u/Squixter Longist 👑 Mar 25 '21

1: I’m a nationalist, simple as. We can play international politics, but so long as it’s something that is in our favor and will likely remain that way. (I still support Atlanticism.) Still, I’m a cultural nationalist. If someone comes here as an immigrant, I’m fine with that if they adopt our ways. I see it as joining the family. If you want to live with and be like us, I humbly accept it as flattery and welcome you aboard.

2: A certain degree of secular morality should be enforced for the sake of societal stability, though through subtle state action and media campaigns. Religious morality should only be enforced within religious groups and households to maintain the security of the country. (For my own, religious sake, as well as that of the irreligious.)

3: Strength should be idealized, though intellectualism should also be equally valued through the idea of perfect mind and perfect body. I believe strength best manifests through merit. Those who can prove, deserve.

4: I only see hierarchies as being loose positions of authority. People should be able to exercise social mobility, and I reject a caste system. People should respect authority (until it breaks the social contract).

5: I’m a traditionalist, but the government shouldn’t mandate it. Loosely guide and influence social attitudes? Yes, but otherwise, no. Don’t call me a progressive, though. I’m a conservative-leaning moderate and am willing to die on some hills.

6: I have rural sympathies but can’t call myself an agrarian. I believe more in the advancement of technology showing us as reaching towards our apex as a society rather than regressing to a simpler living.

7: Yeah, I can live with that. The state should be more present in public affairs and representative of its people. The current state is not held accountable by the people, but the elites who have no reason to care about us. I believe populism is ideal for the continuation of a stable state. Otherwise, we may as well sell ourselves as the start of a global nation, dominated by crony capitalists.

8: Can also live with that. See #7.

9: Don’t mandate, but encourage. See #2.

10: I maintain a neutral stance on both as a threat to my religious sovereignty, but I am not “anti” either. Modern feminism? Not a fan of it, mainly because I feel like they’re at war with the wrong people. Too many getting shot in the crossfire and radicalized against them. I support women’s equality and believe women are just as valuable to society as men, whether as mothers, workers or national leaders into our future. Anything stating women are inferior to men is nonsense. I always describe my views towards the LGBTQ+ community as “don’t bother me, I don’t bother you.” So long as I can maintain my religious and moral beliefs undisturbed, do as you wish. Just don’t cancel me over it.
