1. The goals of eugenics are noble, even though in practice I feel like it would yield some unsavory results.

2. Ted Kaczynski and Varg Vikernes are right about some things, specifically how industrialized society domesticates man to be something that is entirely removed from nature and that is ultimately detrimental to us spiritually.

All the world should be under a single democratic government.

The voting age should be 11 or 12.

There should be a 100% or higher marginal rate for any earnings over 50 times the median income, and no tax deduction whatsoever can apply beyond twice the median income.

Anyone should be guaranteed an income of 75% of the median, in addition to free housing, health care, education, childcare etc.

Prison should only be reserved for the most heinous crimes, and anyone sentenced to it should be let out at any time if they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they have reformed.

The pharmaceutical and tech industries should be partially or totally nationalized (along with the obvious ones like railways etc).

All businesses should be worker-owned cooperatives regardless of size or complexity.

Disabled people, as a group, are morally superior to non-disabled people.

Non-democracies have no inherent right to sovereignty.

All success is random and the vast majority of conventional wisdom given in life is bullsh**t made up to avoid this reality.

Most jobs are un-necessary redundant scams and working for the sake of working is overrated and pathetic. I mean i still work but I'm well aware of the pointlessness of my job and could care less about it.

Religion is a giant coping mechanism but despite that I wish I could believe in this stuff...I think it'd make my life easier to be a true believer but there's no way in hell I could believe it.

Psychiatry is a scam that seeks to correct behaviors that, though unsavory, are probably normal and you'd be much better off accepting and coping with your problems than trying to fix them. (Also there is no genetic link for depression)

Modernity is an overrated scam.

College is a scam. Most jobs could just be taught without a college degree. College degrees are a way for wealthy liberals to keep poor and middle class people out of certain industries they hold a monopoly in.

I support a limited Freedom Dividend - if you make $40,000-$80,000 annually, you receive $2,000-$6,000 annually. $80,000-$120,000 you phase it out - $50 less for every thousand dollars more you make. This would be primarily funded by reducing all non-SNAP/SS welfare spending. Up to $14,000 annually for those who make under $8,000(those will be the ones receiving the maximum amount) annually.

Raise immigration limits by at least 60% within three years.

Raise Social Security/Medicare avg. age to 68 within nine years.

Massive NASA spending - $80-90 billion plus.

Value-Added Tax of 5%.

49.5% income bracket on those making over $500,000/$1,000,000.

1% wealth tax on those worth over $75 million
2% wealth tax on those worth over $150 million
3% wealth tax on those worth over $300 million

.05% financial transactions tax

Full and complete audit of Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, unemployment benefits, the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, the VA, Health & Human Services, Education, Intelligence, State, HUD,  Energy, Agriculture, Justice, and Transportation - AKA most of the federal budget, if not all of it.

Abolish the nation state, at the moment it is active drag on both living standards and our ability to implement genuine democracy

Private Property and "liberty" are inherently incompatible

We should introduce a 100% inheritance tax on estates that exceed roughly $250k

Abolish all private and fee paying schools. Aside from the fact that they entrench and reproduce privilege, if you abolished them, you would find that a lot more funding is suddenly available to the public school system

Plus a lot of what Antonio and Nathan have already said about taxes and capitalism (although I thin some businesses should be customer owned mutuals rather than worker owned co-ops; banks and insurance funds are probably the best two examples of this)

-Social Security and pensions as they are designed now are a pyramid scheme and 100% unsustainable in the long run (we still need to pay old people's pensions somehow though).

-Both life imprisonment and the death penalty should be abolished, with a maximum sentence of 30-35 years regardless of crime. Everyone, even the most hideous criminals deserves a second chance to turn things around.

Besides the regular hardcore Libertarianism eg little to no government interference in the market I will say from a philosophical standpoint

No one should be allowed to own land.

Obviously this is completely stupid from an economical standpoint so a LVT is a good compromise there.

LVTs and other forms of taxes that aren't based on labor but usage of natural resources such as carbon or mineral extraction taxes are the only taxes I don't see as theft.

Wow.  You and I are way too much alike.  And you yearn for religion to cope because you’ve probably found more truth than you know.

As for psychiatry...there are medicines that address measurable chemical imbalances and therapeutic practices that seek to consciously co-opt the way your brain “wires” itself into bad behaviors over time...to stop or replace those behaviors with a better alternative. 

But let’s face it...psychiatry is just another coping mechanism to deal with the world.

Well duh they were designed to rely on the population pyramid remaining a pyramid.  But countries like Spain no longer have a pyramid, but a mushroom cloud.

I think, without a massive change, entire subregions of Europe will be abandoned and a massive European migration will occur in the 21st century.  Southern Europe is in for massive change.  The Great Consolidation will occur and Europe will have to unite to rescue the mainly elderly, hreatly reduced populations of eastern, central, and southern Europe.

Joseph Stalin did very little wrong and was, all in all, an upstanding guy and great revolutionary.

Holodomor was fake.

DPRK, China, and Cuba are all viable examples of actually existing socialism that we should learn from and seek to emulate.

Russia is good and cool.

worldwide federation is an achievable and necessary goal if we are to truly end the stranglehold the global elite have over the economy. This would eventually entail the abolition of all standing armies, intelligence agencies, hard borders, tariffs, restrictions on freedom of movement and wealth disparities between the developing and developed worlds.

All identity politics not based around our shared identity as members of Homo sapiens are divisive and serves the interests of the aforementioned global elite.

Any person who makes over a certain amount of money should be forced to receive extensive tuition in classics, calligraphy, appreciation of the fine arts etc. If we have to have rich people, they may as well be cultured.

Not really out of the Overton Window, but probably one of my more unusual/unexpected views: Israel should keep the Golan Heights.

My problems with recognizing it is the Crimean dispute and how the Golan issue probably was virtue signaling by Trump to Russia and Evangelicals.

-Gay marriage should be federally repealed.

-Women who make false rape accusations should face the same amount of jail time that her victim would have had.

-All sexual crimes on minors should be dealt with the death penalty.

-The US should cut all ties with both Israel and Saudi Arabia.

- All property taxes should be abolished.
- All estate taxes should be abolished.
- The 16th amendment should be repealed, and thus the Federal Income Tax should be nullified.
- There should be a federal ban on the damming up of major waterways to create new reservoirs.
- I believe in Jus sanguinis: citizenship at birth is determined by the citizenship status of one's parents.
- Age limits for purchasing alcohol and tobacco products should be voided
- All state beverage "commissions" (cartels) should be abolished.
- The military draft should be permanently abolished, and defense spending should be cut by 70-80%.
- The voting age should be raised to 25
- Landlords should have total discretion in who they choose to rent out to, and should be able to select their tenants or ask them to leave for any reason.
- The federal minimum wage should be abolished
- The United States should withdraw from the UN

and,

I think we should be able to own and buy machine guns without federal notice, registration, or licensing.
To expound upon this, I think that any member of Congress who introduces legislation that is designed to directly infringe upon the 1st or 2nd amendments should face compulsory expulsion from Congress.

This is just a small sample. I could spend hours typing these.
