UserWiki:Nyanders

Hello, welcome to my page. My ideology is Nyandersism, it is economically center-left, civically liberal, internationalist, and religious.

Introductions
Hi! I'm a Christian democrat who lives in Vermont. I've been following Bernie Sander's campaign and I support the Vermont democratic party. I'm a registered democrat, and I go out and vote often.

Personal
I'm an Agnostic Catholic, both of my parents are religious and practicing, and I actively help them out with things relating to charity work and such. I'm autistic w/adhd and have ODD as well. I was born on January 18th of 2004, and I'm currently 19 years old as of writing this.

Political Journey
I discovered politics back in 2016 when I was starting highschool, it started when I saw a Bernie Sanders ad and liked a lot of what he had to say. Although keep in mind, I knew nothing about politics, I would really get into politics during the 2020 election when I followed Bernie Sanders, and what he was supporting. I would adopt a lot of social democratic positions as a result and have been a self-described social democrat since 2020.

Philosophical Beliefs
Agnosticism =

[[File:Agnostic.png]] Agnosticism
While agnosticism is often conflated with being irreligious, I'm just not certain whether or not god exists just due to a lack of evidence. Theism =

[[File:Religious.png]] Theism
I believe that god exists, even if I myself am not certain on this position. It just brings me comfort to know that something beyond our comprehension may exist. So that's why I believe in it. I fully respect religious beliefs/lack their of so long as I am respected back. Individualism =

[[File:Indiv.png]] Individualism
I believe that individual freedom is important for any society. People should be allowed to express themselves in ways I don't agree with so long as they aren't harming other people, and in return, the government does not mandate a way of life. Religious Humanism =

[[File:ReligiousHumanism.png]] Religious Humanism
I apply the ideas of humanism to my religious philosophy, since God wouldn't want me to treat people differently because of things like their sexuality or gender. Therefore we ought to treat each other like humans because are human, and improve the human condition for our fellow man. Virtue Ethics =

[[File:Virtue_Ethics.png]] Virtue Ethics
I personally believe that it's important to have self-control and virtue. Even though I would never force these views onto anyone else, a lifestyle of hedonism just doesn't make me feel happy. Not that's there's anything wrong with pleasure in of itself, I just doesn't make me feel happy as a person, add this with my troubles of controlling my impulsivity due to my ADHD. Moral Relativism =

[[File:Relativism.png]] Moral Relativism
I am a moral relativist, I believe that morality is different for each situation and is justified based on the context given. This relativistic view comes from my individualistic outlook on life influenced by my humanistic and existentialistic philosophy. Christian Existentialism =

[[File:Existentialist Anarchism.png]] Christian Existentialism
I'm a philosophical existentialist, and combine this existentialist attitude with my religious beliefs. I know existentialism is seen as an atheistic philosophy, but it also encompasses religion as well.

[[File:Prog-u.png]] Cultural Beliefs [[File:CultLib.png]]
Harm Principle =

[[File:Mill.png]] Harm Principle
I'm a cultural liberal and support the general ideas of the harm principle, which is an ethical theory stating that actions should only be limited to prevent harm to other individuals. If someone wants to live an alternative lifestyle, they should be allowed to. This principle would serve as the basis for the legal system. This makes my overall cultural views individualistic. Pornography and Prostitution =

[[File:Sexocracy.png]] Pornography and Prostitution
Pornography depicting consenting adults should be legal for those who are old enough to view such material, even if I'm not really fond of it myself. As for prostitution, I support its decriminalization, since it's an exploitive industry but at the same time a victimless act. Feminism =

[[File:Fem.png]] Feminism
I self-identify as a feminist, and support gender equality. My specific form of feminism is individualistic since I defend the right of consenting adults to do whatever they want with their bodies so long as no one else is being harmed. I also get influences from post-modern and existential feminism. LGBTQ+ Rights =

[[File:Gay.png]] LGBTQ+ Rights
I'm a straight ally and strongly support queer liberation. Same-sex marriage should be written into the constitution and anti-discrimination laws would be implemented. This also co-insides with my support for affirmative action, which I will get into later. As for transgender individuals, I support the deconstruction of the gender binary since gender is a social construct that doesn't exist in reality and gender reaffirming surgery for transgender individuals made free under a universal healthcare system. I see queer liberation as an integral part of achieving an egalitarian society, since you cannot alienate one part of the working class just because of their sexuality/gender. Gender non-confirming people should be legally represented in the same capacity, but I don't think the gender binary should be abolished. If someone wants to identify as male or female, that's fine with me, but I will also respect those who don't identify within that binary as well.

Great

 * [[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - The welfare state is certified based.
 * [[File:Socgeo.png]] Social Georgism - Land speculation is something that needs to be fought against, and a land value tax would fix that! Shame to see many socdems not take this into consideration.
 * [[File:Social corpratism.png]] Social Corporatism - The workers must be mutually engaged with labor to satisfy the demands of both sides.
 * [[File:Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism - While I'm not a socialist, you're still comrades in arms and I respect many of your leaders
 * [[File:Liberalsoc.png]] Liberal Socialism - Ditto above.
 * [[File:Soclib.png]] Social Liberalism - My more moderate friend, so long as you actually stick true to your center-left principles then you're good.
 * [[File:Socfem.png]] Social Feminism - Women's rights are important! The mistreatment of women in the workforce is cringe.
 * [[File:Civlibert.png]] Civil Libertarianism - You're basically my social views.
 * [[File:Prog-u.png]] Progressivism - We must put progress above tradition!

Good

 * [[File:World Federalism2.png]] World Federalism - If done correctly, this could be the future that humanity needs to survive.
 * [[File:Leftnat.png]] Left-Wing Nationalism - While I mostly oppose nationalism, I support national liberation movements and believe that it is acceptable in the contexts of third-world countries resisting invasion. But it should only serve for that purpose, the future of humanity is a world federation.
 * [[File:SocialistPatriot.png]] Social Patriotism - Same thing as I said above, but better! This could actually be compatible with my ideal world federation.

Meh

 * [[File:Nation.png]] Nationalism - I'm not opposed to nationalism inherently, since I recognize it is sometimes necessary, such as national liberation, but the future is a world federation.

Bad

 * [[File:Conserv.png]] Conservatism - Why must you corrupt religion to serve your backwards interests? Your values are outdated.
 * [[File:Sec.png]] Authoritarianism - You violate human rights and don't respect privacy, I hate you so much!
