Introduction
Hello, I'm BasedMaddy, I discovered politics during the 2020 election, but didn't really get an understanding of politics until 2021 when I watched some Jreg videos. That was when I discovered the political compass and subsequently, political compass balls.

About Me
I'm an American (of French descent) who lives in Denver, Colorado. I was born in March of 2004 and am medically diagnosed with Autism. I have a special interest in politics and gaming.

[[File:Utility.png]] Ideological Philosophy
I'm a utilitarian, which is based off of  consequentialism, with the difference being happiness as the moral judgement between right and wrong. This is were my support for welfare ethics and   comes in. I primarily believe in the, which is an ethical principle that holds actions as morally right or wrong if they are harming other individuals. Another pillar of my ideological beliefs is secular humanism, I believe in   is an important trait for society.

[[File:Atheist.png]] Religious Philosophy
I'm an agnostic atheist, and hold a  materialistic world view. I believe everything we do is determined by these elements, and nothing outside of these elements.

[[File:CultLib.png]] Cultural
I'm a cultural liberal, this means I support ,  ,  ,  gender equality,  environmentalism, and everything else associated with the  cultural left. However, I tend to be more skeptical of progressive ideas like gender being, so I would be a  moderate progressive.

[[File:Soccap.png]] Economics
Economically, I am a centrist with some   left-leaning characteristics. I support a social market economy with a  selective welfare state to redistribute wealth, and an economy based on  collective barginning through  labor unions, this would make me a  liberal corporatist. I also support a land value tax to replace property taxes, although I still believe  landlords should stay.

[[File:LibInternat.png]] Diplomacy
Diplomatically, I am a liberal internationalist and an  atlanticist, I believe it's the duty of  liberal states in the world to aid each other against illiberal regimes. I support free trade between similar countries of economic development, but  protectionism for developing countries and/or authoritarian states.

Despite this, I do not support western imperialism, I'm more   in my foreign policy. With this, I believe rare interventions are necessary, such as WW2. I also support the European Union and  NATO. Although I believe that the European Union can be improved, as I do criticise its usage of austerity among other things, so I am sympathetic towards some  eurosceptic views. Along with NATO, which I believe in the modern day needs to be reformed, as while I do support its existence against authoritarian states, I also believe that NATO should be eventually phased out, but for now I support its existence.

[[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] Government
I support a liberal democracy and  democratic republic with free and fair elections,  multiple political parties,  federalism, a  constitution, and a  president. This government would be built to safeguard individual rights and  privacy. I'm also a secular liberal, and support the  separation of church and state.

 * [[File:Prog-u.png]] Progressivism - Don't like how identity politic obsessed you guys are, but you mostly match my cultural views.
 * [[File:Progconf.png]] Progressive Conservatism - We gotta account for the non-harmful traditions that are worth preserving.
 * [[File:Socgeo.png]] Social Georgism - Land value tax has shown to be the least bad tax, even neoliberals and some libertarians agree with me on this!
 * [[File:LibInternat.png]] Liberal Internationalism - Liberals must stand united.
 * [[File:SecLib.png]] Secular Liberalism - Separation of church and state is a must!
 * [[File:Glib.png]] Green Liberalism - Save the environment.
 * [[File:Socliber.png]] Social Libertarianism - Some of y'all have good ideas, but I'm a bit iffy on libertarianism.
 * [[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - A bit more left-wing than me, but still incredibly based, although I'm a bit iffy on populism some of you guys promote.
 * [[File:Scientocracy Small.png]] Scientocracy - Evidence based policy!

Neutral

 * [[File:European Federalism.png]] European Federalism - I think the European Union is an overall net-positive on the countries residing in it, but I will admit it does have its issue. I don't think this would work, but I still dream of it happening.
 * [[File:3way.png]] Third Way - This would be ranked higher if it wasn't for its interventionism, but I think it gets too much hate. It's ok.
 * [[File:Multicult.png]] Multiculturalism - I'm fine with multiple cultures existing in a single country, but you can be too idpol obsessed. I prefer interculturalism.
 * [[File:Zio.png]] Zionism - I personally believe Israel is the better option over Palestine, but still support peace in the area. The Jews deserve a homeland, but both sides can be pretty cringe.

Cringe

 * [[File:Nazi.png]] Nazism - How does it feel to know that your "hyper-based militarized society" got beaten by liberal democracy? We kicked your genocidal ass out of Europe, and it will stay that way.

 * [[File:Conservative.png]] Conservatism - Your a laughing stalk in the modern day, how does anyone take this seriously?
 * [[File: Soc-h.png]] Socialism - I'm admittedly left-wing for a liberal, but socialism has never worked.
