Not OP but they create way more problems than they solve. People can end up on there for reasons like having sex with someone who lied about their age and it turns people into second class citizens unable to reintegrate into society. Sometimes these are people who had sexual disorders that can be successfully treated and thus no longer even pose a threat. Furthermore they aren't even that common, they basically only exist in Anglophone countries and even amongst those the US is the only one where they're publicly accessible thus resulting in the second class citizen issue described.

At a minimum I'd say they should at least be like in Canada, the UK and Australia and not publicly accessible.

I would limit who you put on there. People shouldn't be on them for statutory rape of an older teenager, groping, indecent exposure, exc. Just pedophiles and violent rapists.

Execution of major financial criminals.  Seriously, if you scam a bunch of old people out of their money you don't deserve to live.

I'm against the death penalty but even aside from that it is fundamentally unjust to execute someone who did not themselves kill another person.

4. We should be "ceding some areas back to nature." Depopulate the entirety of a low-population state like Wyoming or West Virginia or something and let nature retake those areas. We humans do not need the entire planet. Every country should be doing this.
Uh what? Wyoming is pretty depopulated anyway. Most of America is natural areas. Add in thousands or millions of angry people and thousands of abandoned buildings and this isn’t a very good combination.

Oh this is fun, let’s begin!

1. People who don’t wear masks in public should be captured and tested on for a vaccine.
2. Drug dealers should be given the death penalty
3. There is nothing inherently wrong with government spying
4. Colonialism isn’t inherently wrong
5. It is morally okay to kill any non-endangered/non-human animal as long as it isn’t someone else’s pet.
6. The CCP is not as bad as Western media says (they still are bad)
7. Prostitution is wrong, but should be legalized.
8. Prison slavery is okay.
9. Abolish the 17th amendment (and increase House size to 1000)
10. After you die, your body is not your property. Your organs should be seized and used for donors or medical research. Very few exemptions are allowed.
11. If you don’t vaccinate your children, they should be taken away from you
12. Bring back a form of mental asylums (slightly different ofc)
13. We should have one year of mandated military service, or Americorps service.
14. Children should be taught how to shoot guns as part of their curriculum.
15. Property tax based school funding must be abolished.

I think gun licenses, whatsoever, are an overreach but I don't think removing them is feasible in a large, modern society, unfortunately often lacking in community.

So, I tend to hold that gun licenses (and registries)—the use of them—just should not be expanded.

Billionaires should not exist.

In an ideal world where everyone had equal access to high quality education, voting should be tied to political awareness. Of course this is not feasible now without being super racist or ableist, but all else being equal? People who cannot discern truthful information from false information should not be allowed to vote.

People who don't wear masks (without legitimate medical exemption) should be publicly shamed and fined.

It should be incredibly rigorous to obtain a license to own a high capacity weapon--including yearly renewal that involves safety and storage training and demonstration.

The United States does not need a second civil war, but it does need to fracture regionally--the country is too big for its own good at this point.

The United States should refocus on expansionism. America lost something special once we stopped growing in territory. Obviously I don't want it to be through military force (with the exception of Cuba, their current government would never join willingly) like in previous times (Mexican War, Spanish War, Hawaii etc.) but through mutual approval from the US and whatever territory/country is considering joining the Union. I feel that countries should be able to retain sovereignty over most things (taxes, education, roads, criminal justice, etc.), but with some sort of federal system functioning as the overall government. There would be no border/immigration/trade controls between members, and a unified military. Basically a North American Union, I suppose. The EU has many serious faults, and I don't see why North/Central American and Caribbean countries couldn't fix and improve on the EU model.

Wow, nice. I got 84% right-radical, 83% normie, and 41% left-radical.

Thanks for posting this, btw. I have been looking everywhere for a site where I can make my own political quizzes.

I'll double up on that homeschooling should be illegal for most kids. I also think football should be illegal.

sh**t guys I just realized what mine is:

if I was in charge I'd give all people unlimited free coffee, energy drinks and amphetamines because I hate when people walk slowly or just move slowly in general with a PASSION.

I recently took MB's test, and the only statement I answered "Agree" to was "It should never be socially acceptable to consume any alcohol in any context". This already is true in dozens of countries around the world, but it's definitely radical in an American context.

I also think it'd be a good idea for NASA to have the United States Military budget.

All memes and quips aside, I'm still genuinely an anarcho-primitivist in spirit. I'm sane enough to recognize that this is a framework that won't be attained without unprecedented societal collapse and/or genocide, neither of which I actively desire for obvious reasons, but it's still my personal ideal and a major aesthetic touchstone.
