The Political Profile Thread

[Gallus]

This test puts me a bit closer to extreme left every year. Which is kind of funny because I still see myself as a moderate leftist.

Marijuana: Illegal or so highly regulated nobody will want to touch it.
Firearms: Fundamentally opposed

Death penalty: Opposed in all circumstances
EU: Moderately for. But huge reform is needed.

Russia: In its current form Russia is the Great Satan.
Free Trade: Fundamentally good despite the leeches that abuse it.
Refugees: Treat refugees as refugees rather than immigrants or permanent residents (meaning they get to go back home when the war is done). If there's a war in Syria only accept Syrians, not Pakistanis and sub-Saharan Africans.
Women in the frontline: Strongly opposed.
Transgender Military Service: Opposed on scientific basis.
Israel/Palestine: Mostly Palestine.
Feminism: Good idea that turned into aggressive societal cancer. Expunge and replace with real gender equity.

Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Hell no.
Religion: none

Abortion: Not illegal

Gay Marriage: Not illegal
Gay Adoption: Not illegal

Marijuana: Legal (but shunned by society).
Firearms: Unrestricted.
Marriage: No recognition of marriage by government, straight or gay.

It's been two and a half years so I thought I'd post an update.

Abortion: Illegal in all cases, except serious and credible threat to the mother's life or physical health.
Marijuana: Legal but shunned by society.
Firearms: Unrestricted.
Marriage: No recognition of marriage by government, whether heterosexual or homosexual.
War in Iraq: A just war that's resulted in more good than harm.
EU: Free trade and freedom of movement are good, but any further integration than that (e.g., common military) should probably be opposed.
Islam: A false religion that's led to spiritual and material misery for untold billions of people.
Trump: 3/10
Gay adoption: Only in exceptional circumstances.
Religion in schools: Government shouldn't be involved in education. Private schools should be free to teach whatever they want.
Death penalty: Mandatory for all particularly egregious crimes, such as murder, kidnapping, sexual or grievous physical assault against a woman, child or elderly person.
Healthcare: 100% privatized.
Immigration: Unless someone poses a risk to the health or safety of the community, they should be allowed to immigrate. Citizenship should be significantly more difficult to obtain for the non-native born.
Women in the frontline: No.
Feminism: Left undefined, this could mean anything. Women have the same natural rights as men, but different (albeit complementary, not lesser) roles and obligations.

[Mr Longbowman]

DOB: 1993
Country of Residence: Hungary
Nationality: Swedish-American
Political Compass Result:
Economic Left/Right: -3.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.85


Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Center-left
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Neo-liberal shill.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: US Democratic party and a reformer-proponent of the Swedish Social Democrats.
Religion: Agnostic, and think religion is overrated (both as phenomenon and thing to rail against)


Abortion: Should be legal. I do however buy the notion that the start of life is difficult to define. It is not conception however.
War in Iraq: Against, but complicated by how we have screwed up regions by not intervening as well. But yes - definitely fall on disaster-side.
Marijuana: Legalize it, don't criticize it.
Firearms: Should be regulated and controlled. Willing to compromise on this in the American context however.
Gay Marriage: Yes, everyone should have one.
Gay adoption: Yes.
Religion in schools: Sure, if following curriculum otherwise agreed to. Which should not be set by individual schools BTW.
Death penalty: Against

The compass results make sense, as I identify as left by American standards - but am quite comfortable admitting that I have internalized a lot of the American political assumptions about the supremacy of the free market. Basically I am a center-left proponent of regulating the market, while maintaining it as the central organizing method of society.

--

Updating with more current template:


Marriage: No recognition of marriage by government, straight or gay. If politically impossible, then gay marriage is a reasonable workaround.
EU: I'm a fan. Sort of exists in a weird middle ground between being to centralized and not being centralized enough though. Needs reform, I'd prefer in the centralized direction.
Islam: Don't care. No different than any other religion.
Trump: 3/10. 1/10 if he was competent.
Religion in schools: Don't really care. Want regional or state curriculum that are secular however.
Death penalty: No. While I buy the moral notion that it might be justified in some cases, I feel that even one wrongful state murder makes a lifetime sentence much more reasonable as most extreme punishment.
Healthcare: Too important to be left to either the state or the market. Hybrid.
Education: Public. Organized regionally or nationally (at a high enough level to avoid municipality inequality)
Immigration: Yes please. Voting rights should be more easy to attain as a means of integration.
Women in the frontline: Yes, but make sure to keep an eye on issues of workplace harassment and whether they are comfortable deployed in situations where sexual assault is a reasonable expectation if captured.
Feminism: Yes. What year is it?

[Aexodus]

Nationality: Northern Irish
Political Compass Result:

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum:Centre
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Liberal Conservatism
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: No
Abortion: Generally pro-life, completely opposed to eugenics.
Marijuana: Opposed to a change on the laws regarding dealing, but possession for personal use shouldn’t be a crime. Advocate of medically required drugs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-43101716
Firearms: The laws around firearms could be relaxed in the UK. For example, handguns are completely illegal.
Gay Marriage: Against. Why is civil partnership, introduced in 2004, not enough.
Gay adoption: Same sex couples shouldn’t be given priority.
Religion in schools: Not opposed to, but a variety of historical and moral education is needed.
Death penalty: There are certain cases where it’s justified, war crimes etc
EU: No. The EU was fine as a customs union, but political intergation with two parliaments, an unelected President and commission, a flag, national anthem, international embassies, and now they’re openly advocating an EU army.
Free Healthcare: Generally yes, wealth shouldn't be a barrier to healthcare. However in the UK reforms is needed, for example in England prescriptions are not free. This approach could be expanded. A hybrid solution?
Free education: Yes, required for social mobility and a higher skilled workforce. Works in the long run.
Muslims: People.
Islam: A flawed ideology.
Immigrants: People.
Immigration: Needs to be reduced to 10s of thousands in the UK. Zero tolerance to illegal immigration.
Political Correctness: Apoor substitute for factual correctness.
Refugees: Should stay in the first safe country, with aid from the West supporting them. After the war is over, they should return to their home countries.
Women in the frontline: There should be no concessions in the selection process, as is currently the case.
Transgender Military Service: Women aren’t permitted to be in special forces. Same rules apply here.
Israel/Palestine: None of our business.
Syrian intervention: Opposed
Justice: Rehabilitation>punishment. No TVs or excessive comfort for prisoners however as is the case.
Free speech: the right which all others follow from. Hate speech is free speech. Incitement to violence laws should already cover that area.
Freedom: True freedom is the absence of coercion. State coercion should be minimised where possible. Nanny state government is antithetical to freedom. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46558944 Simple things like this are too far.
Equality: Equality under the law. Not equity, not equality of outcome.
Hate crime laws: Thought crime. No. Murder is murder. You can’t incriminate a motive. Why not jealousy?
State surveillance: Against.
Euthanasia: Assisted self suicide should be legal.
Alternative treatment: Freedom to seek your own treatment if the NHS can’t cover it. Private healthcare: “We don’t cover this treatment, seek help elsewhere. NHS: “We don’t cover this treatment, your child must die”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-44334306
United Ireland: Opposed as an Ulster Unionist. It cannot be truly achieved, as that would require the abolition of Stormont.
Feminism: Yep, still a malignant cancer. As an advocate of gender equality, I believe the 2002 sex discrimination act should be repealed.

Marijuana: Should be legalized.
Firearms: Should be strict regulated and controlled. No automatic or half automatic assault rifles for citizens.

Feminism: Yes, same duties, same rights.
Women in the frontline: Yes, because: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet...n_World_War_II
Transgender Military Service: Yes.
Political Correctness: Necessary for a peaciful together in a society
Immigration: Yes necessary in an society with more old people than young people.

Syrian intervention: Opposed
Justice: Resocialisation > security.
Free speech: Free speech within the borders of anti hate speech
Freedom: only possible within the freedom of the others

[Muizer]

DOB: 1972
Nationality: Dutch
Residence: Netherlands

Political Compass:
Economic Left/Right: -7.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: social liberal
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Greens
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No.
Religion: No.
Military Intervention: Not categorically against, but the ends rarely justify the means.
Drugs: Impractical to ban, but the state has a role to play through education and information to ensure common usage remains socially undesirable.
Firearms: Should only legally be carried by military, law enforcement and nature conservation professionals. I admit though that in countries where firearms are as widely distributed as the US, that genie won't go back into the bottle.
Gay Marriage and adoption: I see no valid reason to legislate against it.
Abortion: I see no valid reason to legislate against it. That's a decision the woman in question has to make within their moral framework.
Religion in schools: Not if paid for with tax money. (to clarify, in the Netherlands, confessional schools get state funding, something I am against).
Justice system: Prevention over retribution. I'd rather pay lots of taxes to keep poverty down than enjoy my wealth living in a gated community. I'm against the death penalty except in extraordinary circumstances (I don't think hanging WWII war criminals was wrong)
Healthcare: Basic free health care for all.
Education: Primary and secondary education should be free for all.
Diversity and Inclusion: Why not. Some people seem to think it's a threat. I think that's kind of pathetic.
Political Correctness: We tried, but apparently can't do without. Since Fortuyn we know for every person thwarted in raising a taboo subject for sincere discussion there were legions who were thwarted spilling their unreasoned bigotry, racism, misogeny etc. with impunity.
Refugees: Despite higher numbers, I think we should be able to cope, but some form of regulated distribution between and within countries is IMHO both needed and justified.
'Culture Clash': IMHO there's no justification why people should be different before the law based on their religion. It should be a strictly private affair.
Middle East: Impossible to have an actionable opinion on, so why bother. Safest to assume everbody's wrong and/or lying.
EU: In favour of further political and administrative integration to match the economic integration. Also in favour of further defense integration.

[20ninescene]

I decided not to engage in politics in this forum and these standpoints are not up to date.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

DOB: 4th of April 1995
Country of Residence: Belgium
Nationality: Belgium
Political Compass Result: Many of the questions don't fit how I see the world, also I don't fit anywhere on the compass since there isn't an environmentalist dimension to it and I'm very authoritarian right wing towards people with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and people who don't care about nature and left wing libertarian to people who have the capability to feel empathy and care about nature.
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: I'm nor left, centre and right and at the same time I am both right and left... just depends if you're a psycho or not But most of all I'm green!
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Radical environmentalism.
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Well, I vote for the greens, but I wish they were more radical.
Religion: Non-denominational Christian

Abortion: Yes. However I think the government should pay people with ecological credit if they get sterilised, this way less abortions will be required.
War in Iraq: Strongly against!!!!
Marijuana: Legalize it as well as all other drugs but give people the option to sign up at the government for protection which would make them permanently unable to buy it from recreational use (they still would have access to medical uses on prescription). However I think to use marijuana in other forms than being smoked
Cigarettes: Ban them, free rehab for all smokers, execute big tabacco CEO's and shareholders.
Firearms: Against!
Gay Marriage: Yes, but is it still gay marriage if we abolish gender?
Gay adoption: Yes, but they should only adopt children from families that could not care for their child or parents who passed out. We should not have surrogacy nor artificial insemination, not even for straight couples.
Polygamy: Yes, up to perhaps... 4 people, but one child policy would also apply for them.
Religion in schools: Yes but they should let the students (not parents) choose.
Meditation in schools: Yes! In my opinion they should give it 1 hour every school day. Would prevent a lot of mental health issues on a later age.
Music as a subject in school: Yes!
Death penalty: Yes but only if guilt is proven with certainty unless one is diagnosed with antisocial narcissistic or personality disorder. for all intentional crimes with a significant environmental impact such as denying climate change, obesity, intentionally starting wildfires or fires to buildings. CEO's and shareholders of oil, meat dairy and coal companies should be executed as well. Furthermore for every other crime if a person is diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder.
Free Healthcare: Yes, completely free! Except for people with ASPD
Free Education: Yes! Except for people with ASPD
Feminism: We'd better Abolish gender.
Women in the frontline: Doesn't apply for me because the military would be obsolete if there is only one country and I would abolish gender.
Transgender Military Service: Doesn't apply for me because the military would be obsolete if there is only one country and I would abolish gender.
Political Correctness: To some degree, but more importantly we also need environmental correctness. No correctness towards people with ASPD.
Immigration: Yes, but is it still immigration if the world is one country?
Refugees: Yes, you can't deny their existence. There going to be many climate refugees soon.
Islam: I'm against the polarization when it comes to the Islam vs. anti-Islam thing, I refuse to choose sides.
I think Muslims should interpret their book with a grain of salt, like I do with my bible and many Muslims do that, which is great!I don't mind people believing differently in god because if god were a mountain you'd get a completely different view on each side of the mountain and after all Islam shares the same roots and has much in common with Christianity, and to me it's just a different branch of the same tree.On the other side anti-Islamist should look to themselves first because they often tend to be the most conservative of our society something they have in common with many Muslims. Plus unlike all other religions other than Christianity Muslims believe in Jesus as well so perhaps they even go to heaven if they have a good life.


Israel/Palestine: abolish them both, we should only have one country in the world.
Syrian intervention: Well... yes... but from the perspective of uniting the world into one country. Preferably in a peaceful manner if possible.
Justice: We need a different system for empaths than for people with antisocial personality disorder. Transformative justice for empaths, and death penalty for psychos. I also think we should completely abolish prisons, death penalty is far better. If drugs are involved in the crime => rehab and make them unable to buy the drug (as mentioned earlier). If a mental disorder other than ASPD is involved => treatment of mental health problems.
Free speech: Yes except for hate speech against minorities (people with ASPD shouldn't count as a minority) and denial of environmental issues.
Freedom: Yes, as long as it doesn't damages the environment or other people's freedom. However absolute freedom does not exist in my opinion, even without laws.
Equality: Yes! Except for people with ASPD, they shouldn't even have human rights in my opinion.
Hate crime laws: Yes! Very important in my opinion. Hate towards people with ASPD is okay though.
State surveillance: Only for people diagnosed with antisocial and narcissistic personality disorder.
Euthanasia: Yes, but prevention of chronic and terminal diseases in the first place by banning sugar, cigarettes, energy drinks, meat, dairy, etc.
EU: Unity all countries into one, the EU is too small.
Money: replace it by ecological credit
Global Warming: the only thing we should wage a war against. And we should, or humanity will not survive 'till the end of this century. I'm even pro using the death penalty on many crimes to thin out the world population to reduce our impact on it.
Fossil Fuels: Ban them as quickly as possible (within a year), we've been postponing this way to long. Execute the CEO's and shareholders.
Reforestation: Yes! We should at least reforest half the planet.
Government funding of research on geoengineering against climate change: Yes, they should spend billions on this.
Nuclear energy: Against conventional nuclear energy, but pro fusion and thorium reactors, governments should fund the latter.
Meat and dairy industry: Ban it! And execute the CEO's and shareholders. It's responsible for 53% of global warming!
Privatisation of government services: Strongly against!
Free public transport: Yes, except for people with ASPD.
Castration of people with ASPD: Yes!
No marriage for people with ASPD: Yes!
One child policy: Yes! Preferably through sterilization after having a first child rather than abortion.
Obesity tax: Yes! They should tax overweight people 10% of their ecological credit income for every BMI point too much (above 25) when someone becomes obese (BMI of 30) one should get a warning and if after a year still has a too high BMI they should get death penalty. If that same person reaches the level of obesity (BMI of 30) again within 5 years they should get death penalty. When someone's BMI reaches 35 one should get punished to death immediately without warning.
Refined sugar, transfat, artificial sweeteners that are proven to cause health problems: Band them!
Torture: Yes, but only for people with ASPD and if guilt is proven with certainty. In some cases death penalty alone is just not enough to discourage some crimes for people without empathy, bear in mind not all people want to live!
Murder: Legalize it, but only if the victim has NPD or ASPD (trust me, this isn't as crazy as it sounds... if you still think it's crazy you never have been abused by a narc or psycho)
Screening the whole world population on NPD/ASPD: Yes!
Internet freedom: Yes! Except no internet access people with ASPD and NPD. Another exception is that blogs and sites promoting denial of environmental issues should be taken offline.
Copyright law: reform it into something more open similar to copyleft or creative commons. All software should be open source.
Net neutrality: Yes!
Forced treatment for people with NPD: Yes!
Animal tests: Against, we should test on people with ASPD for medical research instead.
Slavery: Yes, but only people with ASPD should be slaves. (so not based on race) Also the bible is not against slavery.
Racism: against, after all skin, hair and eye colour is just a regional adaption to latitude, there's only one human race!
Incest: Against but in my opinion, incest is only incest of offspring can possible result from sex, so not in the case of most LGTBQA+ relationships.
Democracy: We should replace it by an oligarchy of climate scientists who are selected for high levels of empathy and whose mental health is permanently monitored.
Life extension: Yes, the government should fund it, this way people will finally care about global warming!
Gambing: Against.
Boxing: Ban it!
Owning pets: Against, pets have a large ecological footprint + it's speciesist.

The Political Compass makes little sense to me. It seems to have just arbitrarily placed historical figures on the compass, leaving people like me to the left of Hitler. Many of the prompts were confusing or had strange caveats or slipped moral premises that I think I caught and tried to answer the essential question thusly. In addition, some of the prompts such as "The rich are too highly taxed" leave me agreeing and disagreeing. Although I against the income tax, taxes on speculation should be high. I think it got the authoritarian aspect correct, although many prompts could've been put forth that would make me more authoritarian, as well as some of the economic prompts being authority prompts.

Updating with more current template:


Marriage: Should be promoted and economically rewarded.
EU: Needs to be set toward different ends if I am to like it, but as of now, I think it should be destroyed.
Islam: I have a deep respect for Islam and the ability it has to avoid modernization. I oppose their immigration.
Trump: From an instrumentalist perspective, Trump has been a hopeful cultural phenomenon. I like the fact that his ascension has largely caused the Right to build parallel institutions, lending to increased polarization, and to the inevitable divorce that needs to occur.
Healthcare: Too important to be left to either the state or the market. Hybrid.
Education: My children will be home-schooled. I am for public school, but despise the institution as it is.
Immigration: No. I don't think immigrants provide to a nation's well-being. I think some immigration is fine, but a very small amount with limited access to public amenities.
Women in the frontline: No. They serve little utility in that role and are too valuable in other domains to serve in combat.
Feminism: I'm opposed to all forms of it.

On the Issues

(listed in order of personal priority) Global Warming: is real, is anthropogenic, requires a primary school level of science to understand, is at the top of this list for a reason. It may be too late to reverse all of the effects but we should still take strong and immediate action to mitigate the damage. Unless climate is your research specialty, your opinion on whether or not global warming exists is about as meaningful as your opinion on whether or not gravity exists. Environmental Engineering: has a longer history than most people are aware of and mostly consists of massive, unintended consequences. We are already engineering the environment by pumping C12 into the atmosphere, we may as well employ carbon negative solutions to mitigate the impact, but beyond that, I'm skeptical of most large scale engineering solutions and give preference towards simply stopping whatever actives are harming the environment in the first place. Elections: are one of the top issues for me, a meta issue if you will, I will always support the party that wants to register more people to vote, that doesn't purge voter rolls, doesn't pass unnecessary voter ID laws, doesn't draw mathematically unfair and unreasonable voting districts, doesn't shut down mail-in voting drop boxes during a pandemic, doesn't try to throw out ballots, and, it should probably go without saying, doesn't try to physically storm the capitol to prevent the certification of elections. Elections are sacred. They don't always go my way (try never, living in Texas) but people must have faith in the process. Currently in the US, we have a situation where one side of the political spectrum wants to strengthen elections and the other side would be OK with installing a dictator for life - the choice, for me, is obvious. Bureaucracy: is great and should be strengthened. Bureaucracy is what makes a democracy work and makes the government more resistant to bribery. When people talk about "cutting red tape", what they really mean is making it easier for corporate interests to line the pockets of fewer key people, fewer whistle blowers, fewer specialists who know the risks associated with corrupt deals. This is why corporate interests like propping up dictators in the Third World - easier to get corrupt deals through. A robust bureaucracy is a healthy part of society. Healthcare: should be single-payer, Americans are unknowingly already paying for poor people's medical expenses in the form of insanely high insurance premiums and hospital bills, when people who can't pay and don't have insurance show up at the hospital that cost gets put onto the people who do pay their insurance and hospital bills, but since insurance companies make money by fighting claims and the government isn't paying for any of it, there is no regulation of medical costs so treatment, testing, pharmaceuticals and etc. all go through the roof. The Affordable Care act was nothing but a hand out to the insurance industry and now the situation is so bad that 10% of Americans can't afford health insurance especially when the insurance predictably refuses cover a damn thing. The rest of the Americans are one economic downturn away from losing their job and hence their health insurance. A single-payer system is much more efficient and better for the economy as a whole because people don't go bankrupt at their first medical emergency. People in single payer systems spend less, on the whole, on healthcare than people in the US - it's just that the US is a lottery, you can get away with paying nothing at all but if you get sick or injured you're screwed. Increase taxes slightly for single-payer so that people don't get gouged by insurance companies and hospitals, you end up saving money overall. Public Education: Yes. Neither the government nor the private sector should make a profit on student debt. Admissions should be more selective and we should reevaluate the paradigm that everyone in society needs a 4-year degree. A necessary part of this is dramatically improving public secondary education and public (not scam private) vocational schools. Primary and secondary educator salaries should be closer to $100k with degrees required. Schools should be able to afford this, as well as all necessary books and supplies, as well as being able to stay open 5 days a week (which incredibly they can't in some (R)ed states) because they should get enough tax funding. I'm almost of the opinion that private religious schools should be illegal because, having gone to them myself, the quality of the education is about the same and a lot of time is spent on religious indoctrination and the main purpose of such schools is to segregate students based on race. Public Welfare: the constitution of the US guarantees all citizens the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Key to these is public healthcare, public education, and public housing. All of these things are not only affordable, but significantly cheaper than our current crime-ridden police state which is the natural result of having a large percentage of the population destitute in the streets. I would prefer to share the public space with all of my fellow citizens, rather than be locked away in some gated community or private ranch riding out the apocalypse (although I've come to realize this is actually many Americans' dream scenario). Religion in Schools: should only be taught in a historical and current events context, but should not be presented as doctrine. We need fewer private religious schools so that people invest in common public education. Justice System: courts shouldn't accept pleas just to reduce case load, there shouldn't be 5-year backlogs in major cities, there should be money from the state to expand the court system as necessary, public defenders should get paid better and have a more centralized office like the state prosecutor's office, police officers should have a 3- or 4-year vocational degree in law enforcement instead of a couple months' training, white collar financial crimes should be punished just as severely as violent crimes as their effects are usually more widespread Death Penalty: strongly against, given the number of provably innocent people Texas and other states execute every year, this one should be a no-brainer Financial Regulation: there should not be double jeopardy across multiple government agencies, at the same time, the court should not accept settlements for high profile financial crimes - there should be jail time when average people's lives are ruined, we need more not fewer federal regulators, market transparency needs to be top priority otherwise we're just running a glorified casino Wars in the Middle East: strongly against, energy execs making a profit selling oil to East Asia has a negligible impact on the US economy and isn't worth the lives lost, the public debt incurred, or the irrevocable damage to governments in the Middle East (which used to be mostly stable democracies and are now unstable autocracies) State Surveillance: Only targeted against organized crime. We currently have lazily installed police surveillance cameras all over the US that people on reddit can apparently hack into. The government may be somewhat competent with this technology, but local law enforcement sure isn't and that creates a potential national security risk in its own right. For the most part, local law enforcement should not get hand-me-downs from the military - we need community police, not military police. Abortion: should be completely legal in all cases, it's not like people have abortions for fun or for money (one of the more heinous lies the right has come up with), up to 20% of conceptions result in natural miscarriages so it makes no sense to base your argument on the "potential personhood" of the fetus or its status with the divinity or some such, the idea that abortion has anything to do with eugenics is tin-foil-hat insanity and not worth serious discussion Marijuana: should be just as legal as alcoholic beverages which contribute to way more traffic fatalities Firearms: should be heavily and strictly regulated. Automatic, semi-automatic, and any weapons that can be easily modified to be made automatic or semi-automatic should be banned. Ammunition should be heavily taxed and military style ammunition should be banned. High capacity magazines should be banned. Gun safes should be regulated and enforced. There should be a registry of all legal gun owners so that people can't buy legally and then sell black market. Owners should have to show proof of possession before purchasing more weapons and there should be a household limit. Selling guns for cash without a registry record should be a federal crime. If these regulations infringe on the constitution of the US, then the constitution should be amended. Hobbyists have no rights and yet most of this debate revolves around hobbyists and their deadly toys. Guns are rarely used for self defense and gun owners are more likely to be the victims of gun violence than non-owners. Guns are a placebo for a lot of people that make them feel safer while actually making their household and society as a whole considerably less safe. Guns are not used to safeguard the people against tyranny - ffs, the gun nuts just tried to overthrow the US government to install a dictator. The closest we ever get to seeing guns used against "the government" is Jared Loughner. The fact that we have a Third World gun homicide rate while Japan has practically 0 is evidence enough that something needs to be done. Gay Marriage: should be completely legal, as far as the government is concerned, marriage should simply be a legal contract between two consenting adults, I'm not sure tax incentives should even be involved Gay Adoption: should be completely legal, adoption agencies already conduct background research on couples regardless of their sexual orientation Feminism: Yes. Women in Combat: Yes. Transgender Military Service: Yes. Immigration: I'm not opposed to stricter qualification rules for immigrating to the US or Sweden. I think Japan and Switzerland have it about right. Refugees: It would be explicitly unconstitutional, not to mention unethical and practically impossible, for the US to prioritize refugees on the basis of religion. Islam: Is a religion and hence I'm opposed to it on principle. I look forward to the day that religion is only discussed in a historical/fantasy context. Israel/Palestine: Is not the business of the US or Europe and as such, we should not be sending them military aid as if they were our proxy state. Hate Crime Laws: people seem to be ignoring the fact that there are still standards of due process for convicting someone of a hate crime. It's not like hate itself is the crime. There are reasons why enhanced penalties were needed for crimes that are motivated by dangerous anti-social ideologies. The historical context is still important today. Euthanasia: Should be completely legal. EU: Is a good thing. Should probably become a military alliance. Sweden should probably join the currency union. The social democracies in Europe and the Commonwealth aren't perfect, but they still have a lot to teach the US about responsible government that's beholden to its citizens instead of corporate interests. Patriotism: I think we should be proud of our country for what it does right for its citizens and for the rest of the world. We shouldn't be proud of our country because of how many F35s we have, i.e. how good we are at bombing people. Politicians shouldn't get any respect by literally hugging the flag. Using our flag as a garment doesn't make you a patriot. Making things that benefit society, helping your neighbor, voting, wearing a mask in a pandemic - these things make you a patriot. Political Correctness: You should have the right to say whatever you want in a public forum. Private companies' servers and chat rooms are not public forums, so if you're going to break their rules, they reserve the right to moderate your speech. The irony of right-wingers decrying "P.C. culture" and then only congregating in the most heavily-moderated, dissent-suppressing chat rooms on the web should not be lost on anyone. Yes, there exist annoying people on the internet who call for "canceling" celebrities and etc. I don't consider this to be one of the most pressing issues of our time except in the context of it being weaponized by the right to convince politically-uninformed people that the left is somehow anti-free speech.
