatest threat to humanity since the invention of the nuclear bomb.

I don't know. I think im left leaning but I'd be called a far-right bigot by BBC, CNN, MSNBC, UNWomen etc.. I'm not against supports for women or trans, gay, black etc. I just know there are male issues not being represented and being sneered at by the left. Their ideology is deceptive and these feminists/leftists are far too common for it to be just a fringe.

Economically/Socially again I believe in welfare, grants, stipends for underrepresented groups but again the hypocrisy of female-only scholarships from government funding in academia when women are ahead in academia is a joke; but also in the business world is a disgrace (depending on where it is and which women). Middle class white women have all the familial connection of middle class white men but they get extra millions in tax to prop themselves up. They are not a minority, it's a jump to the front of the line. Even men at the bottom are not really helped the business world because man = bad.

I don't knw where that fits but it's just seeing bullshit/hypocrisy/lying/pampering etc isn't really a political state of mind.

I was an Opportunity Democrat (left of center), but now I am firmly on the right. Not to the far right, because I still hate Trump and am neutral on abortion, but I'm definitely not longer socially or fiscally liberal.

Broadly a Social Democrat, healthcare is obviously a human right (like it is in normal countries) anti-populist, pro-parliamentary system, anti-presidential system, monarchy is acceptable as long as it is merely a historical tradition and has no role in politics. Outside influence both from the United States and China is a threat, business should be heavily regulated and nobody has the right to a murder weapon.

Right leaning

Not American so none of these.

But I’m centre to centre left and by that I mean real centre left not the American version which is actually centre right.

Do Americans understand that republican, Democrat, liberal etc may mean something completely different elsewhere? I'm republican. As in want a republic, not a kingdom.
