I think I posted here before about my ideology and got some answers, but some of my views have changed, so I’ve decided to post an update and see where I fit in best. There is a lot I’m still trying to figure out.
- I’m personally socially conservative but I’m more politically moderate when it comes to actual legislation.
- I won’t go as far as to say I support the death penalty although I think it should remain as a form of punishment, albeit with significant reforms and its use reserved for very heinous crimes such as serial murder, terrorism, and for any other dangerous criminal who is unrepentant or failed at rehabilitation.
- I’m iffy about abortion, but leaning towards pro-life. I see both sides of the issue.
- I am content with the current ruling that we have on same sex marriages here in the U.S. although I think that ideally, marriage should be privatized, or at least extend “civil union” to refer to all couples in a legally recognized union regardless of whether they are same sex or opposite sex.
-I’m a Georgist (as if my avatar wasn’t obvious), but I am still open to other economic points of view and I do have some interest in anarcho-capitalism.
- I like Singapore’s healthcare system, though it’s a city-state and the U.S. is a large federation, so what works there may not work here.
- I don’t mind gun control so long as it does not punish law-abiding citizens.
- I think things work best when there is competition between the public and private sectors, like the free market and the government competing with each other over healthcare. However, if I have to pick between the two, I generally prefer the free market.
- Protecting the environment should not be a partisan issue. I support exploring alternative energy. I don’t know if I accept global warming, but I do agree that there will be consequences if we pollute and don’t take care of our planet.
- I don’t really have a stance on education other than that college is too expensive and people are left in tons of debt.
- I believe in amnesty for illegal immigrants already in the country so long as they are law-abiding, but we have borders for a reason and we should crack down on future illegals.
- We should work to improve the other parts of the world so they are better places to live in.
