Introduction
Matteel has been a lurker on the subreddit ever since 2021, and around summer started being active on it. I've contributed to both r/polcompball and to r/polcompballanarchy and I'm flaired as Social Democracy on the offical subreddit.

How did I find polcompball?
It all started back in the summer of 2016, when I was browsing youtube and got recommend a video titled "Alternate future of the world" by a channel called Romanian Mapping, which featured aforementioned balls. This peaked my interest and quickly became one of my interests, which served as my entry to the polandball fandom. Around in summer 2017 I got recommended a video by a content creator named "ISorrowProductions", which served as my entry to strategy games and Hearts of Iron 4, to which I bought back in November of 2017. I stopped watching mapping content back in early 2018 because the content was getting pretty stale, but I still liked Country balls and its fandom. Around 2020, I recommended a video called "The political compass rap" by a content creator known as "Jreg" (which many of you here most definitely know). This served as my entry into the polcompball fandom, I would quietly lurk around the subreddit back in early 2021. I created my (new, deleted my 2016 account because I was just not proud of a lot of the stuff I said) reddit account back in 2021 and started using it mid summer.

Ideology: Social Democracy

[[File:Unitary.png]]Government[[File:Federal.png]]
Mattism is an ideology that believes in a parliamentary democracy. I also want to give third parties a chance so a duopoly isn't created like in the United States between  the republican party and  the democratic party, people should be allowed to vote up to 2 different parties, by doing this, it allows people to vote for a major party they don't outright agree with but allows them to vote for another party that they do agree with so you can have your cake and eat it too. But political parties that are outright hate groups should be banned and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, as it's a threat to our democracy, way of life, and how free societies fall. Mattism also believes that national governments should have more power than local governments, but local governments still play an important role in managing local communities.

Based

 * [[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy [[File:Sanders.png]] - My ideology, self explanatory.


 * [[File:Progress.png]] Progressivism - Very based cultural values, and fighting for disability rights is based too, although some of you guys take it too far and can be annoying, way more tolerable than conservatives.


 * [[File:Nordmodel.png]] Nordic Model - Based and nordicpilled (just drop the [[File:Conmon.png]] Monarchy stuff please).


 * [[File:Thar.png]] Anti-Authoritarianism - Authoritarianism is bad, and so is political extremism.


 * [[File:Laicism.png]] Secularism - Religion has no place in government, although people have a right to practice their beliefs freely without being forced to adhere to any belief set. And the government has no right favoring any religion or atheism.


 * [[File:Reform.png]] Reformism - Reformism is the best way to achieve political change and revolutions more often than not just leave the country in a worse state and it's completely unncessary.


 * [[File:Dem.png]] Democracy - The LEAST worst system created.


 * [[File:Orlib.png]] Ordo-Liberalism - You're pretty okay, I'll give you that.


 * [[File:Soclib.png]] Social Liberalism - I was you not too long ago. You're pretty good too. But times have changed.


 * [[File:Marketsoc.png]] Market Socialism - One of the best socialists, he realizes the importance of markets.


 * [[File:Long.png]] Longism - Every man a king, every man a king! (but I don't like your authoritarianism)


 * [[File:Socliber.png]] Social Libertarianism - Most tolerable libertarian. Although don't think UBI will work and centralization of the government is needed.


 * [[File:Gay.png]] LGBT - I fully support whatever you guys are doing, [[File:Trans.png]]TRANS RIGHTS!!!

Bringe

 * [[File:Cap.png]] Capitalism - Capitalism is a good system but needs regulation and state intervention to ensure that it stays fair.


 * [[File:Soc.png]] Socialism - Just because I agree with some of your policies doesn't mean I'm socialist or want socialism, I just want regulated capitalism with welfare policies.


 * [[File:Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism - Atleast you guys vote for Bernie, still not a big fan of this socialism stuff.


 * [[File:Leftpop-0.png]] Left-Wing Populism - On one hand, it's a useful tool to rally people for a cause, on the other, it just devolves into politicians saying what people want to hear and then not following through and leads to a cult of personality.


 * [[File:Patcon.png]] Paternalistic Conservatism - Why be conservative? Otherwise your economics are based.


 * [[File:Hcon.png]] LGBT Conservatism [[File:Homocon.png]] - Why side with people who want to take away your rights? Just because you're culturally left-wing on one topic does not mean I will accept your ideology.


 * [[File:Bhl.png]] Progressive Libertarianism - You're okay for a libertarian, free market capitalism is still cringe however.

Cringe

 * [[File:Conserv.png]] Conservatism - What are you conserving exactly? You've not only conserved anything of worth, but you're slowly losing as well, how does that feel?


 * [[File:Plcn2.png]] Paleoconservatives - Wow and I thought regular conservatives are bad, THIS on the other hand is just another way of saying you're a fascist without actually saying you're a fascist.


 * [[File:Christianright.png]] The Evangelical Right - All of you guys are just hypocrites. You just use your religion as an excuse to preach hate and then wonder why people are turning away from religion, and not only that, you guys feel the need to impose your world view onto others by fearmongering to which anyone with a brain and older than 12 can realize you're full of it. Stop trying to force your morality onto me and calling everything you dislike "degenerate", you guys can't even stay morally consistent yourselves, so you're nobody to talk about "morality" (which by your definition just equals anything you don't like). Morality is entirely subjective anyways, so your point is mute.


 * [[File:Fiscon.png]] Fiscal Conservatism - FDR was based.


 * [[File:RepubUS.png]] The Republican party - Party for the rich. Also stop trying to take away my civil liberties in the name of "Tradition". Half of your Anti-Gay Politicians are just secretly [[File:Hcon.png]] Gay in private anyways.


 * [[File:Demcr.png]] The Democratic Party - Just because Republicans are bad doesn't mean I like democrats, you guys are identical and conspired against Bernie Sanders! If you weren't the only other choice other than [[File:RepubUS.png]] republicans then I would not endorse you guys.


 * File:Trad.png Boomers - Tradition is just pressure from dead people, society needs to progress forwards from these archaic cultural norms.


 * [[File:Confem.png]] Karens - HOW MUCH TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU KAREN!? THEY AREN'T TRYING TO MICROCHIP YOU AND VACCINES DON'T CAUSE AUTISM! Where did you even get this information from anyways? [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] him?


 * [[File:Consocf.png]] Conservative Socialism - Aren't you just Tucker Carlson?


 * [[File:Reactcross.png]] Reactionaries - Have you not touched grass ever since conception?


 * [[File:Necon.png]] Neoconservatism - Stop wasting our tax paying dollars on pointless military interventions, you call yourself conservative but you focus more on global intervention policy than you do conserving.


 * [[File:Nation.png]] All Nationalists - Tool of the elite that people sheepishly by into, nothing more, nothing less.


 * [[File:Whitesup.png]] [[File:Ethno.png]] Racists [[File:Racenat.png]] [[File:Ethnonat.png]] - Particularly the worst nationalists. Imagine using your race to justify discrimination against other people, how pityful of a person you must be.


 * [[File:Lolbert.png]] Most Libertarians [[File:Misestard.png]]- Don't you realize free market capitalism just leads to [[File:Corp.png]] Crony Capitalism.


 * [[File:Libcon.png]] Libertarian Conservatism - You're just a republican who wants to smoke weed. Also how are you going to enforce these cultural values without a strong state?


 * [[File:Minarchist.png]] Minarchists - Ew *dies from cringe*


 * [[File:Catheo.png]] [[File:Christy.png]] All Theocracies [[File:Muslim_2.png]] [[File:Shia.png]] - Yeah, no. It's my freedom to believe in whatever I want to believe in.


 * [[File:StateathFedora.png]] State Atheism - You guys aren't even real atheists, you just replace religion for a worship cult. And for the same reason your cringe as theocracy it's my right to believe in whatever I want.


 * [[File:Confess.png]] Confessionalism - Religion does NOT belong in government.


 * [[File:Marxlen.png]] Tankies - You tankies have the audacity to call us fascists when your ideology has killed millions.


 * [[File:Eugen.png]] Ableists - I'd rather not be killed because of how I was born, ableist prick.


 * [[File:Nazi.png]] Nazis - How's the weather like down there in hell?


 * [[File:Fash.png]] Fascists - Fascism is a disease, and its cure is knowledge.


 * [[File:Monarch.png]] All Monarchies - Down with monarchy.


 * [[File:SJW.png]] SJWs [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] - You guys are neither progressive or woke. You give the progressive left a bad name and a strawman (that's used WAY too much) by rightoids to make us look bad, SJWS and progressives are NOT THE SAME!


 * [[File:Dengf.png]] Dengism - *Insert tiananmen square copypasta here*
