Republican. Having less government and restrictions is what's best. In doing so, competition starts, and low prices appear again.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas  commented…3yrs3Y

When has that ever actually been true though? I understand that it is a common laissez-faire market capitalism defense, but when has that actually ever provided better, or even good, outcomes for society, much less even the benefits it claims to produce?

 @9G9GN2ZRepublican from Idaho  answered…3yrs3Y

Limited Federal Power and more reliability on state power/charities. Healthcare and Social Security will not work in the long run.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas  commented…3yrs3Y

So your ideology is just...authoritarianism?

 @B1cameralSheep from Tennessee  agreed…3yrs3Y

Not necessarily authoritarianism. One can hold a pro-life stance, which advocates for the rights of the unborn, without advocating for authoritarian control in all aspects of life. For example, one could strongly support individual freedoms in areas such as free speech, gun ownership, or economic enterprise, while still believing that the right to life is fundamental and should be protected. Would you say it's possible to hold seemingly contrasting beliefs in one's political ideology?

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas  commented…3yrs3Y

I think that there are obviously several different axes that go along with any ideology, although being consistent in your ideals is important.

For example, I think advocating for the rights of "the unborn" fundamentally takes away rights of the already born, which is worse. Also, I would definitely argue that "economic enterprise" is a largely economic authoritarian belief as well.

Not that it is super objectively helpful, but I'd be curious to see where a generalized political compass test would place you...

I AM A FASCIST

  @TruthHurts101 from Washington  commented…3yrs3Y

Fascism is just an ultra-nationalistic form of socialism – it's just as evil and promotes the same wealth redistributionist programs.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas  disagreed…3yrs3Y

lol this is a completely ahistorical, and even just blatantly incorrect, interpretation of both fascism AND socialism. Fascism is literally a far-right political movement most characterized by its reactionary totalitarianism against left-wing movements, whereas socialism is a left-wing economic ideology in which the means of production are socially-owned. So you not only failed to correctly describe or define either term, but also incorrectly connected two diametrically opposed concepts.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…2yrs2Y

Holy- okay, history lesson here. Benito Mussolini, big driver of fascism. He himself has analyzed and used the ideology of fascism. Fascism, when it spread in Italy and Germany, were built as far-right systems, as it is inherently. Its main goal is a form of national rejuvenation, or bringing it back to a “glorious past”, often manifested through rejecting violence as a pointless and negative theme, instead glorifying it as a means of change for the desired outcome. By its inherent belief, it rejects all socialism and Marxist ideals. If the leader of that fascist regime is against…  Read more

A system designed to fail at its heart, one that intentionally singles out minority groups with historical injustice and then uses them as the propellant to bring it ever closer to totalitarianism.

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
