Whoo boy is the mead still rollin with me
Diversity is divisive
Nah you're good. I'm whiskey tipsy atm.
Well. Whiskey plastered. Fuck.
Lmao
Ay at least yall got sauce tbh. . .
I say a moderate degree. Go to far diversity, theres seperation. Too far homogenous, and you make an echo chamber
I’m pretty traditional I believe that God is the center and the family unit should be the building blocks of a nation. I believe that the constitution is a great document and should be followed extremely strictly. I believe that our nation is the best in the world and support her basic principles and not the government. I think the current government needs to be re aligned with what the basic American idea is. That’s a quick rundown on a few of what I believe.
So a moderate conservitive whos a constitutionalist
Yea I guess so
But you can have diverse thought in mono-ethnic groups. It is indeed possible. Look to Japan for example. Highly ethnocentric xenophobic nation which had scholars and philosophers that rivaled warriors and generals.
Ima be honest, political views are a sliding spectrum
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.
The fed govt didnt hace such egregious and gross.overeach
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
