how about we dont label people so that if and when there's an issue we wont automatically tack on a specific ideology to that person whether right or wrong


"oh he's such a republican dumbass"

would be replaced with

"oh he's such a dumbass"

Aren't you always the one to point out one's party affiliation in some scandalous news story?

I don't know what label I'd give myself. I would hope that I wouldn't be tied down to one particular mindset when debating laws and policies that affect millions.

 

[Raziaar]

The best word I can use to describe myself is...

Progressive.

To some, that's a terrible word and represents everything evil in this world. To me, those people are idiots and they should go **** themselves. Nothing wrong with the word progressive.

Sounds like a Libertarian to me... It's how I view myself, as well.

 

[hakojo]

Yeah, and I associate with lots of libertarians, personally...it's just that if I describe myself as one, some people tend to go SO YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE WACKOS WHO THINKS 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB, AND THAT BARACK OBAMA HAS NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE, RIGHT?

...which I'm not. It's just easier this way.

I'm pretty sure you guys all know what my ideological beliefs are, since I've made many threads and long posts on them.

For the newcomers and those without memory:

My ideology rests on the quasi-religious belief of the Sacred State, "everything for the state, everything of the state, nothing against the state". It could be seen as a form of extreme statism or something reminiscent of the theocratical goverments of the middle-east, but my ideology explicitly condemns religion. The State is not sacred because it is of God, it is sacred because it is God. (Or, rather, the closest thing that mankind has come up with) However, the Sacred State, despite her infinite wisdom, has certain responsibilities of her own. Namely, the protection of citizens' lives and property, the gradual elimination of those disruptive elements of society, and the final goal of true social justice, and the extermination of communism. The State exists to protect the people; the people exist to protect the State. Maybe Sulkdodds was right when he said that 1984 was a criticism of my own beliefs. But then again, I don't believe in the extinguishing of the self.

I have also many other tendencies, one being the almost xenophobic nature of my nationalistic beliefs. But that is not to say that I am a racist. Indeed, my nationalism actually comes from the belief that it is a cohesive element in society. If society were to be fragmented because of nationalism, I would likely abandon it. Authoritarianism, I suppose, comes with my Statist beliefs.

My stance on morality and purity are not religious. They rather spout from the basic confuscian beliefs of ages old. Homosexuality, however, I am not against because of ethical concerns. I actually have no ethical concerns regarding most practices accepted in society. I am against homosexuality because it is a disruptive element of society. Unfortunately, if homosexuality were to be widely accepted among society (meaning that a large proportion of citizens are homosexual), I might still be against it because of concerns that rise from depopulation.

I will not state my beliefs regarding the Final Struggle, the Last Triumph, and the Collectivization of the Will, terms that I have managed to coin in political discussions in class, since I have to get to class right now.



Any questions, comments?

 

[The Monkey]

How would you go about finding a final solution to the Jewish question?

 

[Krynn72]

Usually when Numbers posts stuff like that I find it quite humorous because he never really strikes me as serious about it, since its always so over the top. But this this time he's frightened me. I know we always joke about how you're messed up Numbers... but in all honesty... you're messed up.

 

[kineaesth]

I'm suddenly a little nervous, too.

 

[15357]

Well, in terms of efficiency, arresting and gassing them could be a solution. However, selectively rounding up entire ethnic groups pose immediate challenges for the local and national police and security forces, and the mass murder of the said group will undoubtably be seen as unethical. Therefore, certain amounts of secrecy is required. Unfortunately, if the group itself is large, it would be impossible to maintain complete secrecy. In the modern era, it is impossible to gain public support for such an endeavor. Therefore, controlled epidemics may be an option in concentrated areas. However, if the said population is fragmented, and prevalent in society, it is likely that there is actually no reason to solve said problem. Indeed, if said group poses no threat, why remove them?

But anyway, for example, if we were to solve the Jewish question in China, it could be easily done. First of all, there are very few Jewish residents in China, there is already a system of police-military cooperation, and a national security force already exists that is capable of excercising violent force without fear of reprisal and being found out.

However, as another example: America's African population will pose many problems, however. Africans are already numerous, and hold key positions in central Government, Military, Law Enforcement, etc. etc. as well as local offices. As I've said, there is really no need to do so, but if we were to eliminate the African population, we would first need complete and total control over the military and the police, the tools of controlled violent force of the State. Sytematic obliteration of selected groups is then possible, but not without short and long term repurcussions.


Finally, it is unlikely that a final solution for any ethnic group is possible.

Need to get back home, will be back in an hour.


Edit: It has come to my attention that some of you believe that I am serious about this issue. These are ideas that I've played around with in my head, yes, but I would prefer that you'd all laugh at the absurdness of those said ideas, for numerous reasons. I am not serious most of the time. Most of the time.

 

[Danimal]

Numbers bro, you need to realise we are all just one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.

pretty much

 

[No Limit]

Nah, he can't be serious.

[CptStern]

ya sure now that we've caught on to his true nature he's trying to blindside us with attempts at being sarcastic.

WE'RE ON TO YOU NUMBERS <mashes Report Citizen button>

 

[<RJMC>]

well isnt the state the most sacred thing in the world for you all comunists?

 

[Eejit]

Er, many forms of communism reject the idea of the nation state.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Does "jaded" count?

That's called defeatism.

Politically speaking, I'm just a contrarian douchebag somewhere between Fascist and Democratic Socialist. I'm certainly more fiscally conservative than most hardcore liberals I know and tend towards insane levels of social liberalism.

I plan to be a gun owner until I start a family, am disgusted by the amount of misappropriated spending and unethical business practices, am in favor of full legalization of drugs along with further regulation of the pharm industry, along with that sentiment, I would like our business with Israel and Saudi Arabia to come to an abrupt end, as it disgusts me.

try rephrasing so he'll understand



the communists is whit the peoples not the governments
