Abortion
I'm pretty neutral on this topic, my belief is that Abortion before viability is fine but after is wrong. A woman has the right to abort an unwanted pregnancy however she doesn't the right to abort a life. I suppose my opinion is considered "Pro-Compromise."

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
I perfectly fine with sex work, as a woman can do whatever she wants with her body because it is hers. I have a similar opinion about pornography.

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
I support deregulation in the economy, because not only will deregulation make it easier for small businesses to grow and expand, it would also let larger international corporations to expand into nations, rich or poor, and bring jobs to people. I think Third-World Nations actually have a big advantage because most of these nations are countries with low wages, low regulation and hard-working people who would be more than willing to finally be able to put food on the table. I will discuss this topic later.

That being said, I'm not those numb-brain libertarians who think the free market can regulate everything. Of course a fair amount of a government regulations must be set in place to ensure that corporations aren't whipping their employees for wiping the windows down too slow. I think this why I'm not a Libertarian. Libertarianism is purely idealistic. It's the belief that governments should shrink as much as possible, they think human beings are perfect, and then they say shit like "well capitalism isn't perfect," and when you point out when Jeff Bezos starts abusing the market they just start yelling at you "wEll tHaT wAsn'T rEAl cApiTALiSm!!!1!!11" Liberalism is also idealistic but it's also pragmatic. When something is going wrong, liberals aren't going to be like "welp market will figure out lmao," we actually do something until something sticks. Anyone who has researched the 2008 Housing Crash will understand why Libertarianism is stupid.

Struggle
I had mentioned previously that Third-World Nations have an advantage due to low regulation and low wages and I want to elaborate on that. If we look at all the big powers today, America, China, Japan, the UK, Russia, etc. all of these nations had long periods of genuine struggle and hardship and after these struggles all of these nations went through the same struggle that these Third-World Nations are going through today. Now, when these Nation's elect populist leaders who won't let the nation advance to its next stage, these nations will forever stay in a stage of worker exploitation.

Privatization
I believe privitizing most state-run industries would be benificial to both the government and average citizen. I believe places like, for example, Central Park would function better if it were under a Private Corporation's Control. It would be cleaner, safer and overall a nicer place to be in. Why? No man takes care of his property better than himself. Now I understand the worry of "Well if we privatized Central Park, what will be stopping Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos to be building skyscrapers on it?" To which I reply: Most museums and parks are private anyways, do you see museums being destroyed in the face of corporate greed? Similarly, with National Parks, I believe that everything I said previously applies but even more so. Who is going to build the massive building in Zion? Who is going to build a Nuclear Power Plant in Yellowstone?

Monetary Policy
I agree with Milton Friedman's ideas on Monetary Policy, however I don't agree how it should be handled. While Milton Friedman's Idea was to completely abolish the Federal Reserve System and replace it with a group of staticians and monetary experts to help increase money supply at a slow and steady pace, I think the Federal Reserve should stay around to keep control of Monetary Policy and money supply. I think most examples of Anti-FED people give are 1920s-1940s FED when it was bare opperable and not in it's prime. We have seen time and time again that the FED has worked as a Monetary Fund, and it would be foolish to get rid of it. Other than that I do agree with Friedman and Monetarism with the steady increase of the money supply irrespective of business cylce. Yes I support Fiat Currency, don't ask.

Private Roads vs Public Roads
I believe that some roads could work privately, and others couldn't. Those that could work under private corporation should work under private corporation. The roads that go through mountains, have many tunnels, exits and entries should be owned by government, as that is something the market couldn't work out. As for those one way interstate roads that are literally just one road with a few twists? Those should be private.

Workers Protection?
Companies 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. That's wrong in our modern-day version of hierarchal firms, which ensure the employers work on such a small level that every employee matters. Now that being said, I still believe that there are going to have to be SOME workers regulations, not too many, but enough.

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 $7 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 $8. I'm not saying we should abolish minimum wage but we should keep it fairly low.

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 a City Council to ask for a permit to build on MY property. I do believe that we should have a Land Value Tax, meaning that we should tax people on account of the value of their land excluding things built upon it. Why? Mainly to prevent land speculation and prevent cringe suburban areas, I'll cover this more later.

Taxes
I perfer a Flat Tax system which keeps the percentage for taxes that same number. A Flat Tax is rather simple meaning it would elimiante the complexity of the current Progressive Tax System. I believe under a Flat Tax Buisness would be easier to conduct due to the simplicity of it, coupled with the fact that they wouldn't be paying a little less in taxes. There are a few things I would like to abolish, the biggest being the Windfall Tax, which taxes companies 75% of "unexpected growth." Not only is this plain robbery, I also really don't trust the government to define "unexpected growth." Among others. Other than that, I think that things that negatively affect people should be taxed. I support the Carbon Tax, a tax for companies whose product makes lots of Carbon Emmission. The Land Value Tax is a great idea for improving land while also keeping Landlords from forming large Urbist City Monopolies. Instead of punishing Landlords for improving their land like the Land Tax, we reward them for it.

Welfare
Welfare should be cut as much as possible, it's a cycle used by lazy people to get by off of the working man's money. That being said I could see some space for some very basic forms of welfare with very basic forms of HELP (not to live off of).

Healthcare
I see Healthcare going 2 ways of which I would support. The first would be to keep Heatlthcare Private but open international markets so we can purchase cheaper products and materiels so Healthcare companies wouldn't have to spend so much on their services meaning it would be cheaper. The second option would be to nationalise Healthcare BUT have it so all of our matierial be purchased off of Private Corporations, national or international. If it is owned the government it could prevent the Basic Needs Monopolies which can happen in the right circumstances.

Education
I'm fine with K-12 being open to the public, however I do still think that college should stay private. I think if we just put interest rates below the inflation rates for Universities this "crisis," will go away by itself.

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.

Israel or Palestine
I support Israel due to the fact that jews deserve a homeland and Palestine is the perfect place. Please note that Arabs hold the lands of most of the Arabian Peninsula, and Muslims overall hold land from Morroco to Pakistan from Algeria to Indonesia to Azerbaijan. Then comes the argument that the jews stole the land from native Palestinians, and despite the fact that jews had been living in the holy land since basically the dawn of man, Palestinian Arabs have been doing the same thing in the same place.

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.

Punjab
W.I.P

Taiwan
I believe that unless China were to reform into a truly democratic and free republic, or a likewise, China and Taiwan should unify. However if China continues going down the path it goes, I will continue supporting Taiwan, or the Republic of China's claim, unto the Mainland.

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
