ya I would cut them down to only one tax 😉

that would be 0% under me

A lot of people don't realize that the wealthy pay over half of the taxes the US government gets from the population every year.

Eh we still need a governent in place

if you tax the income then CEOs would pay themselves minimal

And wed need taxes to keep it running. But yeah make it like a service I guess.

only because humans are a tribal people that are lawless in nature and don't care about the community in some areas

I mean, I may be partial to anarchy, but Id still like someone around to keep order

The US kinda does it well? People can look out for themselves, and have the govt to watch them.

I'm not sure that's anarchy so much as libertarianism: believing in small government, not a lack of it.

Yeah, but I wasnt sure if libertarianism was left or right

I mean the ISideWith did say that I am libertarian

Liberty-Authoritharian isnt really a left/right thing right?

Actually, you can be a libertarian left or right. It's the opposite of authoritarianism, which can also be left or right.

libertarian in center

libertarian, authoritarian is south/north respectivly

Did you take the political compass? I think that's the most popular one that most people use.

I was right/south but mostly in the center iirc

I was bottom/left, mostly toward the middle.

I did take the political test as well.

I was right/Liberty

actually lemme look again

I'm actually with the right on a lot of fiscal policies and ideas.

Yeah rightwing libertarian

Lol, listed as extremely rightwing and strongly libertarian

I doubt this server would have any center left or more

I assumed most here were center

Well, Tim himself is center left, if I recall.

And I considered myself mostly center as well, so I was kinda surprised when I got extreme right wing

I think the important thing is being towards the center. lol

I mean true left to alt left

Oh.

right is conservative, left is liberal

ISideWith also has alot of other axes as well to compare

Well, I just kinda feel that the liberal lable has be kinda tainted

I mean, now when I hear liberal, i think pussy hat wearing feminists

and soyboys

ya, by antifa/blm/bamn

I mean, one thing is to not judge a movement by its worst members

or KKK all from the left

but theres so many members

I didn't like a lot of the questions of the "ISideWith" website, since a lot of the options to choose from I didn't agree with, or the questions were worded in such a way where I could not answer them the way I wanted to.

Yeah I had that issue as well

they do try to put in more options that are not either/or

ya, that is why you take a multitude and take an average

I mean, as well ,the strongly to cant care less part

Plus, a lot of them were specific to exact policies and ideas that I am not quite educated on and know little about.

Those you could leave blank or put couldnt care less about

I think they factor your care on the subject to the actual score

Heh, yeah, about that...

Let's just say I've been called both a racist and an SJW.

I guess I'm doing something right then?

yes

Eh, styx, sargon, tim, they all had that

that would mean you are more center

Ive been compared to alt right, but never an SJW.

because the sides repel you

I mean, the alt right are just as cringy as the SJWs, just that you dont hear of them much

Like, I wouldn't necessarily join with or side with the alt right, but I do think they bring up some fine points -- it's often their solutions to the problems I disagree with.

Just people carrying a label.

I dunno, at least the alt right will talk to you, at least *try* to strike up a conversation.
They won't beat you with clubs and bike locks for having a conservative thought.

I am more like, i respect their right to speak as much as they should respect mine to mock them if they say something I find silly.

you don't hear about the alt right because the left removes their free speech (google, silicon valley)

Or the fact that they know how important it is to behave since everyone keeps a tight eye on them

Plus, they're not the ones with the social power right now.

I mean, would it be accurate to say that they are a symtom as well?

Of people tired of being sidelined.

The alt right? I would say their sudden resurgence has largely been a response to the hard left, yes.

yes, they would be considerd an ultru conservative if you analize their POV

At the very least listen to them. Hell, I remember some people saying that even the neo nazis were friendlier.

The "leaders" of the alt right have even said that they are fine with how the left is conducting itself. They wouldn't have the left do anything different, since it's bringing people right into their arms.

Like theyd call you an idiot, but will ask if you want to chat or debate sometime

as waves apear peaks are easier to see than a calm surface

and the left shouts hate speech and wants you in jail

meaning you strongly support policies that promote economic freedom and a society based on morals and values

is this what rightwing means?

At the very least the alt right respects free speech, for the most part, whereas antifa and groups like that will just beat you once one of their number labels you as a fascist.

Took that from the ISideWIth

The altright appreciates it, cause it still gives them a voice

Doesn't matter if they're right or not. If one points at you and yells 'fascist!' the rest will just dogpile onto you.

yes @GingaBomber

They know that without it, they are nothing

Hmm on a different topic, when they say morals however

do they mean like, ban vices ala sharia law?

tbh i get really annoyed when people label progressives and the far left as liberal

I mean, real liberals really should.

Yeah, they've kind of taken that term for themselves when they're not really liberal.

but real liberals actually exist

Like now no distinction between classical lib or progressive

maybe you aren't looking hard enough

They do, but they are outshadowed by the ones with the microphones

Not everyone got the time.

how would you define progressive? it sounds like that is a third axis to me

And maybe if they were hard to find, they might not be as significant.

Not saying they are not significant.

i mean it's more of that everyone is at mercy of an algorithm that just want's you glued to a screen

Hmm, tim did actually discuss that.

Fuck man, rip if Tim tries to have a convo here.

Cause he is the man
