Value post
My main overriding political value can be found here
I love Southern Hospitality and Southern Charm and I believe that Southern Hospitality and Southern Charm are great traits to have. Southerners are friendly. We need to make Southern Hospitality and Southern go global
I love the kindness, warmth, and welcomeness by Southerners of visitors to their homes, and throughout the South in general. I love the friendliness, politeness. manners, thoughtfulness of Southern Hospitality. The smallest gestures of thoughtfulness and kindness can make someone's day. .
I love the foods of Southerners. I love Sweet Tea and Grits. Those are the heart of beautiful southern culture
I believe we should use media and communication to disrupt privilege, build trust, and strengthen movements for social justice (by my definition). I also study threats to these movements, and how to contain the spread of anti-Blackness, real white supremacy, and inequity.
I emphasize personal autonomy and I reject alienating labor i.e. lack of ability to train in the work we'd like to do, not being paid adequately for the labor value we produce, workplace-centricity, etc.
I have equal scorn for people arguing for hopeless passivity as I do for political careerism, celebrity culture, self-righteousness, privileged vanguardism and martyrdom
I have equal scorn for people who insulate themselves in academia, scenes and cliques while also attempting to opportunistically manage struggles, as I do for people who advocate purity testing and insulating themselves in insurrectionary milieus.
I am against ostracism including political and social ostracism. Ostracism is just as bad as bullying and we need to have campaigns to oppose ostracism like we have campaigns to oppose bullying
Economics is the field of study in relation to human action within the context of scarcity.
I generally support Libertarian Unity
I try not to take away bad choices and make bad choices like sex work, porn, drugs illegal (which is what Liberal 2.0s sadly do) but everything has a limit and I have my limits with this outlook. This can be seen throughout my blog
I generally don't argue I should make rules for other people
I am part of a libertarian tradition is home to multiple persons and texts which model commitment both to individual liberty and to the consistent concern for the marginalized, both in the US and abroad. I hope we revive, energize, and extend that tradition—
This would be to demonstrate that us contemporary libertarians can, along with our traditional vindication of individual liberty, offer some effective, powerful, and innovative responses to the problems of economic vulnerability and injustice and to their social, political, and cultural consequences.
Some quotes that further reflect my socio-economic values can be found here
This is the foundations for my socioeconomic views and can be seen throughout my blog.
I generally support voluntary exchange over forced wealth distribution
Though I will settle for a mix of libertarianism, social progressivism, and markets.
Even though I am a Libertarian, I believe that addressing the needs of the economically vulnerable by remedying injustice, engaging in benevolence, doling out mutual aid, and encouraging the flourishing of bleeding heart free markets is both practically and morally important
I tend to reject state issued currency. I support an eventual moneyless , classless egalitarian society without hierarchies
On different occasions over the last half decade, I have frequently oscillated between
Me supporting variations of paleo libertarian ideology (libertarian as in European Libertarian). This is basically me supporting actually existing Delinquentistism .
This includes me , when I enter this temporary recurring state to also sanitize Mises ideology within the LP by filtering the Mises caucus views through the leftist/progressive/liberalish views of these leftists/progressives/liberals to make said Mises views progressive and or leftist (like as Left wing as Contrapoints or at worst as liberal as Josh Gottheimer) so I can support it each time I oscillate to this state of mind
AND
Me supporting Post colonial Anarchism left wing populism.
Bleeding Heart Libertarianism has a way better strategy than paleolibertarianism hence why I am a full time Bleeding Heart Libertarian and fair weather paleolibertarian
I feel that having a good or better personality should be a core political value for people in the political realm (even if they have a cult of personality)
I am a fan of Survivalism and I believe that its a good concept to live by
I have a right to question authority as do all Americans
I support the right to privacy and the right to be forgotten
I am against people having a sense of entitlement
Marxism wants us to obey the laws of our countries and be obedient to the leaders of our countries as if the leaders of our countries were Karl Marx or Frederick Engels themselves (as long as those laws don’t conflict with Marxism)
They would say “Give to each their own according to their ability and give to the state what is the state”
Marxism wants us citizens of the world to be shepherds to lost sheep (bourgeois, petty bourgeois, aristocrats and non Marxists) to help them be Marxists and usher in a socialistic revolution to help all people including thrm
I truly believe that people who are free from bourgeois vices are much happier and healthier than people who have bourgeois vices (especially while living in hierarchies and bondage to Capitalism)
I believe that people who live with bourgeois vices (especially while living in hierarchies and bondage to Capitalism) can only get true freedom once they lose their bourgeois vices (which can be easily accomplished once we abolish all hierarchies and Capitalism), hence why I have my views.
All greedy unrepented bourgeois/petty bourgeois and aristocrats , (i.e those who are of the foul , jinxed spirit who are spiritually descended from that Capitalist Cain) will not enter the Marxist utopia we create
Only bourgeois/petty bourgeois and aristocrats who become like Scrooge at the end of A Christmas Carol and become ungreedy and Marxist and or Left wing are redeemed and have become pure through the cleansing of the Marxist spirit and who are spiritually descended from what could have been Adam and Eve if they never sinned will enter the Marxist utopiaI believe the US should adopt Deism as its official religion
We need to learn about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood, and relationships that we never understand. There is some truth and good in everything.
What is missing in society is what was missing in a lot of us: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood.
Some roaring time periods like the 1980s were about acquiring things like wealth, power, prestige. But we can acquire all we want and still feel empty. What power we wouldn't trade for a little more time with the ones we care about? The truth above is that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn so easily. Our leaders must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of Western society
Social authority in decentralized free associations, extended nuclear family and friend units, collectives, religious orgs, local communities, is a necessary concept to shield the citizen from the state and is necessary for maintaining a free and valuable society.
I mostly focus on daily life and the intersectionality thereof rather than dialectics / totalizing narratives
