lol good thread for all the political side rants/tangents we get into. time to state some opinions and political solutions that are controversial. This is not like a manifesto, just a few thoughts I've always had on popular policy talking points
- Economic Policy: mostly keep everything libertarian or free market in policy, with exemptions on military spending, courts, and at least half of the infrastructure and industrial sector should be state funded (simply to provide competition to free enterprise, and options for low income citizens). Free markets, that are fair and properly regulated are by far the most efficient form of markets by far.
- Immigration: Don't pay for immigrants/refugees to live here off of taxpayer dollars, and they will self deport (or be outcompeted), or be culturally and then ethnically homogenized. Take in mostly people of your own or similar ethnicity/culture who are educated and safe. Be stringent with all other kinds of immigrants, especially young male "refugees".
- Finance and monetary policy: Abolish privatized central banking and ban the practice of usury. Institute a state bank that prints money free of debt and interest. Ban both foreigners and citizens who have dual allegiance OUT of the nations money supply and monetary policy, as well as political careers too, especially pertaining to the state's economic and monetary sectors.
- Crime: Punish obscene and violent forms of crime with the highest reasonable forms punishment, death penalty for confirmed murderers, rapists, foreign/domestic terrorists for example. paying back in full the damages of culpable stolen or destroyed property of another as another example. I would go as far as publicly beating people who litter, but that's just me and ideally several votes would come to the kinds of punishments permissible to all kinds of low-end to high-end crime.
- Foreign Policy: Be open to working with and trading with others, especially those who you have good relation or reason with but always at a distance, and mostly remain isolationist in practice. Do not involve the nation with complicated networks of alliances and treaties, and globalist/international organizations
- Abortion rights: imo women should be allowed to abort their fetuses' in the first few weeks, I believe once a baby develops a functioning heart and a brain its essentially unquestionably human life at that point. Others may disagree that it starts at conception, or that it starts way later (lunatics but whatevs), that's ultimately for the public to vote for. My only gripe is that abortion should not be subsidized by anything. If you as a woman want an abortion, pay for it yourself or with the consensual aid of your partner. If you were raped or sexually assaulted, in my world you'd have no issues aborting the baby within a timely manner, and I don't look down on you for doing so.
- Education: Ideally it should be split between private, public and yes even homeschool 30/30/40. Homeschooling should replace pre-school (or variants of pre-school), and be the foundation of a kids' upbringing, public/private schools should be for adolescents, with greater emphasis for trade schools for young adults (15-20) to prepare them for live in the real world and colleges/universities should only be for the most promising and industrious students, with minimal (but not nothing) state subsidies provided. Grants and scholarships should not be handed out to 'disenfranchised' groups, they would be given out only to the most intelligent and competent people regardless of anything else.
these are just ramblings though, and not to be taken too seriously
