Average liberal democracy enjoyer.

This page is work in progress, I suppose. I'm the guy who likes fixing typos on this Wiki.

Sometimes active on Reddit and Discord. Sometimes busy.

Economy
The way I see it, planned economies are bound to fail. We've seen it in the past. Countries with centrally-planned economies either just stayed far behind till their collapse, or slowly moved towards economic liberalisation regardless. There are way too many mutual relations between prices and products in the economy for central planners to effectively keep track of.

The natural process of a market- and price-oriented economy has always shown to be the more efficient way of allocating goods.

[[File:Orlib.png]]Best type of market economy?[[File:Soccap.png]]
In an ideal system, I believe we should maximize civil and economic liberty through reform while staying within the boundaries of the German-style social market economy. I oppose bureaucracy and overregulation, as I think it gets in the way of progress and growth.

It is incredibly important that we have regulations to keep the competition fair, most notably in regards to worker's rights; workplace safety, a sufficient amount of annual leave/vacation for employees, and a suitable minimum wage (though one that is not too high). We must also make sure that suppliers of goods don't just put in their products whatever they want, they ought to make sure their orange juice makes no one die of dysentery.

Market Regulation
I, to a high extent, believe that markets regulate themselves. As seen with big corporations eventually growing so big that they cannot keep track of all the interal processes and smaller corporations being faster to adapt to new environments. Note also that the rich rarely even support laissez-faire economics, but rather support neoliberal regulationism that hurts emerging competitors more than themselves.

[[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]]Free Trade[[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]]
Free trade is preferable to protectionism. The only exception I'd put would be for products from dubious places in general. Let's not outsource our job to Chinese children forced to work in the factory, aye?

CETA was more problematic. It ended up giving way more power to corporations thanks to extensive regulations and unfair advantages, than actually making trade between the EU and Canada easier.

Corporations were basically given the right to protest against government regulations that would reduce their profit. And they would profit from doing so. This gets terrible when they do so against regulations meant to protect the environment. The dumbest thing you can do is trying to regulate in favour of corporations.

[[File:Socdem.png]]Healthcare[[File:Socdem.png]]
The healthcare sector must remain public at all costs. A system such as in the US would be truly nightmarish. I consider the right-libertarian argument for privatised healthcare referencing "long waiting times" to be unsensible.

[[File:Regulationism.png]]Taxation[[File:Regulationism.png]]
Taxation sure as hell ain't theft (cope, ancaps, ecks dee), because who's gonna finance that medicare, those social programs, and those roads? Having to pay tolls every other minute, crossing from one dude's privately owned McRoad to the other's, that's not it. That's basically advocating for a far worse version of taxation, for a service that is practically essential. Now, I'm against the government wasting taxpayers' money for stupid projects no one asked for, but that's rather easy to say.

Income taxation is to be mildly progressive, and especially low for working-class and middle-class folks. It is rather beneficial to keep taxes lower for the populace and moderately high for big corps.

We must introduce a carbon tax for CO2-emitters.

[[File:Welf.png]]Social Welfare[[File:Welf.png]]
Welfare is usually a better mean of helping out the disadvantaged than private charity is. That, however, doesn't mean I want the welfare state to be expanded. It's better if we slowly weaken (but not fully eradicate) the welfare state and promote self-reliance instead, as well as make sure freeloaders don't get the welfare.

So basically, very limited social welfare, for those who truly need it (like disabled people and those who were recently fired). Also, be wary of immigrants who entirely live off welfare and who don't work, I say this as a child of immigrants.

[[File:Envi.png]] Environment vs. Economy [[File:Cap.png]]
Although I don't self-identify as an environmentalist, the economy is of slightly less importance than the environment is, since damage to the environment is near-irreversable, as opposed to economic crises.

However, I don't want a purely restriction-oriented environmental policy, it's better to make use of market instruments to combat climate change, such as emissions trading and introducing aforementioned carbon taxes. Technological progress is one of our greatest allies in fighting climate change, so is nuclear power. Too bad she decided to cuck nuclear power on popular demand.

[[File:Regulationism.png]]Price Controls[[File:Regulationism.png]]
Price controls tend to be a bad idea. Politicians, especially populists, like making lots of promises that they're going to cap the prices of a service or a product, when it's just a short-term and unsustainable solution. Rising prices are not always a sign of a corporation's "greed", but rather of changes in supply and demand.

And when politicians want to lower the "costs" of certain services or programs in order to make it "more accessible", what they really mean is that they are going to lower the prices. The supplier's costs (material, workers/employees, time) remain the same, and only make it so that the price controls effectively end up in the employees getting underpaid.

The same applies to rent control for the most part, although landlords can be arses.

Society and Culture
I am culturally liberal for the most part, favouring equal rights and opportunities for people regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality or anything else. I support the legalisation of cannabis (which is, luckily, happening in my country!), and we might be able to progressively legalise or decriminalise harder drugs later on.

[[File:Dem.png]]Democracy[[File:Dem.png]]
I absolutely stand by democracy, agreeing with it being the "least worst system". As opposed to an absolute monarchy or a fascist dictatorship, you won't be ruled by one idiot for eternity, but instead get to replace your currently ruling idiot with a slightly more suitable idiot every once in a while.

I favour representative democracy over direct democracy for the most important decisions such as economics and foreign policy, and the introduction of direct democracy (in the Swiss tradition) for most social policies, for those are less of an objective matter than, say, how to run the economy. It's sad that the AfD is the only major party advocating for this right now.

[[File:Nation.png]]Nationalism and Patriotism[[File:Modnat.png]]
I endorse patriotism, as it is not only natural, but also for the sake of national cohesion. But I reject the ideology of nationalism, it usually ranges from a populistic pest to straight up chauvinism.

Of course, there's isn't much wrong with national liberation movements, as long as it's for anti-imperialist causes.

Multiculturalism... I'm not quite sure. It conflicts with my idea of a cohesive nation with a shared civic and cultural identity. But on the other side, I support everyone's right to do as they please. That includes freedom of religion, for example.

[[File:Civlibert.png]]Freedom of Speech[[File:Civlibert.png]]
Freedom of speech must be guaranteed by the government, and hate speech largely falls under free speech, though I disdain it on a personal basis. The only restrictions I'd put on free speech would be:

1. Holocaust denial,

2. Organising, or actively calling for violence.

Although they deserve free speech like all other people, it deeply annoys me how some are so deeply hypocritical about free speech, as in going off and ranting about how their "free speech" is being taken away, but then continuing to praise  regimes that valued said right the very least.

[[File:Fem.png]]Affirmative Action[[File:Fem.png]]
I'm no advocate for affirmative action. As I have mentioned, I want equal rights and opportunities for people regardless of gender or background, and I absolutely do not want anyone have their positions denied based on these factors, but top-down  enforcing "equality" through projects such as women's quotas hurts our meritocracy, and might as well just be reverse discrimination.

[[File:Gay.png]]LGBT rights[[File:Trans.png]]
Discrimination, never got behind it. Why devote all of your time and energy to be angry at someone for merely existing? It's kind of repulsive this is such a political issue (yet still I'm politicizing it right now ), do what you want, but don't pretend like denying a group of people basic rights is an opinion equivalent to liking a different flavour of ice cream, or wanting slightly lower taxes.

Homosexual individuals should be allowed to marry and reap the benefits that civil unions wouldn't grant them, they should also be able to adopt children in most circumstances, but ideally not when there is a heterosexual couple already ready to adopt as well (because I still believe that mothers and fathers play separate roles in raising children).

Trans people, live your lives like you want to live them, don't bother anyone, and don't let anyone bother you.

[[File:Sec.png]]Death Penalty[[File:Sec.png]]
As someone who supports rehabilitative justice, I vehemently oppose the death penalty.

People who committed irredeemable crimes (e. g. raping a minor) should be sentenced to labour for life, where they would help build things like houses, monuments and bridges, and thus could still contribute to society while getting what they deserve.

[[File:Libertarian.png]]Gun rights[[File:Libertarian.png]]
Never was, and likely never will be an important issue to me, or my country. Advocating for gun rights over here is basically political suicide. I've heard good arguments from both sides, though.

[[File:Trad.png]]Tradition[[File:Trad.png]]
Let's be real. Despite me leaning progressive, that is, in the "live and let live" type of way, not the progress-for-the-sake-of-progress type of way, I have no qualms with a country preserving its heritage and the traditions that are worth preserving. I, quite frankly, just want to get rid of obsolete insitutions that hinder individuals from living their lives the way they want to live them. Peace and love, y'all.

Essentially, a truly progressive society respects YOUR decision to live a traditional life, as long as you don't force it on anyone else. Looking at you...

Foreign Policy
I am a non-interventionist, I loathe war. But in regards to diplomacy and geopolitics, I view the West  as the lesser of the two evils when compared with its     opposition.

In my honest opinion, a fully anti-militarist foreign policy as seen with Die Linke would have devastating results. If the West just decides to immediately leave all the places they're currently present in, who's gonna fill that power vacuum? And how are we going to defend ourselves from outside threats? Such a foreign policy would be nice to strive towards, as I am a pacifist, but not immediate and unconditional demilitarisation. There are far bigger threats to world peace out there other than ourselves.

[[File:World.png]]Alliances[[File:World.png]]
I support the European Union, Schengen agreement and the Eurozone.

I want my country to leave NATO, its days are numbered. In its current form, it's no good: Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, you name it, too many times did we end up funding terrorists and making the situation worse than before. I desire a new alliance, centered less around violent interventionism and more on actual self-defence, you know, just in case.

Ain't into European Federalism. I find it unfeasible for similar reasons as World Federalism, you can't represent the desires of all nations, let alone individuals, on such a large scale, without an ungodly amount of bureaucracy. Pan-Africanism is bad for similar reasons, although it's fine as a lifestyle I guess (respecting all of your fellow Africans, likewise with Europeans and Pan-Europeanism).

[[File:Anat.png]]Open Borders[[File:Anat.png]]
Maybe? I guess the Schengen Zone already exists where I live. Though it's better for a nation to open up its borders after reducing the welfare state's size, for people who are just genuine freeloaders and who refuse to work.

Why not Libertarianism?
Philosophically, I can get behind a lot of it. I'm somewhat libertarian-adjacent in certain aspects, but I still associate right-libertarianism, especially in America, with these ridiculous proposals, such as lowering the age of consent or dismantling public healthcare. So no, I do not call myself a libertarian, or at least not in Germany.

Relations with other users
Note that this is based on a mixture of ideology and personality. If you are ideologically close to me, you are pretty much guaranteed a top-spot. If I have chatted with you in the past and/or we get along very well, you will also likely get a high spot. The lowest spots are reserved for people I don't like, have terrible ideologies, or I got off on the wrong foot with.

The Based (or close)
 Joogotakensaad /

Probably my best pal on this Wiki, plus a fellow FDP enjoyer and German. We chat from time to time. Politically based too!

 SomeCrusader1224 /

Not a fan of conservatism, but nothing to disdain. Anti-communism and anti-racism, doubleplusgood. Simply don't force your beliefs on anyone else.

 Pirate Tails /

Based fellow liberal, with a wack nationalist spin. Just be a civic nationalist and you're good. One of my first friends.

 Vonali /

The most based user with an anime profile picture that the internet has seen so far. He's me, but more extreme. Love ya, no homo. Don't simp for Ayn Rand, though.

 YellingYowie /

He called me based, and for that, he shall be called based in return. But... interventionism? Really? Don't go too far.

 Mebrouk /

Another fellow enjoyer of liberalism, progress, market economy and secularism. He... is just a little succdem-y. And gives me odd vibes sometimes.

 ChiroPro /

Yet another social democrat, but progressivism is based. He is too friendly with socialism, but tolerable. Please, just... drop the "anti-woke" sham.

 Liberal /

Incredibly based name, and funky-looking icon. Most of his takes are good, but he could be more lax on economics.

 Enaysikey /

Another social libertarian? Well, would you look at that! I'm running out of things to say, but based. My first friend here.

 Ninjack-Aus /

Probably one of the best, if not the best userpage on this Wiki, it's genuinely a good read. Agreeable 80 to 90 percent of the time. Also, fantastic art!

 ThatDudeRightHere /

Pretty alright fella. Liberal conservatism is the most tolerable form of conservatism, though a bit boring. Otherwise, he fine.

 Kirbly /

Sometimes too based, love it when he messes with socialists and conservatives. He's the embodiment of everything liberal, taken to its extreme.

 SweatingCup2632 / The European Union is very based indeed, and so is Social Capitalism. Don't see the point of authoritarianism though, nor of intervention. That's a big turn-off.

 Matteel /

I like his progressivism, liberalism and antagonistic attitude towards discrimination, and towards fascism in particular. His immense distaste for fiscal conservatism is not for me, but at the end of the day, he's a liberal. Stay the way you are. Also, gigachad for drawing my current portrait.

 afunhumaninter /

I don't even like his ideology that much, but he seems cool. I remember him from Reddit as well.

 RolandsSilvers /

I'm not into anarchism at all, yet he's fine. Too bad he's gone.

 Baconsalad123 /

Free markets? Based. Civil liberties? Based. Nationalism? Not so based... nor is laissez-faire, to be honest. But he's a cool dude, so he lands here.

 Grumithink /

Well, what can I say? Based markets enjoyer, cringe conservative, but chill user.

 NotADopeMan /

We're quite similar, but also have some disagreements, most notably how the healthcare sector should be handled. Nice to see another person that knows the stupidity of populism.

 Smelegem /

We (almost) couldn't be more different from each other, but I've chatted with her. Unsurprisingly a really chill person.

 ANewDude /

Pshhht, I'm actually one of the few people who like you :D

 ArGyro /

Pretty agreeable all around. Some wack takes. Also, why irredentism?

 Alaricj74 /

Another friend from Discord. Don't worry, his ideology is ironic... or is it?

 Rojo346 /

His beliefs seem to operate within a reasonable liberal framework, which is automatically based, but he's  culturally conservative. Luckily, he's not too crazy about it. We get along.

 BaconWobuffet

Good guy from Discord. Ideologically meh, but OK.

 AmericanFascist /

Another Discord friend. Ideologically... yeah, not many similarities between us, as you could tell from his name. However, he's not racist, and very friendly.

 ResponsibleCitizen /

Most of his takes are quite good, which is why he earns a spot here, but I don't like his social conservatism, and how it's supposed to be compatible with a small government. Overall more based than not, though.

 Am m /

God darn it, another socialist! Nice direct democracy though, and okay social policies, obviously all within the wrong economic system, though. Otherwise, they're fine as a user, too.

 Tony567 /

You asked me to add you, so I shall do so. Being a liberal, you are automatically cool, but you're too big on regulation. Nevertheless, full of good intentions.

 Quark /

Strange, strange ideology, indeed... don't even know where to begin. Ew to authoritarianism in particular. However, you earn a spot here for being a Discord friend.

The Mixed
 Skyrum536 /

He's... iffy. Is well-intentioned by every metric, but not so wise economically. His heart is in the right place, just less socialism, m'kay?

 SussyNuoh /

Left-wing nationalism is very cringe, and he believes in the alter-globalization sham. As a user, obviously fine and an early addition.

 /

A good person, his love of the environment and animal rights shows that, but he stands for almost all things I politically oppose. Plus, that Pan-German stuff... pretty wack. But overall, we get along very well.

 NazBolGANG12 /

Similarly to above, he's a fine person, and that's what counts. His system would be like living in hell, though.

 Typicalfan4  /

I don't condone nationalism or conservatism. His comments are kind of irritating at times. But otherwise, he's OK. Clean your page up, bro, it's a mess!

 TheImmorxy /

My #1 enemy on PCBF, always has the opposite opinions when compared with mine. Gets a pass for being an early addition and an OK person.

 ScarletTheVampireQueen /

Democratic socialist? Cringe. Decent person? Based. He, luckily, seems to understand the importance of a market economy, but he wants to overregulate it so bad, it would be practically castrated. Also an "anti-SJW". But still an anti-fascist democrat, so OK.

 SumisuAirisu /

The only good thing about her is the social progress. Hates capitalism, hates liberalism, likes some borderline terrorists. Also, I miss Bannned a tiny bit, semi-ironically.

 Comrade Shrek /

His social views are very cringe, and he advocates a regressive economic system, but he hates racism and imperialism. Which is good.

 Davilanda13 /

One of the most funny (and unfunny) users in this community, with one of the wackiest ideologies imaginable. Globalist reactionary anarcho-capitalist environmentalism? Environmentalism?! Sure, dude.

 ChineseSocialist /

He may be an authoritarian socialist (I disagree with 90% of his takes), but I love myself some well-made pages, plus he's a friendly user, too. A filthy weeb, but a tolerable one, in a similar manner to Vonali.

 LordCompost86 /

I'd be lying if I were to call his worldview uninteresting. That nihilistic and anti-moralist outlook is nothing for me, though. As a user, he's cool and makes a fine addition to the community.

 Councilguy / 

Another egoist-nihilist (that's a fast change of a worldview... but whatever) but he's a very good person. Has even considered Libunity :)

 ChronicFemcel  / 

She's an anarchist and a communist, which I don't like, but social progress is mostly based. Also friendly on Discord, and doesn't seem to hate me.

 Wasp / I don't know much about you. Unitarism is cringe, though.

 Sr Deyvid /

Why art thou a conservative? Otherwise kind of tolerable, at least he isn't communist or fascist trash. Way too friendly with authoritarians.

 Bman /

Cringe Marxism-Leninism, but appears to be pretty chill. He goes here.

 TheHellenicStorm /

Ahh, Storm. We could not be more different from one another, couldn't we? He earns a special spot here, he is oddly friendly on Discord and his views more nuanced than those of a regular fascist.

 ThisIsMyUsernameAAAA  /

This guy likes to spam comment sections to the brim with emojis, which can be a nuisance to scroll through. Also an ancom. Though, we get along on Discord, I guess.  YugoslavPartisan2 /

Self-proclaimed populist? Oof. Socialist? Double oof. Albeit not the worst the world has to offer. He seems fine.

 Duck-Citizen /

Interesting person with curious takes on governmental issues. But we once got into a short tangle about taxation.

 Niveous Laccolith /

Steaming pile of horseshit of an ideology. It would result in nothing but death and destruction. As a user... maybe he's OK? Wish LordCompost would stop radicalising y'all.

 Affiliated /

Has lots of interesting takes... but none in my favour. Friendly user.

 Tolkien IRL /

We haven't had a guy like him on the Wiki so far, that's for sure. Now, about his actual policies... the only good thing I see here is support for the free market, albeit taken to a bothersome extreme. Not sure if serious or not.

Weird
 Bannned /

This "centrist" singlehandedly validated the existence of r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM. Put a lot of effort into his userpage, and was arguably an interesting person to have on this Wiki, but holy macaroni, touch some grass!

 BasedRussianMikuru /

He's got some nice art, though that's about it. Otherwise a theocrat LARPing as a right-libertarian. To top it all off, he's a weeb. Appreciate the contributions to the Wiki, though.

 DoomerCrusader /

"Anti-racist Hitler enjoyer", that's like saying "anti-socialist Marx enjoyer" or "individual liberty-loathing libertarian". OK person, but I can't seriously put a Hitlerite in any category but Cringe.

 Ukraiana /

He has been added on request, but his ideology is so... inverted. Totalitarian conservative theocracy? And a proud fascist? Not even his economic liberalism can save him. Kind of an arse sometimes.

 LKR15tye /

Yeah, almost everything about his ideology is horrific, so I'll focus on the very few based things: He says he's anti-racist, that's cool. He also dislikes American conservatives (but not for the same reasons as I do... ).

 Askanidiot1223 /

What in the...? An anarcho-communist, which is terrible enough, but also another one of these "anti-SJW" edgelords. I don't support him being banned, but jeez, no.

 IvarsBalodis /

As an ideology, he's everything I loathe: conservative, socialist, nationalist, oh, and a corporatist. Buys into the "anti-woke" mob, but is at least anti-racist. As a person, can't judge, but he's here for now. Also hates me, it seems.

Flag
New-Flag-BeryAb.png

This is basically my personal flag, at least for this Wiki. It's mostly self-explanatory.

German flag - represents my home country.

Ethiopian flag - represents my ancestry.

Icon - shamelessly stolen from the liberal flag designs, represents the invisible hand of the market. Added a German-Ethiopian colour pattern.

Good experiences
Germany - duh!

Netherlands - To no one's surprise, the country is flat as hell, but nice culture and funny language, wish I had seen more than just the capital. Also, those damn cyclists everywhere... that was a culture shock.

Austria - This was a loooong time ago. But I only have positive memories from this place. The drive was long though.

England - As much as I enjoy making "Bri'ish" jokes, I've had a rather lovely time here, mostly stayed in Birmingham and in London. Some areas are a bit unpleasant, but overall, you can have a good time here.

Czech Republic - Prague is one stunning city, I must say. The drive was pleasant. Didn't see much of the country's rest though.

United States - I have been here twice. And I really, really loved it! The people are genuinely nice, the weather is better than in Germany, only the cuisine is lacking. I'm not the biggest fan of fast food to be honest.

Canada - Similar to above, but felt more European. Generally a clean country, and the Niagara falls are gorgeous.

Turkey - Nothing smells better than a Turkish bazar, that's for sure! Good food, amazing weather, nice people. Would visit again.

Short stays
Poland - Briefly visited during my trip to Czechia, the villages I saw were pretty rough, but there's probably far more to Poland.

Belgium - Just passed through it on our way to France. Where did I hear THAT before...?

Could have been better
Ethiopia - Visited four times, and I don't know if I'm going back. The first visit, barely remember it. The second one, it was OK. The third one was cool, met lots of relatives. But the fourth and final one? Oh dear. With the death of several family members, lack of proper transportation, and food poisoning from a giant donut (not making that up), I can say that Ethiopia isn't my go-to tourist destination. Bahir Dar is beautiful though, and I've had the best spaghetti of my life there.

France - This is probably not due to France being shit, which it probably isn't entirely, but because the people were a bit unfriendly, refused to speak English, and my friends also got tired quickly.

- Just gonna say this right now so I don't forget, merry (early) christmas! :D Neoconfemboy (name's a joke btw) - Probably a odd question, but can you make a icon based off Steve Bannon? Sorta like the one you did for Alex Gauland. - Quick question here because I don't have discord, how do you get your own comment like that? Because I cannot seem to figure out how to make it myself and I want to add my own userboxes to my page
 * Say stuff here, if you desire.
 * - Sure thing. Something with White Nationalism and about his movie career?
 * Neoconfemboy - Make it the Breitbart logo but with his hair and sunken eyes.
 * Neoconfemboy - This one https://www.breitbart.com/t/assets/i/BB-logo-highres-1024x1024.png
 * Just go to my userbox gallery at Template:UserboxesKlaus and copy and paste it into another userbox gallery with your name, perhaps Template:UserboxesMatteel? Then just replace the userboxes there with ones that match your ideology and personality.
 * - Appreciate the answer, but I think Matteel simply meant the colored names. Now, Matteel, as for those, you'll have to create a template page (like this one https://polcompball.miraheze.org/wiki/Template:UserBeryAb). Name it Template:UserMatteel or something. Then, you could perhaps look at another template's source code and adjust it to fit your preferred one.
 * - Thanks :D
