How so
Oh boy, I get to use that useless poly sci degree
My views have changed in the past few years a great bit
I support legalization of weed
I don’t support deportation
I think we need to fix the system instead of building a wall
That’s not the only system that needs work
Our justice system needs a fix
We're summing up beliefs?
Mine are as follows.
The individual is a unit in a mighty cog of a machine. Without the individual the machine does not work. The government is there to protect said machine from other machines, yet the cog must be allowed to grow and develop and operate without interference. So too must politics be. The governments duty is to protect it's people from threats of war and economic strife, while allowing the individual to live largely unimpeded in day to day life. Civil liberties are among the highest order of importance, and must also be protected. The State exists to serve the people, but the people must maintain the state with care that the machine does not become out of control.
Holy shit I'm fucked up does that make sense????
Views can be fluid. But as for a sliding scale. So lets say tou have left and right at the extremes, everyone falls into the middle of those poles somewhere. If you wanna get more indepth you ad libertarian vs authoritarian and boom, political.compasa
*chuckles in authoritarian right*
Aight bet imma see where I fall
Yes yes we know with all the nazi larp. Ima scream "taxation is theft" and play that stereotype
For fucked up, Autocorrect has your back Watch - but yeah I copy.
But, I hate to say it, taxes are necessary to maintain the social contract. Govts should be as small as possible to aceive that end
I just think the state should officiate and observe internal functions and organize foreign diplomacy.
Anything else, as long as you're an adult, and not treading on anyone else, should be as regulated as loosely as possible.
But I fall pretty close to Ancap - and yall hate our retarded idea (and I don't fully blame you)
@thedarkness05 How did America survive to 1913 with no income tax?
Property tax?
I'm going to bed. Night gents.
Night
Also, truth.
Idk - I'm pretty hard *Tax is Theft* but I'm open minded (see above)
FDR really fucked the pig on that end. But yeah, if there is no State at all there's anarchy. Anarchy givea way to violent tribalism. We're betyer than that
@INNYGMATYK same here. I beleive the private sector and charity efforts are far more efficient than any govt system. And they can be held accountable. However there is the danger of corporatism, see all major tech companies
Man, libertarianism is a weird place
Yeah - but if there's no Intellectual Property Law, anyone can make your product and better quicker for cheaper
If there's no monopoly you can pull the lever on through government, you have no Crony-Capitalist Corpratocracy (sp)
Again - I think you're right - I'm sure I'm naive and there must be SOME ""Presence of Authority"", but, government and groups of people sure seem good at fucking it up (as we do).
Truth
Here’s what I got
Not bad
Hey @INNYGMATYK Id love to continue this, but I gotra be up for work in 4 hours. Wanna go for round 2 tomorrow?
Alright, moderate right. Not a bad place to be
@thedarkness05 For sure. I might be AWOL. But ping me and if I'm around, we'll get at it.
Rest easy, my guy 🙌
Night 🅱️
Here’s my other one
noice
Brother talked to me about our DNA ancestry tests
