What is Your Political Ideology?

Why are so many people far-left?

Anyway, I'm more between centre-right and just right.

because leftism is based and redpilled and people are starting to realize that <3

Not really. Europe has survived the post-colonial era through regional economic unions such as the EU. The post-Russian states would probably form a commonwealth of some form while maintaining political sovereignty.

i just really don't see how, e.g., the independent city-state of Kellog is supposed to not collapse in on itself in the current global economy, even with a regional union

There are some minorities with populations too small to form a sovereign state - the Ket people, as you've mentioned - so they adjoin to other ethnic groups with very similar cultural traits to form a stable political entity. The best examples I can think of in this context are Dagestan, Laos, and Vietnam. In the case of Kellog, though the Ket language is an isolate, I could see the town being adjoined to either a Uralic or Turkic state nearby, such as Yugra.

I'm definitely further right than most people, but I'm not openly militant about it nor do I see my opinions as superior to others. I'm a cultural nationalist, and I believe that national borders should be drawn according to cultural and linguistic lines. I am a Hobbesian, and I believe monarchism is the most natural form of human government. Traditions are unique evolutionary adaptations created by civilizations in order to solve complex social issues.

Why a Monarchy? A government voted by the people is a stable and efficient one.

Unless if the people are insane, farmers, and/or cynical factory workers that are also consumers.

Nothing can be permanently stable, it depends on the mental stability of the person/people.

Ahahahahah. Me is laugh.

Few people are more left wing than I am, I’m a hardline communist. But more importantly than the left-right spectrum for me is governmental transparency and assurances that the ecological impact of the nation is kept at bare minimum, this may include forced abortions, parental license, and restrictive buildings codes or more complicated infrastructural routes.

All vertebrates should receive the same rights and all invasive species should be intensely monitored to not upset ecological balances.

I also identify as a neo-Mazdakite, so polyamorous-“free love”, mandatory (ento)veganism, communal adoption of all children and a theocratic-noocratic pillar in the government also all contribute to my vision.

so what's the cutoff? when is an ethnic group too small to form a state? and how different can ethnic groups be culturally before they can't reasonably form a state?
btw Dagestan is pretty unstable, so it is not really helping your case. the caucasus in general is very fraught with ethnic tensions and there is absolutely no good solution for them

[Legolannd]

Hey mates anyone here who is conservative there’s a pretty big debate going on in ‘what would it take for your to vote for Biden”. I need support over there so back me up. Plz (:

sure

The cutoff would be up to the individual states themselves. Dagestan hasn't really been that unstable since the 90s, if I'm not mistaken, and that's because of spillovers from political upheaval in Moscow. I'm aware that there is an ongoing presence of low-level insurgencies in the Caucasus, but it's nowhere near the level it was 15 to 20 years ago. If Dagestan separated from Russia, odds are that it will continue to split into separate states as the years go on due to instability, you're correct, but in the present day Dagestan is stable, especially considering that it's possibly most diverse region in the world.

so you werent being ironic when you said you wanted to ban homosexuality....

also closed borders is a strange, economically unsound and basically unimplementable idea

relationships are fine, but gay marriage should be banned.

Good to know you think I should have less rights than my straight neighbor.

That's the thing about these forums, it's a small world.

And as I said in the Biden thread, I am not a far leftist, I am a centrist social liberal.

[The Great Imperator Jeffrey]

I'm a conservative in every way.

You may say that but from what I’ve read from your forum posts in the last few days I consider you a pretty far leftist.

terrible opinion, fake news, sad

You have no place to say whether my opinion is "good" or "bad". Opinions are just that, opinions, not fact.

Ok gamers we can't criticize opinions anymore, let's close congress and the General Assembly, we're all going home.

here's a somewhat more recent article on dagestan. yes, it's surprisingly stable, but it's also a pretty precarious situation and a couple of wrong moves on the part of moscow could fuck it up

Criticism is intelligently questioning a statement or opinion. Saying an opinion is "good" or "bad" with no other context is not criticism as much as it is disagreeing with someone's opinion. It's important to distinguish between the two.
