Creator Note
It's been fun here, but by the time you've read this, I've probably already have left. Why is this? Well, It's actually simple. This community is full of uninspired larping political edgelords who would never last a single second in their ideal society. You have people worshipping horrible dictators like Hitler, Stalin, Xi Jinping, ect. You get tired of seeing it after a while because it does take a mental toll on you, which can be seen with how some members within this community went from having relatively normal ideologies to becoming completely unrecognizable due to the toxic influences of this community. While I'm not completely innocent in all of this, I learned from the mistakes I made and changed my behavior accordingly, you can't say the same thing about most of the political edgelords here. So, yeah, It's for the best I leave this toxic despot. I'll be happy and smoking the PCB pack once this community dies. Also, I want to thank that one neo-nazi whose name  I won't mention, the old folks here will remember what happened all that time ago. Looking back at everything, I genuinely laugh. I know it sounds weird saying this, because this would be one of the reasons why I would leave, but I guess I just have stockholm syndrome. Anyways, I eyed this community sometime back in January of 2021, and I actually had an account on the FANDOM site before it got 1984'd. I'll be leaving roughly 2 years after I first found this community. Am I leaving politics entirely? No, I'll go out and vote on ballot initiatives I deem important enough to vote on and read the news, but I won't be as involved as I was previously. So yeah, that's it. It was fun looking back at everything that has happened, being here has opened my eyes to so much political view points and I feel as if I came out as a better person because of it due to the fact that I know what to avoid and how to not fall down rabbit holes that don't serve my interests.

Political Phases
Apolitical Period (2003 - 2012)

I know, It's crazy. My childhood had no mention of politics because I wasn't even able to grasp the idea of politics. None of us start political and I was no exception. Apolitical Social Liberalism Period (2012 - 2016)
 * Ideologies

I still didn't hold a good idea of what our political climate was, but I voiced my support for Obama's candidacy. This was largely because my parents were solidly blue voters, which obviously influenced a lot of my opinions at the time. Although, I lost interest after the election and stop caring up until 2016, but still held vague liberal ideas throughout this period.

Apolitical Social Democracy Period (2016 - 2017)

This is were my political journey truly began. When the election came around, I was old enough to understand our political climate in some limited contexts, which allowed to form the views I held on politics on my own. So, I found myself hating both the candidates Trump and Hillary. However, I found myself discovering politicians like Bernie Sanders who I found quite likable and agreeable. So, I followed them for a little bit until the election was over, which was when I went right back to being apolitical. However, my political journey doesn't end here obviously, because it all came tumbling down when I discovered political videos.

Alt-Lite Phase (2017 - 2019)

So, as much as a cringe looking back at this now. I had an alt-lite phase, this came from watching "anti-sjw" videos on youtube. So, as you can imagine, I was hostile to things like feminism and transgender people, but still thought abortion rights were cool. Overall, it was confusing and I really dislike this bit of my political journey, I was your average counter-culture atheist at the time who just didn't like political correctness.

Moderating My Views (2019 - Mid 2021)

After the shitstorm that was my beliefs during my alt-lite phase started to settle down because of the environment and mindset I was in shifted, I started to become less hostile to things like feminism and warmed up to progressive ideals. Although, I still hated things like political correctness and identity politics, but still found myself disagreeing with the majority of conservative view points. It was also around this time I stopped being transphobic. I just became way more mature in my beliefs, it was also around this time I watched some breadtube content which also influenced my ideas.

Progressive Social Democrat Phase (Mid 2021 - Mid 2022)

After warming up to progressive ideals for a long time, I started to go down progressive rabbit holes and became more socially progressive. I held progressive ideas on things like feminism, gay rights, and started to embrace things like multiculturalism. So, I was your average progressive, a self-described progressive left-populist social democrat. Although, I started to realize that I was abandoning my original beliefs when I started to buy into socially progressive idpol, which made me realize that I had to take a step back.

Modern Period (Mid 2022+)

So, as you can imagine, this is the modern period of my beliefs. I took a complete 180 to were I was previously, although I adopted some new ideals, and it felt really good to do so. It felt as if I betrayed some of my previous values going into the phase I did and I came out better because of it. I abandoned populism sometime during November of this year and adopted Georgism. So, I'm basically your average left-liberal, and that's the end of my political journey.

Ideological Philosophy
I am a philosophical existentialist. More specifically, an existential atheist, since my philosophy is rejecting any transcendental or religious beliefs. So, I am an atheist, I do not believe in god or any form of spirituality, nor am I religious. I'm specifically a positive atheist. I reject the idea of god existing because it assumes how we came to be since it is essentially used as a placeholder for the explanation of our origin which we will never know. I also by extension reject all religions. I take an anti-foundational approach to this and reject all form of metaphysical theories since they are  essentialistic because they assume how the universe operates on. I do not endorse materialism for the same reason, I would call myself a  philosophical postmaterialist. I believe that moral agents are guided by their own emotions and  ideals to create meaning in their life using  free will. I'm opposed to pessimism, since  life doesn't have a purpose, we can create that purpose. This would make morality subjective because of how we use our free will to create meanings in our lives differs from person to person. Your own ideals and morals should be used for decision making instead of rationality, which regards human reason as the chief source of knowledge. In this regard, I am opposed to philosophies like humanism because it regards humans as the starting point for rational decision making, this is no different from religion and is replacing god with man, so I am an  anti-humanist. How I choose to create meaning in my life is through hedonism, which is a form of  philosophical individualism and  ethical consequentialism that states that one's own  pleasure is the deciding factor if an action is morally right or wrong. What do I mean by pleasure? Since pleasure has a lot of different meanings, in these instances, I would be talking about sensual pleasures like masturbating. The only comment I will make on this is that people have tastes, and going into such would make this page NSFW, so I won't do that. I take a socially constructivistic outlook on life, since pointless social constructs that only hold back my  individualism are of no worth to me. These would make my social views de-facto progressive because of my  live and let live attitude due to me not caring if an action is  harming another individual. If you let me enjoy what I'm doing, I'll let you enjoy what you're doing, even if I personally find it disgusting. I get some of my influences from post-modernism, but I wouldn't call myself a post-modernist. Simply because of the culture that associated with postmodernism today

Based

 * [[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - My ideology, no need to explain further.
 * [[File:Prog.png]] Progressivism - You have the right idea on a lot of cultural issues, but your solutions tend to become worse the more developed an area you get placed into. I prefer paleoprogressivism.
 * [[File:OldLeft.png]] Old Leftism - The left and its obsession with meaningless culture war and identity politics has been a mistake.
 * [[File:Paleoprog.png]] Paleoprogressivism - My form of progressivism.
 * [[File:Modprog.png]] Moderate Progressivism - My cultural views. Some traditions are worth preserving. I just don't like idpol and other woke things associated with modern day progressivism.
 * [[File:Natprog.png]] National Progressivism - The true progressive.
 * [[File:Progconf.png]] Progressive Conservatism - We need to account for traditions worth keeping.
 * [[File:Leftnat.png]] Left-Wing Nationalism - Kick out all neo-colonalists. Freedom for the people!
 * [[File:Thar.png]] Anti-Authoritarianism - Death to all unjust authority, freedom for the people!
 * [[File:Globnat.png]] Alter-Globalization - We need a world were the global economy works for all, not the few.
 * [[File:Fem.png]] Feminism - Fighting for the rights of both sexes is important. It's a shame what TERFs and libfems have done to give modern day feminism a bad name. The amount of people I see supporting feminist ideas while not calling themselves a feminist is hilarious, I was like that too.
 * [[File:Socfem.png]] Social Feminism - My form of feminism.
 * [[File:Geokitty.png]] Georgism - Our admiration of cats and taxing land is based, even if you lack the regulatory side.
 * [[File:Anin.png]] Anarcho-Individualism - The collective is nothing without the individual, but you cannot say the same for the reserve. But in all seriousness, while this is a neat concept, this would never work in reality, still my favorite anarchist ideology.
 * [[File:Civilib.png]] Civil Liberalism - The harm principle is based, society would be nothing about you. You're basically my view towards civic issues.
 * [[File:Corptism.png]] Corporatism - Your general ideas are good. Anti-globalization, economic nationalism, and state-controlled economy.
 * [[File:Social corpratism.png]] Social Corporatism - Even better!
 * [[File:Keynes.png]] Keynesianism - I owe everything to you! I specifically like your new keynesian variant.
 * [[File:Protect.png]] Protectionism - We want our jobs back, although I prefer your fair-trade variant because you tend to make goods unreasonably expensive, better than the average globetard.
 * [[File:FDRismF.png]] New Deal Liberalism - You are the true form of social liberalism, this should be the dominant form of liberalism in the West, not the third-way version.

Neutral

 * [[File:Cermon.png]] Ceremonial Monarchism - Monarchs are cringe. But, I really don't care about them so long as they aren't oppressive, still don't like them and wouldn't cry if they were abolished but I just don't care either way.
 * [[File:Lpop.png]] Left-Wing Populism - Look, populism is something I do not stand against, but you're often a puppet of demagogues who don't have the best interests of the people at heart. Although, I tend to trust left-pops more than right-pops for reasons that are obvious. But still, I'm not fond of populism.
 * [[File:Soclib.png]] Social Liberalism - The base ideology alone is actually good, so you're not bad. But, your modern day adherents are too neoliberal for my liking.
 * [[File:Isolation.png]] Isolationism - On domestic affairs, most regional alliances, and the military, you have the right idea on foreign policy. However, sometimes intervention is needed, like what could've been seen with America entering WW2, and sealing yourself off from the world completely isn't what I'm aiming for.
 * [[File:Libsoc.png]] Libertarian Socialism - Stop violating poperty rights.

Cringe

 * [[File:Conservative.png]] Conservatism - Just because I'm opposed to the politically correct status quo doesn't mean I support you. At least the woke crowd evolves with time to learn and are heading in the right direction, you're so indoctrinated you have yet to open your eyes.
 * [[File:SJW.png]] SJWism - Fuck you for turning modern day progressivism into a joke. I'm socially permissive, but your obsession with focusing on identities and cancel culture undermine all of my values. This is why I prefer paleoprogressivism.
 * [[File:Fash.png]] Fascism - Being an edgy teenager who just discovered politics is not a political ideology.
 * [[File:Nazi.png]] National Socialism - Even worse than the above, with even worse modern day followers. I don't have to particularly explain why I'm opposed to Nazism and Neo-Nazism, now do I?
 * [[File:ML.png]] Marxism-Leninism - You're basically no better than the fascists, collectivism in all of its forms must be strongly opposed.
 * [[File:Dengf.png]] Dengism - China is not transitioning to Market Socialism, and is an authoritarian capitalist country. Xi Jing Ping has undone all of the good liberal reforms to the country and is going back towards Mao's era of totalitarianism. Free Hong Kong and Taiwan.
 * [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalism - I don't care if you respect individualism, you're a plague in the West that is driving free-market economic liberalism and all of the wealth going into the hands of top business owners. I pray on your downfall, death to the neoliberal status quo!
 * [[File:React.png]] Reactionarism - Have you ever considered the fact that maybe you are the degenerate? Also, stop jerking off to traps and leave your house once in a while before you call me a degenerate.
 * [[File:Necon.png]] Neoconservatism - Just die.
 * [[File:Altl.png]] Alt-Lite - I genuinely resent my past so much. Go back to the basement were you belong you edgy child.
 * [[File:Altr.png]] Alt-Right - You can't point towards a more sadder group of people than this, now can you? Like, seriously, how are you revolting against the modern world when your search history is drawn porn? Also, to no one's surprise, your followers are all toxic and unpleasant to talk to.
 * [[File:Patcon.png]] Paternalistic Conservatism - PiS and Lukashenko are cancer.
 * [[File:World.png]] Globalism - You will be the death of workers rights and our national identity. Death to all globetards, if you advocate for this you are dead to me.
 * [[File:Multicult.png]] Multiculturalism - You've caused nothing but chaos for any society you're practiced under.
 * [[File:Antifa.png]] Antifa - Woke authoritarian moralists. I'm obviously opposed to fascism on an ideological and philosophical level, but you guys are a bunch of domestic terrorists. WW2 anti-fascist partisans would kill themselves if they saw the state anti-fascism is in.
 * [[File:Annil.png]] Anarcho-Nihilism - You're intellectual laziness codified into an ideology, grow up.
