[Matterhorn]

Nation of Residency: U.S.A
Nationality: Born in America, have 3/8 Czech, 1/8 Greek from dad, 1/4 Northern Irish and 1/4 Scottish from mom.
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right -.088 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 5.18
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Traditionalist. (I guess closer to "the right" in how most people look at politics these days).
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Neo-conservative/Imperialistic in foreign policy, distributist in economics/Political Roman Catholicism
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Used to be a Republican. Now I only like Republicans because the Democrats are the enemies of my religion.
Religion: Devout Traditional Roman Catholic. This shapes everything I think of when it comes to politics.

Direct democracy: A wholly failed system that is seeing its last days. Man cannot be ruled by himself. We are a fallen creation and live on the planet governed by the minions of Satan. We only look out for ourselves and are almost in full rebellion against God, and thus we cannot be trusted as a whole to make important decisions. My ideal political regime would be modeled after the French monarchy of Louis XIV.

Abortion: Should be illegal in absolutely all circumstances (except if the mother's life is legitimately in danger. This is part of the "principal of double effect". It's still wrong to kill the infant, but it's also wrong for the mother to allow herself to die. If the main goal is to save the mother's life, then the child may need to be a necessary sacrifice. Should be last option, and mothers should be encouraged to stay the course). Contraception inevitably leads to abortion and therefore must be made outright illegal as well, as well as this "hook-up culture".
War in Afghanistan: 100% for it, because they were harboring minions of evil fighting a false "holy war" against the West.
War in Iraq: Possibly, for it, possibly against it. If they were harboring terrorists or holding WMDs for use against the West (which I have no firm evidence that they were) then I totally support the actions of the U.S. If they weren't then I disapprove of it, not because I am a "peace at any price" person, but because Saddam could have been used as a successful ally against Iran, which is a much bigger threat.
Marijuana: Should be illegal except if it is a medical necessity.
Firearms: Should not be banned, and should be kept out of the hands of those who cannot handled it (i.e. a negligible amount of gun owners). As a military necessity hail Mary plan, they should be kept in case of invasion, or legitimate personal defense.
Gay Marriage: It's not marriage. Marriage must be fruitful, faithful and forever. Gays would obviously have a problem fulfilling the first part.
Gay adoption: If it's a gay couple, then absolutely not. BUT: If it is a celibate gay man or woman faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church, then I have no problems at all.
Religion in schools: Catholicism should be taught and defended in all public schools.
Death penalty: For the most heinous crimes. Mass murders, mass rapists, traitors. Single murders (even in the 1st degree) should not get the penalty. (I deviate from the Church on this one matter, since it's not an infallible teaching that the death penalty is wrong)

Healthcare: Uhh....Hard one. I recognize that health care is something we should all have access to, but government-run anything almost always results in a retarded mess of bureaucratic politics which would result in the incredible decay of the quality of the American health care system. So, everybody should have access to it, but how that would look I have no idea.
Euthanasia: Never acceptable in any circumstances.

Immigration: The borders must be secured, so no open borders or amnesty. But a path to citizenship should exist for those already in America, and the immigration process should be easier.
Taxation: An income tax of any kind is evil. How did the government earn the money that it's taking out of good workers' paychecks besides the fact that it's the government? It didn't. I support a nation-wide sales tax, which hurts economic growth the least. The poorest among us should somehow be partially exempt from this, or we could not tax food and other necessities.
The Military: Large. Very large, and should take an active role of toppling the governments of those who would do us harm. (I am an imperialist, so long as that imperialism seeks to expand the numbers of the Catholic religion)
Communism: An evil ideology which saw the mass murders of millions and under which the persecution of the Church was among the worst in its history.
Nazism/Fascism: Nazism, no way. Racism is deplorable. Fascism, in the Italian model, is a valid political system that I have many positive feelings about.

UN: A UN-like organization should exist, but the UN is just a horrible invention in its current form.
USA: Under the influence of a rapidly-shrinking heretical Protestant leadership that is quickly being overtaken by the spirit of atheism and thus no longer has my respect. I shall have no allegiance to a nation that murders its infants by the millions and spreads its cultural rot across the globe. The constitution has allowed this false idea of what rights are and has also allowed the spirit of atheism to penetrate our society.
EU: I'm not European, so I can't speak on this.
Russia: Putin is probably my favorite world leader right now.
China: A Communist state that should be aggressively fought against.
Arab Spring: I care not for the political struggles of infidels. If these new Arab governments seek a jihad with us, let them come.
Iran: The biggest threat to world peace in today's times.
Israel/Palestine: I care not for the political squabbles of infidels fighting against infidels. (It's just a war of "who is more wrong")
Scottish Independence: If they want it, they should get it. The Irish on the other hand, deserve the freedom from the United Kingdom, who have spent the last 1000 years oppressing then and for the last 500 spreading their heresies.
Global Warming/Environmental Regulation: If Global warming is real, it should be fought against.
Genetically Modified crops: No opinion.
Nationalism: People should be proud of where we came from, but our ultimate loyalty should be to the Roman Pontiff and then to God.
Stem Cell Research: No nation will ever be great by destroying its life.
Labor Unions: Necessary. One of the sins that cry out to heaven is the sin of defrauding a worker of his just wages.
Free Trade or Fair Trade: Fair trade.

Political Hero(es): Pope Leo XIII created my economic beliefs and Pope Urban II and Pope Saint Pius V created my foreign policy, with French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre thrown in there. Also, King Louis XIV of France.
Political Enemy(ies): Obama, France's president, Arab leaders, all political leaders of a misguided religion.

I'm sure you all loved this one, since it's so different from everything else on here. I tried not to sound too "bigoted", but I believe a government must recognize the authority it gets from God and God alone and therefore must try to save the souls of its people by teaching and (to a limited extent) enforcing the teachings of God's one Church, the Catholic Church, under the jurisdiction of the Roman Pontiff. I do not believe in "seperation of Church and state" or "religious liberty" because I believe that error has no rights. A nation in error cannot survive for long. This means all error, Protestant, atheist, Muslim, etc. I believe that we can and should enforce Catholic morality because the only reason that laws themselves exist are to enforce morality. Murder is immoral, so it should be penalized.

[Hetman Khmelnytsky]

DOB: June 5, 1998
Country of Origin: Lviv, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine
Country of Residency: Mountain View, California, United States
Nationality: 100% Ukrainian of Galician origin, but in full detail i'm 7/8th Ukrainian and 1/8th Ashkenazi Jewish (of Galitzianer origin), with a little extract of German from the colonists who came to Galicia during the Habsburg times
Political Compass Result: Didn't took it
Where do you put yourself in the political spectrum?: Center-right
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping? (socialist, neocon, etc): Your typical European-style conservative, socially right-wing, fiscally left-wing. In America I would consider myself following the social views of a conservative Republican (pro-life, traditional family values, etc.) and the economic views of progressive Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren (protectionism/fair trade, paid family leave, free college, $15 minimum wage, fighting climate change, etc.)
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Ukrainian Galician Party and Samopomich/Self-Reliance (Ukraine), Politically independent in America; it's disgraceful that we have to choose between a corrupt crook and a racist chump. End the two party system, period.
Religion: Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

Abortion: Pro-life (except in extreme cases, rape, incest and defects in the fetus), it's nothing but murder from a mix of religious, secular and scientific perspectives. The Republicans are pro-life until birth and I extremely disagree with the Democrats' pro-choice stance. Other than that, I don't give a crap about what women do to their bodies, but there needs to be limits in cases where basic human rights trumps over bodily autonomy, e.g. abortion. Being pro-life is more than abortion from a devout Catholic's perspective, all life should be taken care of and protected and we need more social programs to combat the stigma of abortion (Great Society 2.0, anyone?). The Catholic Church's history of charitable activities pretty much invalidates the argument of "Pro-lifers don't care about the baby after they're born!" from their perspective.
Planned Parenthood: They're just as worse as the GOP and the Koch brothers. Either stop their abortion services or divert their money to proper medical clinics. And the corporate welfare part of it too.
ISIS: **** them.
Islam: Defend friendly kebab, only remove the mentally insane ones like ISIS and al-Qaeda. I have mixed opinions on the migrant crisis following recent events in Paris and Cologne; I don't hate Muslims and I have Muslim friends, but I seriously think there should be quota limits per month, and in crises like this, let the European states decide for this, not the EU.
Marijuana: Should be illegal except for medical use.
Firearms: Pro-gun, with some expanded background checks. Guns should not be sold to terrorists, people on the no-fly zone and mentally crazy people.
Gay "Marriage": Pro-traditional marriage and pro-traditional family values but pro-gay rights and anti-LGBT discrimination.
Religion in schools: I'm fine with that, as long as they don't force any religion into anyone in class. And schools in the US should stop with the creationism/intelligent design crap.
Death penaltly: Absolutely against except for the most extreme cases.
Healthcare: pro-state-funded Universal healthcare. Regarding free birth control, I don't care how it's sold or provided but I believe religious organizations and charities should have the right to opt out of it and refer to other health centers.
Euthanasia/Assisted Suicide: Absolutely against
Immigration: I'm fine with that, but the borders should be guarded.
Military: The military should take a role in peacekeeping and to keep the country safe, but not to the point of a world policeman.
Climate Change: I believe it's true and we need to do something about this before it's too late. I view this as a moral, pro-life issue for the future, and as Christians, we need take action to protect the Creation God gave us (metaphorically). I really like the words of Pope Francis and the Evangelical Richard Cizik's idea of "creation care" when it comes to this topic. My family views regular grocery stores in the area with suspicion, so I usually go to either Whole Foods or Costco, and I primarily eat grass-fed beef.
Feminism: Modern feminism has gone too far, not to mention they insult women for doing things that are considered feminine; equality, not empowerment. I also believe there's no such thing as a war on women here in America.


Communism: An evil ideology responsible for the murder of millions of people, especially the millions of Ukrainians and Cossacks in the man-made Holodomor famine. Also responsible to severely repressing the Ukrainian culture and language, the de-Ukrainianization and forced Russification of Ukrainians within Russia's present borders such as in Kuban, the destruction of churches, the severe persecution of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, etc.
Fascism/Nazism: Also an evil ideology responsible for murdering millions of innocent lives. They terrorized Ukraine during WW2, because Hitler wanted to see Ukraine dead, with absolutely NO Ukrainians. Another fact is people still think the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) are Nazis, but they had nothing to do with them. UPA fought AGAINST BOTH the Soviets and Nazis, but they are too controversial for me. I'm more into Zaporozhian Cossacks and the age of Kievan Rus.
Jews/Zionism/Israel: Ukrainians and Jews have one thing in common - to stop Nazism and Communism. Symon Petliura (President of the Ukrainian People's Republic) and Ze'ev Jabotinsky (A Ukrainian Zionist Leader) are friends. There were Jews who served in the UPA. For instance my grandfather during WW2 saved some Jews including a half-Jewish woman that later became his wife. Her brother was also a UPA fighter. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church also sheltered many Jews from persecution during the Nazi occupation. I believe the Jews have the right to a sovereign state - the State of Israel. However, the Palestinian question should be resolved in a peaceful way - Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies!
Iraq/Afghanistan: Iraq war was a disaster and should've never happen, Afghanistan could've easily been done with a few highly-trained special forces.
Racism: Will NOT be tolerated, 100% against.

NATO: I support Ukraine joining NATO, it brings many opportunities and it can distance itself from Russia.
USA: I'm fine with America. I don't really like or dislike Obama because I disagree on some of his issues. I'm not much into American politics, and I'm pissed off about Democrats and Republicans not working with each other to make America better, and the party polarization. Either Bernie Sanders, Gary Johnson or Jill Stein should be president.
EU: Ukraine should join EU to distance away from Russia and its allies, but i'm partially Eurosceptic now because of some issues. I like the concept of a European Union, but the problems with its economy like in Greece and the refugee crisis is the reason why I disagree with the EU a bit, and I view the idea of a European superstate or federation to be preposterous. Ukraine should join the EU but in a moderate distance away from the EU just like Poland's new government.
Russia: Should COMPLETELY stay away from Ukrainian affairs, especially in Crimea and Donbass. I like Russian people and culture but NOT their government! Russian land should also be partitioned to severely punish Putin. Even though it's unlikely, I believe Kuban, Eastern Donbass (Taganrog/Shakhty), Eastern Slobozhanshchyna, Belgorod, Starodubshchyna and Transnistria should be ceded to Ukraine in the future. Belarus should also get Smolensk, Bryansk and Velikiye Luki too.
Iran: Seriously, their regime is anti-American and anti-Zionist, they are a big threat.
Poland: I am NOT against Poland or its people in any shape, size or form. I cannot stand chauvinistic Poles saying that we're not brothers because of what happened 7 decades ago and calling all of our people "Banderites". I like Poland, I have nice friends from there and I like their culture and people. I even have some Polish ancestry myself. I believe Poland and Ukraine should reconcile on its historical issues, and be friends. The good thing is that the Poles support us in the Orange Revolution of 2004-2005 and they also support us for joining the EU. My dream for a Polish-Ukrainian brotherhood is that the historical problems we've had should be forgiven in name of a better future between us, and nobody will argue if Lviv is Polish or not. I also advocate for a revival of the Intermarium/Międzymorze federation. Regarding the cities of Przemyśl and Chełm, I accept the fact that these cities and the surrounding regions are Polish territories, even though at times it belonged to Ukraine shortly after WW1 and Galicia-Volhynia during medieval times because it was populated by an important Ruthenian/Ukrainian population at times. I know a few cousins who have cousins who have roots from Przemyśl and Jarosław, but they fled to Ukraine after WW2.
Macedonia: Macedonia IS and ALWAYS Greek. I do not hate "Macedonian" Slavs, because we're Slavic brothers, but I think they should rename their country to Vardaria/Vardarska to avoid trouble with Greeks, or just be part of Bulgaria.
Chechnya: Free Chechnya from Kremlin/Jihadist crap!

Domestic Policy for Ukraine (my vision, based on the PiS platform from Poland):​ Poroshenko is an okay president, but I do have some grievances against him. I believe our country should pull an Andrzej Duda (preferrably a charismatic strongman from Galicia) and imitate Poland's rightward shift, we need a Ukrainian version of PiS. Here's what the platform will look like:

• A deliberate and swift end to the crisis in Donbass, as well as implementation of a massive reeducation program for the residents of the occupied territories to educate about and expose DNR/LNR crimes, as well as Soviet crimes in a fair, balanced and unbiased manner.
• Return of Crimea to Ukraine
• Annexation of Transnistria to prevent internal conflicts within Moldova, it was our territory at first, not the Moldovans nor the Russians.
• Placing an emphasis on traditional Christian-style values of social conservatism, with a dash of egalitarianism for women in it. (We need equality, not empowerment. Modern feminism is just calling for women to have more rights than men in my opinion.) LGBT should not be discriminated and should have rights, but the portrayal of their lifestyle and values in the media should be downplayed.
• Pro-family policies, like extended paid parental leave, government nannies, incentives for new families like grants for people who have a new children, and closing certain businesses like supermarkets on Sunday so families can spend time together.
• Criminalizing abortion (except in extreme cases, rape, incest and defects in the fetus) based on the Polish model as a way to reverse Ukraine's population decline, pro-natalist policies (as well as comprehensive sex-ed (both abstinence and birth control) with a little emphasis on sexual abstinence, it's time that the Sexual Revolution must be reversed (but keep the women in the workplace).
• More religious influence in our country (but not to the point of a theocracy like those Republican nutjobs here in America), undoing the elimination of our Christian faith from the association of Ukrainian culture and society by the Soviets by passing an amendment to the constitution to say that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church as the de jure nominal state churches to highlight our Christian heritage (but de facto separation of church and state to prevent the churches from wielding too much power in the country), and regulation of church-state mixing. Religious minorities like Crimean Tatar Muslims and the remaining Jews will be given state support too.
• Integration of the three different Ukrainian Orthodox Churches under one autocephalous church in full communion under the Patriarch of Kyiv.
• Fiscally progressive policies (higher minimum wage, breaking up the big banks, state-provided universal healthcare, more welfare support, tax the rich, stop the power of the oligarchs, environmental protection like cutting CO2 emissions and reforestation efforts, regulation of industry, massive infrastructure projects, etc... Miners in Donbass will still keep their jobs, because it's important to our economy.)
• Modernization of the Ukrainian army to transform it to a flexible fighting force, and eventually joining NATO, as well as initiatives for creation of independent paramilitary groups.
• Integration with the EU on economic terms, but keeping a moderate distance away from them. This party believes that the legacy of Euromaidan must continue, but skeptical of some of EU's policies.
• Negotiating with Poland and possibly Belarus if Lukashenko is overthrown to revive the Intermarium alliance to balance the EU and Russia + its allies.
• Complete Decommunization and De-Russification of Ukrainian society, but emphasis on basic rights of Russian-speaking Ukrainians.
• Edit the preamble to our constitution to mention about how we're the rightful heir to the Kievan Rus state via Volodymyr the Great, Galicia-Volhynia, Cossack Hetmanate, etc...
• Regaining ethnic Ukrainian territories that were lost to Russia in the past, like Kuban, Belgorod, Ostrogozhsk, Taganrog, Starodub etc... In the very least priority.
• Replacement of the State Union of Russia and Belarus with a new politico-economic union between Ukraine and Belarus called the Ruthenian Union, with a potential third state being a hypothetical Don Cossack State centered around Rostov Oblast.
• Achieving reconciliation with Poland over the Volhynia/Galicia massacres, like the establishment of a joint tribunal to investigate what really happened without any Polish or Ukrainian bias. Poroshenko is not doing enough when it comes to this topic, which is a very serious issue in Polish-Ukrainian relations.

Nationalism: Stepan Bandera brings inspiration to some Ukrainians, especially in the west, where I came from, as he helped the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) and the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) fight both the Nazi and Soviet scum without any foreign aid. Sadly, some chauvinistic Poles (They do not represent the majority of Poles, all of my Polish friends aren't that nationalistic, they do not hate Ukrainians and don't care if Lviv is Ukrainian) rant against him just because they think he's a Nazi collaborator responsible for the brutal murder of tens of thousands of Poles (As well as Ukrainians and on a much smaller scale, Jews (UPA's relations with the Jews are complex and not one-sided), Czechs and Armenians) in Volhynia and Galicia.

Bandera had nothing to do with the Volhynia/Galicia massacres as he didn't issue such orders to massacre the Poles, neither he was present. I very strongly condemn these events because of its brutality, and only a part of the UPA, under an inexperienced commander named Dmytro Klyachkivsky (Klym Savur) and also Mykola Lebed is responsible for this inhumane tragedy. Klyachkivsky and Lebed are stupid a**hats and a bloody disgrace to the Ukrainian nation for starting this , not to mention Bandera has serious differences of opinions with them. Soviet and Nazi propaganda also worsened the relations between Poles and Ukrainians in Volhynia and Galicia at that time. All of my relatives who were in UPA during WW2 DIDN'T participate in the massacres. And I will not argue with or listen to Ukrainophobic insults from Poles and Russians, because arguing with a Pole or a Russian about UPA and the massacres can spiral out into a flamewar. Let's not forget that there were cases where Armia Krajowa launched retaliatory attacks against Ukrainians.

UPA had a good concept of freeing Ukraine from totalitarianism and it partially worked (they resisted the Soviets without foreign aid until the mid-1950s; the mortality rate for Soviet soldiers fighting UPA are higher than fighting the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and even ambushed and killed one of the best Soviet commanders of WWII Nikolai Vatutin in 1944) even though it was an unsuccessful struggle. They were just simply fighting for what they thought was right as every other soldier. The Volhynia/Galicia massacres is one of the hardest things to deal with in our history, and it's understandable for us Ukrainians and Poles not to deal good with such issues. It was a mark of shame in Polish-Ukrainian relations, and we should forget the past because it's been 7 decades since this happened and we should move on, as both Ukraine and Poland are on a path of reconciliation and establishing good, cooperative relations. Besides Ukraine and Poland have many similarities, like our language, where we borrowed a lot of words from Polish, which distances our language from Russian. To me Ukrainians are genetically and in mentality closer to Poles, especially in less Russified Galicia.

And the main reason why I say "Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!" is because we want a better future, and to remember our history. Besides, "Slava Ukraini!" dates back to the time of Petliura's Ukrainian People's Republic. "Heroyam Slava!" was from the time of UPA though.

So to sum up, i'm indifferent towards Banderism.


Political Heroes: Edmund Burke, John Locke, Klemens von Metternich, Russell Kirk, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Bernie Sanders, Kost Levytsky, Andriy Sadovyi, William Jennings Bryan
Political Enemies: Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Putin, Zhirinovsky, Lukashenko, Polish chauvinists/nationalists who demand Lviv back, Novorossiya/DNR/LNR supporters, Gubarev, Plotnitsky, Zakharchenko, Trump, Hillary, Republicans, religious extremists, modern-day feminists, pro-choicers (I respect the opposition and I debated about the sanctity of life with a lot of my pro-choice friends but in my opinion, their arguments are pointless because women deserve better options, like abstinence and birth control. I know that abortion and slavery are completely unrelated but many pro-choice arguments I heard eerily remind me of pro-slavery arguments in the Antebellum South.)
