WORK IN PROGRESS

Abortion
I'll get one of my few Conservative Beliefs out of the way, I am Pro-Life, I believe Human Life begins at conception and therefore is sacred the moment it is concieved. Even under cases of rape I still am against abortion. The only case Abortion should be legal is when the mother's life is in danger, as we all have the right to put our wellbeing over the other.

Guns
Guns are a sacred part of American Culture. Guns are a symbol of private property and protecting what is yours. Other than the cultural part of it, Guns are a great way of protecting yourself. If there's a shooting, you have a much higher chance of survival if you actually have something to defend yourself with. "Oh but without Gun Laws, Shooters would be able to get a hold of these weapons too!" If someone is so unhinged that they are planning to kill people for the sake of it, gun laws aren't going to get in the way of them getting guns. Just ban auto weapons and let me keep my AR-15, okay?

Drugs
We should legalize all drugs. Yes, all of them. If we legalized drugs, large Cartels would be put out of buisness or forced into a legal spotlight. No one is going to sell a legal product in an illegal setting. If we legalize drugs it would be easier to regulate consumption and age. It's the same thing as the prohibition, we banned alcohal and what ended up happening was alcoholism went up, it was left unregulated, and worst of all, it funded illicit buisnesses who, without a legal framework, killed and robbed and tortured and raped to get their way.

Borders
I advocated for open borders. Not Borderless, but open borders. I believe that people who want to be able to get into the country should be able to as long as they aren't involved in illicit buisness and don't have a large criminal past (large being anyone with a felony). The Job Market is bigger like never before, and I've never met anyone harder-working than immigrants. Abolish the ICE.

Secularism or Religious
I'm agnostic, if there is a god there is, if there isn't there isn't, preists, pastors or whatever religious leaders have no place in government unless they are working on a secular, non-religious platform.

Electoral College or Direct Voting.
Presidents should be elected by the people, not through some strange, barely functioning, ancient system introduced in a time where you had to own property to vote. The fact that someone with a minority vote can win in baffling.

Women's Rights.
Womens are equal to men, they can do everything men can do. In terms of modern day feminism, it's a big meh for me, I think of course companies are going to favor male workers in grueling work positions but that's something we can change if we got more women in there showing that they can work hard. Great to see more women in power though.

LGBTQ+ Rights
Homophobia is a big problem today, and I think people don't even realise it. I hate how people think gay people are like ultra-flamboyant pink dress wearing assholes who want to fuck every man around them, when in reality they're just normal people that have a different sexual prefrence.

And Trans People?
People need to leave others alone. If I think I'm a man or I'm a woman than I am and I have the right to get a surgery to change that.

Sex Work
If someone wants to sell their body they should be able to. Sex Work is Work! It's amazing how you can offer sex for free but can't do that for money.

Trade
Trade is needed for any nations survival. Not only that, but it helps put down prices, create jobs and makes people and nations rich in the process. It puts down prices by allowing exchange of cheaper labor and also creates supply of consumer goods and natural recourses which of course puts down the cost of those items. It creates jobs by allowing foreign companies to set up shop in countries all over, including ours, and creating jobs. And of course, trade would mean increased buisness which mean people who own those buisnesses will be getting rich, all the while letting consumers pour money into the economy. But how do we encourage corporations to come?

Deregulation and Laissez-Faire
We should almost completely deregulate the economy. If we put down regulation, more companies will see that it's easier to set up buisness and will be more likely to come over. Overall I think if we just let the market do it's thing, it'll regulate itself with little to no Government Regulation needed.

Workers Protection?
Barely needed. Other than a few rules, companies will HAVE to respect their workers. I'm fine with unionization and I think if a company is mistreating it's workers the worker has every right to strike (note: no obstructing private property) or leaving. A company has an incentive to treat it's workers well because that ensures that workers won't leave. If I'm a hardworking employee a company is going to pay me more because my work is valuable and worth keeping me around. The argument could be made that a big corporation wouldn't care about hard-workers because they'd have a surplus that it wouldn't matter. Well that's a good thing because that would incentive people to go search for smaller buisnesses who are more likely to care because of the latter.

Minimum Wage
As someone who has worked before, I can say that minimum wage hurts both workers and companies far more than it helps. It is not fair that if I'm a low skill worker who's work is worth $5 per hour that I can't be employed because minimum wage is $9. We deny low-skill workers training and experience because their work is never worth more than $6. Abolish it (but you still have to pay for labour).

Housing and Property Rights
I'm a staunch YIMBY, I believe that I can do anything I want on my property because it's MINE. If I want to build a prison, or a strip club on my property I don't have to go to some Council to ask permission. I do believe that we should have a Land Value Tax, meanin that we should tax people on account of the value of their land excluding things built upon it. Why? Mainly to help prevent cities being owned by entire corporations, which would already be nearly impossible to do if the market is working as it should.

Taxes and the Welfare Replacementt
I believe that a Flat Tax would be benificial. It keeps it so the rich are paying more while also keeping it fair. I still think that percentage should be put to the lowest we can, but the idea of abolishing taxes is stupid. We need taxes to run our government, emergency services, law systems, etc. The N.I.T was an idea made popular by Milton Friedman which is similar to U.B.I, which is to take money (from the flat tax) from people above a certain payroll, and give it to people below a certain payroll. This helps impoverished people without having to make them meet a man, sit through their questioning, so they can be part of a broken system. N.I.T is a great replacement for welfare, which is a HELP (it's not to live off of, just to help with the month's groceries) while not falling into the welfare trap.

Interventionism
I am a Liberal Hawk through and through. It is America's job to keep the world at peace and stop tyrants from taking hold. America's modern day role has found new purpose after Ukraine, and that is to protect sovreign nations from their tyrannical neighbors. Russia and China are great menaces to freedom and liberalism. We should take a cautious approach to them but they are ultimately enemies of the United States.

My Stance on Russia
My Stance on Russia is that of cautious aggresion. Russia is very clearly our enemy and we are their enemy. After Ukraine, America has proven that it will not sit by and watch as Russia invades it's neighbors. On Ukraine, even if Ukraine was some NATO puppet government (which it isn't, the majority of Ukranians are PRO-WESTERN Pro-EU people), Russia CANNOT invade a sovreign nation, a nation which, despite Putin will tell you, has a glourious history and beautiful culture, not some Russian Vassal State. And just because a region has a majority Russian Ethnic Population, doesn't mean they're Russian. These people were born in Ukraine, speak Ukrainian and, as shown with this invasion, are willing to fight for Ukraine with their lives, which I'm sure is something Russia cannot say for itself. Fuck Putin and Fuck anyone who agrees with Putin, he is a war criminal, a fear-mongerer, murderer scumbag that will go to the pit of hell with the rest of the evil men in history.

My Stance on China
My Stance on China is the stance we've held on it even since the 80s. China is a great trade partner, China is a recourse rich nation and of great benifit to America. China is also our biggest rival and arguably, our biggest threat. While Russia could be seen as a Declining Power, especially with the laughing stock they've made of themselves in Ukraine, China still has the biggest Navy in the World, one of the biggest armies, and a GDP that is about to topple America's. But China has a weakness, a weakness America doesn't have, a weakness that has arguably been keeping America and China from war all these years. China depends on America and the Western Nations, as we make up most of China's industry, and while yes, halted trade with China would really hurt America's Economy, the companies can leave, they can move their industry and factories to Canada, Latin America, Vietnam, etc. China can't do that because they are the shop. If the consumers (the west) don't like the shop they will find other shops, and China isn't the only Shop.

My Stance on Vietnam
You might be curious on why Vietnam has a section next to Russia and China, and that's because Vietnam is different. While Vietnam and the West are very different, Vietnam is a Socialist Nation after all, Vietnam is hostile to their sister nation to the north. Vietnam was invaded by China in 1979 because of Vietnam's Invasion of Cambodia, but that was an excuse because China actually had a fairly large Border Dispute with Vietnam, leading to them trying to take it. What endedup happening was an embarrasment where a good amount of Chinese people died, and a smaller amount of Vietnamese people died. China got squat other than a few dead soldiers, and a loss of prestige. Vietnam and China have been fairly hostile to eachother ever since, leading Vietnam to get closer to America. I think Vietnam could be a very useful ally in South-East Asia not because of similar ideology, but because of mutual benifit, similar to Russia and China's friendliness to eachother.

My Stance on Military Spending
While I am all for the U.S spending money on military, I am a firm believe that those nations that can spend money on their own militaries (aka Most of Western and Central Europe and Japan), should be funding their own militaries, not America. Ever wonder why America spends so much on Military? Most of it goes to our allies in Europe and Asia, which again I'm not against, we own the bases their, we have to pay for those, but why should we be funding Germany's Military because we own a few bases for our soldiers? Overall, it's important, but could be cut.

Crimea and the Donbass.
They're all Ukrainian unless there is a legitimate poll showing people in those regions want to be part of Russia. Period.

Cataluña
Cataluña should be independent because it's people want to be independent. I am a staunch supporter of self determination and if the people of Cataluña want to be independent (which they do, like 95% want to), they should.

Taiwan
Taiwan is China. Cope Tankie.

Srpska
W.I.P

Iraq
Iraq is just as bad as Ukraine. America shouldn't have invaded a sovreign nation without U.N support, which was what ultimately led to it's downfall. Bush lying about Iraqi Superweapons was plain evil. However, I'd like to say that it was NEVER about Oil, Iraq held control of its oil fields 100% of the time, and they sold that oil to the chinese. +You can't go to war for recourses, it was 2003, not 1903.

Afghanistan
We went there for revenge, we kill Bin Laden, albeit he died way after the invasion. Overall, I supported the war and I still do. If we had reeducated the population better Afghanistan could be a thriving democracy.

Yugoslavia
