Q4RP, what are your political views?

Barneysparky · 2019-06-03T17:19:28+00:00

For the record, I'm a Libertarian of the Booker T Washington view on racism and discrimination. I'm also Nigerian-American and INFJ so most of my views are unique to most people.

*******

> gun control
I support constitutional carry. I also think everyone who is an American citizen should be able to own a gun, I don't care what their record is. I don't even care if they went to prison for a violent crime or have a history of mental illness. American? You have the right to a gun.

> abortion
I'd get an abortion whether it was legal or not. i don't care what the law would be. I'm really vain. I think states should have the authority to make laws most fitting for its citizens so if the majority of the state is anti-abortion, its laws should reflect that. People can vote with their feet.

> immigration
Countries that are the most culturally adaptable to the West or all previously English colonies. I'm Nigerian and Nigerians do pretty well. Same for Indians, Islanders, etc. So Im biased. They should also mandate the ability to speak English in government spaces. Idk how I feel about national immigration quotas, and any country we have bad blood with or have been at war with in the last 40 years should not be able to have its citizens come to the US.

EDIT: I'd be 100% for open borders upon the complete abandonment of our entire modern welfare system. It would be 1870 all over again.

> Equality
I'm of the live and let live philosophy. I am anti-Jim Crow laws or those of similar sort but I think private businesses should have a right to discriminate based on whatever they find necessary. I think the government should recognize LEGAL marriages of anyone so long as those participating are legal age and consenting. Beyond that, this is a really broad term. You can't legislate true equality or inclusion.

> Vaccination
Its a public health issue. You don't have to vaccinate but I think the govt should bar them from public spaces.

> Taxes
I'm against the federal income tax. National 1-3% sales tax on all consumption and leave me the fuck alone.

> Medicare
Medicare for all or nothing. We can't go back to the previous ACA system sadly. I'd also like a minute clinic on every block.

CainPrice · 2019-06-03T17:40:58+00:00

Conservative with regard to economics and foreign policy. Socially liberal when it comes to people having the right to do stuff. Socially conservative when it comes to issues that involve taxing me heavily and funding programs that help people who are not me.

Guns: People should be able to purchase whatever property they want to. Killing people is against the law. Owning property is not. Rules against property ownership are unamerican.

Abortion: I'm pro-choice but strongly anti-abortion. This is a philosophically gray issue. I'll never be a pregnant woman, but if I were, I would never have an abortion. I think less of women who have. And if any woman I was with had an abortion I'd dump her ass. But's not my place to tell someone else what she can or can't do for my own moral reasons. It's not 51% of the population's place to tell the other 49%. And it sure as hell isn't the government's place to legislate morality.

Immigration: I am all for legal immigration and 1000% against illegal immigration. Borders are what make a nation a nation. Every nation has a right to sovereignty and to decide who it lets in and under what conditions. No nation is obligated to let in anybody, and any nation can decide whatever set of rules it wants regarding its own immigration policy. If you think U.S. immigration laws are terrible and bigoted, try sneaking across Mexico's southern border into the country from one of the neighboring poorer Central American nations and see what they do to you. Mexican jails are pretty terrible. Every country has immigration laws, but nobody cares except when it's a first-world country that has laws preventing third-world immigrants from just sauntering in.

Equality: Every citizen is entitled to equal protection under the law. This is pretty much the foundation of America.

Vaccination: Nobody should be required to have any medical procedure they don't want to have. Nobody should get any medical procedure for free, either.

Taxes: The government's job is to keep the borders safe via military means, keep the roads paved, and keep the mail moving around. Not to tax people into oblivion to fund social programs that benefit other people. Taxes should be lower, and they should be equal for everybody. A flat amount, like 10% or something, for absolutely everybody, and for absolutely every source of income. If you're poor, you still pay, but only 10%. If you're rich, you also pay, but only 10%, and from every source of income whether it's a trust, annuity, company, investment, dividend, or anything else. No way to hide money. 10% taxes (or whatever number the eggheads figure out is enough to fund the country) from everybody, all sources of income.

Medicare: No free insurance for anybody. Old people can use that money they weren't paying as taxes their whole life to buy their own insurance.

reluctantly_red · 2019-06-03T19:36:41+00:00

I'm very liberal. However, I feel American liberals get too easily distracted by marginal social issues.

I'm for strict gun control, publicly funded healthcare, free and universally available birth control, no abortion laws what so ever, mandatory vaccinations with no religious exceptions (your religion doesn't give you the right to endanger my kids), equitable taxes (yes that means rich bastards need to pay more), and much more open immigration (we need all the Mexican we can get while they're still available).

TopOccasion29 · 2019-06-03T20:52:26+00:00

I'm a mix of both liberal and conservative. Let's say central. There's pros and cons to each imo.

Gun control I'm conflicted. Guns aren't legal for civilians in my country but there has been a significant increase in knife crime the last 5 years especially in London. If they ban knives, people will use something else to kill each other. Guns will be very helpful for self-defense than knives. But the retards who purchase guns will turn London into a warzone

Abortion should be legal..but government assisted suicide should be legal as well.

Immigration - Legally i'm cool with it as it boosts the economy but my country should start taking less. There should be more investigation into illegal immigrants and they should be kicked out once found. We're a small island (UK) compared to canada and you yanks ;)

Equality - Generally yes with equal opportunities and fair treatment (Basic rights, voting, work, etc). But men and women aren't equal so that's a fascinating topic.

Vaccination- Should not be compulsory but i'm pro vaccination.

Taxes- Should be reduced in my country. If you make at least £100k you get taxed 40% fucking disgusting.

Medicare- Should be free.

Reading RP for at least 5 years. From Uk. In university slaying all the stacies and beckies. I'm british Chad...u mad?

for, I don't like women having choices, but I do like baby killing

Fine as long as it's not governmentally enforced, unlikely to ever happen since people aren't equal

> vaccination

What about it? Vaccinate if you want, don't if you don't want

> taxes

The lower the better

>Medicare

Pretty shitty, I do want commie healthcare even though the quality is going to suck ass, less complicated than dealing with insurance companies

throwinout · 2019-06-03T16:54:00+00:00

I've always been a Democrat, even when I was accused of being "trp". I do not like that the Democratic party has been taken over by feminist loons, and I do think that has played a major part in the failures of the D party.

They should go to the Greens with the other weirdos.

passepar2t · 2019-06-03T17:14:48+00:00

I'm what you call a "double red." Which is to say I want to execute everyone who knows what a hedge fund is.

MrHerbSherman · 2019-06-03T17:17:30+00:00

Classical liberal-ish. I’m pretty open to progressive ideas and market interventions in cases of clear market failures

I believe in a welfare state but think it should be very limited, basically jobs programs, options to work, earned pensions, etc. I also think healthcare in the US is a complete nightmare, we probably need to model our program on what other countries do

[deleted] · 2019-06-04T20:43:50+00:00

what’re your politics views,

Centralist, leaning to libertarian.

gun control,

It should be legalized where the crimes are rampant and the police force have no way to attend the public as it helps the population help the public officials(Brazil's case) and regulated if the situation is reversed as it help stop the crimes to happening more(Chile's case).

abortion,

Should be legalized, do whatever you want, however it should never be after the fetus have a functioning nervous system (I think it is 10-ish weeks).

If you don't wanna an abortion, don't do it.

immigration,

Constraints should be had in richer countries.

We, the third world people, have a dream of living your easy lives... But we rarely have the education or consideration you guys have, making your country a bit like ours... trash.,,, So we will pretty much destroy your center's if you let we without any constraint.

Poorer countries however should accept imigration, as it helps to show how we became so bad int he first place.

equality,

Equality of opportunity should be an principle of the government, however it should NEVER be a heavy burden on the public budget.... 1% of the budget with 10% debt? sure, 20% of the budget with 100% debt? never.

Equality<Austerity in priority.

vaccination,

Enforced. No way around it. You can choose to not vaccinate, but you also have no public schooling or healthcare because you are risking other people's lives.

taxes,

Low taxes, but Progressive taxes, i.e. the more money you have, the more you should be taxed, however taxes should be well divided in all areas, not focused in some, like industry or entertainment, the game has to be equal for everyone.Also taxes should be heavy burden on the people not the investment (like the 69% company tax in Brazil, you can easily live by working for others but to be a investor is economical suicide unless you are a millionaire, i.e. Increases inequality)

Medicare

Agreed but you should have medic care where the government makes the service, not pay for the service... otherwise you have what you see in USA.

Going to a public doctor or hospital where everything is public is fine, but to have the government pay for a private doctor or hospital only makes hospitals and doctors become more expensive.

It also escalates well as the government can heavily escalate its job.

The same applies to any job, construction? The army should do it, Education? public institutions, Judiciary? only public workers working on the building

also include how long you’ve been reading RP stuff

I discovered the RP theory around 12 years ago. As I came to a similar conclusion before I knew English or had internet.

I am part of the RP community for around 5 years, basically since its start.

where you’re from

Brazil.

grand_tiremaster · 2019-06-05T01:57:50+00:00

Pretty conservative for the most part with some libertarian views. I dunno, libertarians are apparently really shitty to eachother and are like "you're not a TRUE libertarian!". I am from SoCal, desert, grew up on an air force base. Staunchy republican dad and conservative (lifestyle, non-political) mother.

Gun control - I do not believe in making it really hard for people to own firearms. Yeah, people should be educated on how to properly handle, use, and store them. Nothing wrong with open carry. I feel safe if my man is strapping. (I am single though lmao)

Abortion - Totally sad and uneccessary, but I know it is wrong for the government to remove the choice from people. This is the libertarian view. But I do criticize the hell out of hoes who abort out of convenience. Don't let dudes nut inside of you.

Immigration - Legal is cool with me. A foreigner marrying for a green card is cool with me. Coming here illegally? GTFO. I do not mind immigration, as long as the people who come here do not try to make it mexico or whatever place they are from. They should assimilate to our culture. They can still enjoy their homelands culture, yes, but know that the USA is just that, and not their old country. I refuse to learn Spanish to accomodate foreigners that should be learning English.

Equality - Yep all good with me. Just don't shove your shit down my throat. Be gay all you want, marry your gay lover. Keep it to yourself though. I am straight, I am not out here trying to influence everyone to be straight. No straight pride month for me. Don't act like a victim. Own your shit and suck it up.

Vaccination - Absolutely. Keep your nasty sick selves away from me.

Taxes - I am okay with my taxes funding some things, not so much other things. I do not think everything should be taxed. Especially my friggin gas.

I found the RP 2 years ago, but I had the ideas of "reality", or human nature, biology, psychology for years. It just seems like common sense.

crackrocksteady7 · 2019-06-03T17:38:31+00:00

USA will be taken over by gibs voting mexicans in a few years so the only policies that matter in the short term are immigration (physical removal) and gun control (none)

Record numbers of illegals coming in after Trump was elected shows people very clearly that a political solution is impossible. Brexit and what's been happening since then is more of the same

I'm not politically active, I don't even vote. But if I had to give myself a label I'd say I'm utilitarian. I care about money and sex, and my ideal government to be run like a business. So I don't give a shit about the 2nd amendment, the right to live or right to choose, or whatever the fuck happens to refugee. I just care whats good to my wallet and sex life.

Gun control? I don't give a fuck what gets sold and what doesn't. If something increases tax revenue then go for it.

Abortion? I don't give a fuck what happens to a fetus. I just care that if women have full rights on the issue, then they should take full responsibility as well, not force some chump into child support for 18 years.

Immigration? I currently support immigration because, at least from the economics I learned, immigrants bring in more money than they take out. If that wasn't the case they can all fuck off back to where they came from.

Vaccination? I had mine, and if some idiot doesn't want to take it then its better for the human gene pool that they don't have offspring anyways.

Equality? Between what people? I support getting rid of slavery and giving all citizens the right to vote and all that. But that is restricted to law abiding taxpayers. I pay my government taxes and don't break the law, It would be absurd to think an illegal alien or a criminal should be my equal.

Taxes? The lower the better.

Medicare? The medical system as a whole is pretty broken. Anything is better than what we have now at this point.

[deleted] · 2019-06-04T00:13:28+00:00

I don't care about politics, it's all literally designed to keep people distracted. It's all fake. They all eat babies and do weird sex rituals (not an antisemitic dogwhistle or a trump thing, idk why that gets associated with the alt right). I think voting is stupid. Oh yeah, you're really going to change a system by VOTING buddy. Politicians need to fear the citizens so they stay in line. In most countries, it's backwards.

I support abortion because women are going to do it anyways, so it might as well be done safely. I recognize the societal implications, but it's just like teaching teen abstinence instead of responsible sex ed. People are going to make decisions they regret and want to fix them. I get that the fetus is a life but it's a decision the mother has to live with, not a political one IMO.

Immigration- I'm opposed to unregulated immigration not for racial issues but purely for safety reasons.

Ultimately, I literally do not care enough to have political opinions. I've been a communist, radical feminist, liberal, trump supporter, 3rd position, alt right, downright fascist before, and it's all fake lmao. I think understanding and seeing all sides/gaining knowledge is way more important than picking sides because if you gain new information you could change your views and then you have to delete all the political shit you just posted on Twitter a week ago.

abaxeron · 2019-06-04T12:27:31+00:00

where you’re from

Eastern Europe ("Indian Programmer" is a local meme)

how long you’ve been reading RP stuff

Around 5 years

Medicare and all that stuff

VERY complex issue, but I'm not an "evolutionary eugenist". If we can save people from imperfections of their own bodies, we should. BUT, this problem cannot be solved by simply pumping exponentially higher amounts of cash into the area.

taxes

Taxation of income, sales, and salaries was a mistake and opened political Pandora's box.

vaccination

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

equality

Against.

immigration

Open Borders challenge: every Open Borders supporter should remove locks on their front door for one year.

abortion

Fine as long as I'm not forced to finance my own society's extinction (currently I am).

gun control

Pro guns. Around maybe 1 in 5 adult men in my home town were hunters. Mortality from handgun wounds isn't higher than from stabbings. But with a handgun, you don't need to be a master martial artist to defend yourself against an attacker.

[deleted] · 2019-06-10T02:11:15+00:00

social Libertarian with classical democratic economic leans

gun control, I hate all methods of it.

abortion is murder, should be outlawed

immigration is cool but we need to be stricter on background checks and not let everyone in just freely, put a preference on nuclear families immigrating

equality depends on your definition of it. Gender equality is BS. Racial equality is pretty damn close to being 100% solved. Still needs some slight work.

if someone wants to be anti-vax, they need a history lesson

we need lowered taxes on citizens and a lot of tax cuts on business to promote competition but we need to eliminate the loopholes

medicare needs a reform.

jax006 · 2019-06-03T17:33:46+00:00

I'm into any political agenda that serves my self interests.

Pro choice because I'd like to keep the option of abortion open for myself if needed some day.

Pro Austerity because I am someone who will almost certaintly never collect on social programs, only fund them.

Pro gun because i like owning guns.

Sir_Koopaman · 2019-06-04T02:28:35+00:00

MGTOW, economically very conservative and socially idgaf unless it affects my wallet

gun control

against

abortion

Pro choice as long as it's an elective surgery or whatever the fuck you call "I the taxpayer don't pay for it"

immigration

Legal immigration should be restricted to skilled workers only, reduce all other types of immigration to a cap of 300,000 a year with no exceptions.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY COUNTRY BACK TO YOUR SIDE OF THE WALL YOU ILLITERATE PEASANTS

equality

Equal opportunity, yes. Equal opportunity is already a reality outside of isolated cases of racist fuckwits and liberal "diversity" policies.

Equality of outcome can piss off back to Venezuela where it can starve to death.

vaccination

This is a public health issue. Vaccinate unless it would literally kill you or gtfo. No, I don't give a shit about your brand of goat worship or what the internet regressive told you about "autism".

taxes

Taxation is theft.

Medicaid/Medicare/Berniethecommiecare

Welfare complex. Get rid of it all. No commie healthcare.

Welfare

Abolish it. The welfare state must die in 2020 alongside every miserable little hope of a democratic marxist occupying the White House.
