Political, Philosophical, and Religious views

Post Reply New Topic

Just list what your actual views are here.

Political:
1980's Republican basically, I'm pro-Israel, anti-abortion, pro lifelong heterosexual monogamy, pro-freedom of speech.
Philosophical: pessimism basically, since it's easier to expect the worst and be proven wrong.
Religious: Christian, nondenominational, protestant, somewhere between Baptist and Pentecostal.

Political: Justice is for those that can afford it
Philosophical: I like the teachings of Confusius even if it means I conveniently have to forget he hardly ever mentions women. If ever, it's been some years since I last read The Analects.
Religious: Organised religion is more about belonging then believing...

Political: Libertarian Conservative, Deontological Minarchism - Pro life (except in the cases of rape, incest, extreme financial instability and threat to the mother's and/or fetuses health), Pro-Gun, Pro-Individual Rights, Free-market capitalism (Austrian Economics - Mises/Rothbard), Sound Money, Non-Interventionism, Freedom of Assembly, Association, Choice, Information, Press, Religion, Speech and Thought, Cognitive liberty, Negative Liberty, Personal and Moral Responsibility.

Philosophy: Pro-Individualism, Pro-Natural Law, Pro-Meritocracy, Pro-Independent Thinking (not the so-called conformance "free-thought"), Anti-Cultural Marxism, Anti-"Progressivism", Anti-Neo-conservatism, Anti-Religious Fundamentalism, Anti-Creationism, Anti-Postmodernism, Anti-Imperialism, Anti-Supranationalism (IMF, World Bank, UN, EU and WTO), Anti-Collectivism (inc group-think), Anti-Identity Politics (I was once a neurodiversity activist), Anti-Moral Relativism and Anti-Hedonistic Libertinism.

Religion: Agnostic Atheist and I'm against Organized Religion.

Political: Fascist Anarchist

Philosophical: Hobbesist and Lovecraft conservative(without the racism).

Religious: Satanic Christian from Hell

Politics: Liberal Radical Centrist
Religion: None
Epistemology: Empiricism (in the main)
Ethics: objective, and mostly teleological, but with deontological and aretaic components (essentially, I believe deontological and aretaic goods can be understood in utilitarian terms)
Aesthetics: objective

Politics: I am a meaningless slave.
I live and breathe at Their whim.
Their power is nearly Absolute.
If I were to resist them in anyway(which I won't)....1. I would be destroyed by Them without a thought....and 2. Nothing I could ever do would affect Them in anyway, so why bother provoking such dreadful consequences?...I therefore will submit and if I am really lucky my life will be somewhat tolerable. Some people will resist and they will be ground up by the Machine, be scattered to the wind and will have changed nothing.

Philosophy: Labels do not appeal to me. I love the Discipline of Philosophy itself.

Religion: They find it to be very useful to help control the feeble-minded. Religion is a manifestation of low intelligence and the unwillingness to engage in critical thinking. I mean, a talking snake, really?!?!?

Politics: Pragmatic, liberal, realistic, social-capitalist hybrid. Probably pretty close to European Social Democracy

Philosophical: Essentially empirical, though most philosophical viewpoints have SOME basis. Anti-dogmatism.

Religious: Essentially Agnostic-Atheist, though with a respect for those who practice religion/believe in Supreme Beings.

Objectivism.

Which for some reason inspires no end of smears and straw-man attacks. Here's a brief summary from a reliable source:

https://www.aynrand.org/ideas/philosophy

I believe in the Sermon on the Mo unt, in a sense, and I am opposed to New Ath eism to the extent that it is in opposition to the values expressed therein. That's a pretty large extent.

Meh pretty much the opposite....pro the government should stay out of peoples personal lives and abortions none of my business unless its my abortion which I would have if I got pregnant and the morning after pill didn't work, of course it would be in early terms. So pro government staying out of personal lives, pro social safety network/government serving/helping the people/society function to the best of its ability while maintaining personal rights, freedoms and not telling you how to live your personal life or trying to discourage deviance from norms like heterosexuality.

And no religion.

Political: Nonpartisan Jeffersonian constitutionalist; anti-federalist

Philosophical: Paine-sian individualist with occasional populist engagements; anti-statist

Religious: Abjectly nondenominational red-letter Bible Christian; borderline Episcopalian

Political: Despite my disillusionment with both major parties, I still vote Democrat.

Religion: I am Catholic.

Philosophical: I've taken some courses in varying areas. I think here in terms of favorite philosophers. Among them are Pascal, Aristotle, Camus. Additionally, I'm attracted by Zen Buddhism but I've really only read some DT Suzuki and Shunryu Suzuki. I distrust individuals seeking power. I distrust badges, ranks, titles--more accurately I distrust those people who enjoy waving them about as though they matter or define any goodness

Political: I say I detest politics because of the denatured state of things in US these days. I do not like any political party that would use a person's or a group of people's lives for the purpose only of vote-getting and consolidating power under its name. And because I get fooled too often, I'm wary of promises generally. Extend this to politics

Religion: I believe in a loving God, more specifically I'm a Christian taking much from Lutheran theology. At the same time I have always enjoyed and gathered much in how to look at the world, so as to try to enjoy more, reading Bonaventure, St. Francis, Aquinas, and Anselm among others in that similar line

Political/Ethical/Philosophical
Competionism (against backwards "anti-trust" approach)
Trade liberal
Pro economic migration (broadly)
Businesses instead of "companies" (legal entities with limited liability, of various classes or privilege)
Patent reform
Pro differentiation, but not at the expense of allowing control of sectors or future proofing
Anti collusion
Anti protectionism disguised as rights/property
Harm principle
No legal definitions/governance in family, relationships or private life
Separation of church and state
Long-term pragmatism
Politics of persuasion rather than sound bites or appealing to existing preconception

Religion
N/A , but support freedom of religion and no religion, which is why it is important separate religious or cultural practices from legal association, to protect this.
