Your view furthest outside the Overton window?

[Oldiesfreak1854]

My views on the tax system for one

-Keep the base income tax rate of 10% but cap at 25%
-Implement a national sales tax of -0.5% on food/medicine, 1% on other stuff, and 5% on luxury items
-Raise the excise tax on cigarettes and tobacco products to $20/pack
-Double alcohol taxes
-Increase the gas tax to $1.00/gallon by 2028
-Reduce the corporate tax rate to 5%
-Eliminate the inheritance/estate tax
-Implement a wealth tax of 3% on wealth over $100 Million and 6% over $1 Billion


Reduce the child tax credit and abolish the earned income tax credit

Ban on most gender-affirming care for those under 18

I can get on board with much your tax preferences except raising gas taxes, abolishing or reducing the tax credits and implementing a wealth or national sales tax.  I also support banning trans surgery on most minors.

The lives of many animals(eg chickens, pigs) have the same level of value as humans. Meat is murder.

Is there anything particular about chickens that makes you see them as valuable as humans? (Pigs seems more understandable to me.)

They can suffer just like us is a lot of it.

[John Dule]

Money should not exist in any capacity, for any reason, and its very existence is deeply immoral.

Of course...there's nothing I can do about that, and I have to make and spend money. But I sincerely believe it should be abolished entirely.

When your grandmother gives you $100 for your upcoming 13th birthday, you’ll start to appreciate the utility of money more.

23, about to finish my Master's degree, working, union member, and supporting myself, but thank you

Oh, so then you must recognize the utility of a fungible and nonexpirable store of value.

No, never have. I used to work at a circle k. I'm a student now.

Well Circle K still sells plenty of meat.

I quit the job a while ago.

Support for Armed School Teachers as a deterrent to school shootings.

[Skill and Chance]

Support for Armed School Teachers

I mean, certain states already allow it.  I don't think that's outside the Overton window unless you want to make it a mandatory job duty for teachers to be armed or something.

[Ferguson97]

Support for Armed School Teachers as a deterrent to school shootings.

Unfortunately, this position is not as unpopular as you might think it is. I think most polling shows that a majority of Republicans support it, so you're looking at like 40% of the public agreeing with you.

-Vegetarianism is definitely the way to go. I'm not a vegetarian personally but I feel like that's a moral failing of mine.
If an advanced post-revolutionary society, if it ever exists, they should look at ways to bioengineer nature to get rid of interspecies exploitation (transitioning carnivores to plant based diets). I'm not saying it should be on the top of the bucket list but it should be explored.
-speaking of that, we need a governmental and social revolution and radically alter the way we perceive things out of a capitalist and hierarchical framework, followed by implementing socialism.
-So yeah we need a new constitution and a new form of government
-we should be seriously looking into free energy technology and if advanced civilizations are visiting us from wherever, we should harness their capabilities.
-we should also find ways to control the weather to prevent hurricanes, wildfires, natural disasters, etc. I guess if future humanity ever advances to that point we could probably look into preventing earthquakes and ultimately save the planet from destruction once the sun implodes.
-Serious research also needs to go into the afterlife. We need to get a better understanding of where we come from and where we'll end up.

I promise i'm relatively normal guys

Well good luck with that one.

Somehow devising ways to travel out of our solar system is surely the way to go there.

[TheReckoning]

Blackmailing powerful groups and people a là J. Edgar Hoover is an entirely valid way of exercising state power.

[Agonized-Statism]

Space offers us very little and expansion into it would be actively harmful even under a stateless and classless society, but especially under capitalism because it can make powerful people value Earth even less by giving them somewhere else to go and a great place to drop weapons of mass destruction from. Not that they would thrive, since we've evolved within very specific living conditions and can't survive long-term without Earth's gravity, magnetosphere, or pressure. The distances between resources are so vast even within our solar system that space mining wouldn't be profitable even with fantastical technologies, but even if it were, we've damaged our own planet enough. The materials needed to build a Dyson sphere around the Sun to "progress" to a Type II civilization would take the destruction of whole sections of the asteroid belt and the inner ring planets. I'm not some armchair philosophizing deep green who's all in on anti-anthropocentrism- our exploitation of sentient life is wrong in principle, but under our conditions right now it's justifiable, not everyone in the world can go meatless yet for example- but there's an argument to be made about the ethics of terraforming other planets. And if we end up encountering other life, the odds are that we would repeat what the Europeans did in the Americas or get crushed ourselves.

This is probably a rare take because those who oppose space exploration are usually only concerned about short-term cost. I've come to doubt it would ever be a good thing even in the far future.

Also, there should be no regulation at all on personal ownership of weapons. No one should have a monopoly on violence. American society does have a violence problem, not just with guns, and it comes from social atomization reaching unprecedented heights.

[PSOL]

It may be worth looking into if high population density should be discouraged as it generally reinforces reactionary politics and packs people in like rats in a cage.

[Sol]

I think metropolitan areas should be forcibly amalgamated, across state lines if necessary and taking the broadest possible interpretation (i.e. CSAs rather than MSAs).

[Aurelius2]

When I'm in the mood to do a little trolling I like to say that there should be a tax on population density.

Cherokee Zionism. I will not be answering further questions at this time.

The US should've severed diplomatic relations with Brazil while Bolsonaro was in power.

The US and EU should institute an indefinite ban on entry into their countries by Russian military veterans, police, and government workers.

The government should grant tax discounts to "original" movies (aka ones that are not sequels, reboots or based on an existing franchise) and should impose a tax penalty on superhero ones.

Music venues should be eligible to receive state funding, but only ones that are not seated.

Both production and sale of open-toe women's footwear should be tax exempt.

My support for and approval of Minnesota's laws on THC sales which don't exist anywhere else in the world and only do in Minnesota because Ryan Winkler is a f[inks]ing badass who fooled Republicans.

Cherokee Zionism. I will not be answering further questions at this time.

The Ten Lost Tribes escaped to America and became the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk, Wyandotte, Susquehanna, Tuscarora, Nottoway, and Cherokee. When you consider the similarities between the traditional Iroquoian religions and languages with Judaism and Hebrew, such a comparison almost seems obvious.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Lyndon LaRouche had some good ideas.
