Civil Libertarianism

Civil Libertarianism is a civically libertarian and economically variable ideology. It is a form of Libertarianism who believes in the expansion and preservation of civil liberties. Distinct from right libertarianism because he is focused on fighting for a legal system centered around the harm principle, privacy and civil rights without any interest in economic liberalism. Sometimes he can be portrayed as a scholar with nerdy expertise of the law and philosophy. He is also not to be confused with Social Libertarianism, despite having similar policies.

Despite his name he often clashes with right libertarians by opposing private coercion as much as state authoritarianism. Typically he gets along well with center-left and lib-left balls at least until his free speech absolutism and opposition to hate speech laws angers them.

[[File:Civilib.png]] Civil Liberalism
Civil Liberalism is the more moderate version of civil libertarianism, sharing the same core beliefs while leaning more heavily into  moderate liberal philosophy rather than full on libertarianism.

[[File:Mill.png]] Harm Principle
Civil Libertarianism's main ideological foundation is the harm principle, which is a philosophical belief that actions should only be limited to prevent harm to other people.

[[File:Secular.png]] Secularism
Civil Libertarianism supports a strong demarcation between separation of church and secularism while eliminating discrimination based off of religious beliefs.

[[File:Fem.png]] Feminism
Civil Libertarianism is a feminist ideology that supports policies which achieve equality for both genders. These policies include things like abortion rights, anti-discrimination laws, and the right to vote & own property.

[[File:ProDrug.png]] Drug Liberalization
Along with supporting the legalization of cannabis, Civil Libertarianism also supports the complete decriminalization or even legalization of all drugs in general, believing that zero tolerance policies have done more harm than good in addressing the issue of drug addiction.

[[File:CultLib.png]] Cultural Liberalism
Civil Libertarianism is a culturally liberal ideology that defends the rights of individuals to conform to social norms or not. This belief also overlaps with the harm principle, since civil libertarianism believes that no specific moral code should be imposed onto society when one's lifestyle is not harming others.

 * [[File: thar.png]] Anti-Authoritarianism - Comrade in arms! Anyone willing to oppose tyranny and uphold freedom is an ally in my book! Could you be a little less trigger-happy towards the opposition though? We are attempting to be civil here after all!
 * [[File:Secular.png]] Secularism - Perfect take on religion!

Frenemies

 * [[File:Prog.png]] Progressivism - A close match, not gonna lie. Needs to be more acceptive of freedom of expression though.
 * [[File:Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - He hates free speech! Who gets to decide what constitutes "hate speech"?
 * [[File:Libsoc.png]] Libertarian Socialism - Likes freedom too, but please don't violate property rights.
 * [[File:Libertarian.png]] Libertarianism - But on that note, the harm principle trumps property rights.
 * [[File:Anego.png]] Anarcho-Egoism - You believe in freedom for the individual while believing things like bigotry and sexism are "spooks"? Great! We will get along just... wait for a second, you don't care about human rights?! And you think property rights are spooks too?
 * [[File:Anin.png]] Anarcho-Individualism - An ever so slightly more moderate version of the guy above.
 * [[File:StramKurs.png]] Utilitarian Ethnonationalism - My... racist son?
 * [[File:Conbertf.png]] Libertarian Conservatism & [[File:Conlib.png]] Conservative Liberalism - You seem to actually care about small government, but I'm still not a fan of your social views.
 * [[File:Antifa.png]] Anti-Fascism - Look, you're not awful in theory, but you need to calm down. Also, free speech for everyone is important, even for the people that we oppose. I still prefer your buddy here [[File: thar.png]], to be honest.
 * [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] Revolutionary Progressivism - Similar discourse to the above guy. Take a chill pill and quit it with the violence. Though your more tankie variants can straight up piss off.
 * [[File:Laicism.png]] Laicism - Sure, state and religion should remain separated, but isn't freedom of expression also important? Don't get me wrong, you're still 5x better than [[File:StateathFedora.png]] that moron, but you still come off as a tad authoritarian for my liking.
 * [[File:Nalib.png]] National Liberalism & [[File:Natlib.png]] National Libertarianism - We generally agree on civil liberties, but you're both sometimes a bit wingnuty for a liberal/libertarian, not to mention you seem to hang around with [[File:Altliberalism-icon.png]] alt-righters [[File:AltBert.png]] quite a bit. Though I do agree that Navalny is better than Putin and Calvin Coolidge was an okay president.
 * [[File:Progconf.png]] Progressive Conservatism, [[File:Libconserv3.png]] Liberal Conservatism & [[File:Hcon.png]] LGBT Conservatism - Pretty mixed bags, but still probably the best conservatives. Though I'm definitely not a fan of the latter guy's transphobic factions.
 * [[File:Civnat.png]] Civic Nationalism & [[File:Modnat.png]] Patriotism - Same as above but nationalists.

Enemies

 * [[File:Sec.png]] Authoritarianism - Little thing called privacy? Ever heard of it buddy?!
 * [[File:Ancapf.png]] Anarcho-Capitalism - Privatized tyranny is no better than any other dictatorship.
 * [[File:Hoppef.png]] Hoppeanism - See? this is what I'm talking about.

 * [[File:Ingsocf.png]] Ingsoc - The end result of eroding civil liberties.
 * [[File:Necon.png]] Neoconservatism - Why do you hate Edward Snowden?! He is a literal hero! You're just a precarious ideology riddled with corruption and imperialism. And please just repeal the Patriot Act already!
 * [[File:Neobert.png]] Neo-Libertarianism - Even if you're better than above you still hate whistleblowers and most of you are conservatives idiots like Shapiro, Kirk, Kogos, Prince, etc...
 * [[File:Putin.png]] Putinism - See just because I hate neocons doesn't mean I'm gonna ever support you in any way. But Amnesty International is soft towards you.
 * [[File:Reactlib.png]] Reactionary Liberalism - Classical liberal my arse.
 * [[File:Korwinism-Pikselart.png]] Korwinism - Oxymoron """libertarian""", you may advocate the legalization of drugs and sex work but why the death penalty, anti-democratic beliefs, and all the bigotry?
 * [[File:Christy.png]] Christian Theocracy - Haha Obergefell v. Hodges go brrr!
 * [[File:StateathFedora.png]] State Atheism - State-enforced atheism isn't any better than state-enforced religion. And it doesn't help how you seem to love atheism so much that you practically worship it as if it's just another religion.
 * [[File:Mansphere.png]] Manosphere - Sorry, but I have to prefer [[File:Menslibnoears.png]] Positive Masculinity because at least he's not a sexist shithead like you! Wait, what the hell happened to Roe v. Wade?!
 * [[File:Corp.png]] Corporatocracy - Hands off my private information megacorp.
 * [[File: Dengf.png]] Dengism - Free Tibet! Free Hong Kong! Enough with your Uyghur genocide and human rights abuses!
 * [[File:Altr.png]] Alt-Right - Piss off neo-Nazi edgelord.
 * [[File: Altl.png]] Alt-Lite - And you too. You're no better than your [[File:Altr.png]] pal above, just a moderate version of him. And quit pretending you care about free speech already, because your hijacking of that phrase is doing nothing but tainting my image.
 * [[File:Jihad.png]] Jihadism & [[File:Khom.png]] Khomeinism - Totalitarian reactionary pricks like you are probably why [[File:StramKurs.png]] one of my children is so hostile against Muslims.
 * [[File:Conservative.png]] Conservatism - You're everything except "Small Government", you bigoted asshole.
 * [[File:Authcon.png]] Authoritarian Conservatism - A regressive connie. Literally my polar opposite.
 * [[File:ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - If such a huge chunk of your citizens were so desperate to get out of your little "alliance" then you probably weren't liberating anyone.
 * [[File:Whitesup.png]] White Nationalism - Whites-only ethnostate? Sounds like Nazi Germany or the Confederates State of America.
 * [[File:Hfash.png]] Homofascism and [[File:Jnaz.png]] Jewish-Nazism - Self-hating bigots!
 * [[File:Kahan.png]] Kahanism - You may oppose antisemitism, but you are an exploitative ethnonationalist. You are no better than a regular nazcap.
 * [[File:Zemmour.png]] Zemmourism - Just a French moderate version of above.
 * [[File:WelfChauvin.png]] Welfare Chauvinism - I don't care if a decent chunk of you have some mildly culturally liberal views. Just stop denying your racism and straight up fascist sympathies already.
