Post your unpopular political views

I believe this is an idealistic view, kind of Utopian but flawed nonetheless. I have absolutely nothing against more people working, getting decent jobs, perhaps even spearheading many nations out of mass poverty. The issue arises with distribution of wealth. Some people are greedy, have a monopoly over many, but there are others who work genuinely hard to get where they are. This kind of society would likely undermine the hard workers and upraise those who are less qualified, less hard working, and generally damage the economy. Don't take my word for it, since I know practically nothing on economy, but that's the way I see it anyway. Either way, I like your idea, just don't think it can work practically is all.



Agreed, but I think that work ethics are still very much necessary. I have a friend who would only seek out work if her occupation had a decent ethical standard. Regardless, it's true that business and work in general has effectively become a corporate machine, with workers as the cogs and CEO's as the operators (I'm so pretentious ).



This one made me giggle, because it's so true. Only who has to pay for those consequences? Not the banks, or the corporations.



I don't agree. Personally, I think the free market is one of the only decent ideals in modern day society. It's human corruption that has damaged the market, but freedom is not inherently a bad thing. Most people just make it that way.



I can't say I have any reasons to strictly point any fingers towards the military, but I'm aware that they have committed some vile acts in the past. Frankly, very much like the free market, it's another corrupt system that we have become dependent upon.

I believe that capitalism is inherently immoral and destructive, and that having outlived its ability to provide anything useful to the world the survival of civilization requires that it be overthrown. I do not reject force as a means to achieve this, though it would not be my first choice.

I believe that what we often see called a "free market" prevents the existence of a free people.

Also, I think you've got some good thoughts there, Hopper.

Wealth inequality is a good thing.

The world needs more - not less - GMO food.

Every political opinion everyone has is "unpopular" with some half of the population.

Religious institutions should be taxed as much as any other business.

Abolish government (public) schools

Legalise Freedom! (words painted on wall in Paris 1968)

I think we should hire the NFL to operate the country; get rid of state boundaries and replace them with NFL team fan regions. The NFL know what they're doing: are highly competent at "running the show" and making money. We could get rid of political parties, politicians, taxes, and idiots in government.

Biggest problem with that is the rules will change too much every year.

I'd live amid a three-way civil war here in central NJ.

Also, this would effectively make Roger Goodell president. No thanks

I am a prohibitionist
I support the prohibition of all intoxicants and support the war on drugs in principle, though I wish it had stronger tactics
I support execution for child molestation, rape, and unrepentant murder
I believe the forth amendment means that the right to privacy does not exist, only a liberty of privacy
I believe the first amendment is about intellectual freedom and not freedom of expression
I want philosophy to be taught in public schools
I believe the death of a rapist at the hands of a defender of the victim in the time of attack should be considered justified homicide
I believe the FDA should be stricter on pharmaceutical companies
I believe the black lives matter and all lives matter movements should reconcile and unite for progress
I believe there should be greater federal funding to college education grants

I'm a socialist

I don't think churches should be tax-free.

I think welfare queens should be forced to have their tubes tied.

I think the welfare system should be switched to workfare for people who are physically able to work, and more money that is being pumped into the welfare system should be used in stead to find permanent employment for welfare recipients.

I think the planet should be free for everyone to come and go as they please (in other words, no borders. All 7 billion people in the world have the right to go anywhere they please)

I believe this whole "New World Order" that Christians keep making a big deal over wouldn't be such a bad idea.

I think public hanging is the most appropriate punishment for the most heinous crimes.

Some of the views in this thread are the reason I own firearms.

Am I that scary?

Democratic Socialism. Though that is more specifically around here and facebook....IRL seems to be gaining some popularity but for some people its not 'merican enough.
