I was 16, I thought making fun of George W was funny
In 2004 I was 18 and voted for Michael Badnarik (the Libertarian candidate for president).
In the current year, I am going to be voting for Bernie Sanders in the democratic primary when it hits my state in a month.
I grew up and stopped being selfish.
>>27073496
Four white men ARENT diverse because all four represent the oppressive mainstream, while 4 black people represent the oppressed minority class and is therefore okay. It's an issue when the oppressed have no voice, not when there's less people defending the oppressive group

One where blacks are locked up and stripped of their rights at a ratio of six to one to white people, despite arrest rates between the two races falling roughly along demographic lines.
>>27073666
"We need more black people in Congress"
I wonder why you specified black people, why not asians and latinos as well in that statement. Obviously you want to benefit your own people. Not too far off from the whities eh.

>>27073314
>What was your political stance 10 years ago?
I wasn't aligned with any specific party, if that's what you're asking. There aren't enough parties in the U.S. (at least, those worth voting for) to represent everyone's values, so people end up pigeon-holing themselves in with Republicans or Democrats.
My social and economic views ten years ago are probably mostly identical to what they are now. I guess I would summarize those as:
>Mind your own fucking business.
>Keep the government out of our personal lives as much as possible.
>Keep religion out of state affairs.
>Don't let big corporations systematically exploit their workers, deceive the public, shit all over the environment or outsource cheap labor.
Yes, I'm pro gun for all you /k/ommados and /pol/lacks. I'm also pro LGBT rights, pro choice and frankly don't give a shit what sort of lifestyle anybody leads as long as it doesn't encroach on anyone else's rights.
I won't do a full dump but here's a few.
>>27073706
What if they are just different?
Should we change the law so less of them get put in there?
Should we have a racist law that give blacks a free get out of jail free card?
Do the crime do the time just like everyone else.
Open minded liberal "freethinker" who thought that giving literally everybody a voice in matters was the best way
Now I'm a Christian who is mostly socially conservative but I still have some different opinion than your typical right winger
Politics really don't matter though. Shit is fucked
Such a lovely political climate.

But yes tell me how the white experience is the same as the black experience in America
Also what's with suddenly changing definitions of words to suit one's argument and not accepting a dictionary definition as proper?
>>27073706
Whites also get locked up and I really dont see how more blacks ending up in jail makes them anymore oppressed then the white man, mexican man and asian man.
I was a big dumb conservative with inconsistent views.
Now I'm a big dumb decentralist with inconsistent views, because I really like non-dogmatic leftism but also honour and chivalryI know, tips fedora, supreme gentleman, ect.as found in a lot of right-wing beliefs.
>>27073891
Because anyone who doesn't agree with my definitions are a Nazi communist fascist Bolshevik.
>>27073770
I'd like some more, please
here you go champ :))
>>27073919
Whites and blacks get arrested at similar rates, but one grouo has a much higher conviction rste and incarceration rate. In other words, the police believe them to be guilty at similar rates, but they receive different results in the crimjnal justice system. If you get arrestes as a black male you are exponentially more likely to be convicted than you are if you are white
>>27073935

How did they do this?
Do you have a solution that isnt racist and tell me more about this system someone made and how they did it?
I live in canada where this race issues isn't a thing here and we pretty much have the same system.
The ride just never ends. Whee.

These arrests only matter if we know what they're arrested for.........I mean if you look at the asian arrest rate its super low is that because the cops dont care if the asian man is selling heroin ?

This sums up every femanon thread, every trip fag
I used top be a right-winger and christian fundamentalist.
Then I learned the basics of critical thinking and shifted into a libertarian world view.
Then I learned a bit more about human nature and realized that libertarianism would just let the rich control everything and rule over everyone else without any moral or ethical restrictions.
I'm slowly becoming a populist national socialist. I also kind of like non-bulshevized communism.
Conservatives and libertarians are puppet philosophies used by the rich to divide and conquer the poor and middle class.
You have to be mentally challenged to think the rich aren't your enemy.

>>27073314
>Implying that the average 4chan/r9k poster had any real political stances 10 years ago when he was 8 or 9 years or or even younger
but anyways I'm 30 year old so:
10 years ago:
Economic: capitalism bad, socialism (in the Nordic sense) good, vaguely anarchist.
Social: everyone regardless of their ethnicity and gender and sexual orientation deserves respect and equality, including religious people, but I still think that trannies and a lot of homosexuals are crazy sex freaks but hey that's life.
Today:
Economic: same
Social: same, except now I'm more feminist and also that trannies and tranny-enablers should be sent to red-education camps.
but also overall I'm a lot less radical for most things. 10 years ago I was a dumpster-diving freegan who was concerened about saving Tibet and saving Palestine and saving the Amazon rainforest and saving the Ice Caps and now I'm more concerned with saving myself first, and the rest of the entire god damn world later and I eat regular food that doesn't come from a dumpster. and also gave up on the anarchism meme. It's not happening anywhere in my lifetime.
>>27074185
You'll never know the deep sorrow of a fat black woman.
I was a marxist-leninist following the line of Enver Hoxha
now I'm a Marxist-Trumpist
Jokes aside, I don't really stick to a concrete political stance. I've read fascist, libertarian, conservative, and socialist literature, and they all have their good points.
/pol/ and experiencing the SJW left first hand has destroyed a lot of my liberal illusions regarding race/sex/religion, but I still have no ill will towards different groups as long as they can respect boundaries and leave others alone.
Labour then Labour now, not a fan of Corbyn though.

now: anarchist
>>27074246
Vaguely familiar. I'm looking it up now.
I was also a green anarchist and then anarcho-primitivist, amongst other things, during my anarchist years and hung out with other dumpster divers and lots of rooftop/guerilla gardeners.
It's not like I gave up, but more like whatever happens in the Arctic or North Korea or Brazilian rainforest or Palestine or wherever else that isn't my city isn't something that I can REALLY change. I stopped taking other people's problems and making them a source of stress for me. I'm more focused on the whole "be the change you want to see in the world" instead of trying to force to give a shit about a never-ending amount of issues and causes. I still try to be as green as possible and I'm sure that once I move out I'll be dumpster-diving out of necessity instead of a youthful rebellious principle.
>>27074170
And what if you end up rich?
>>27074380
Which flavour of anarchism senpai?
Or are you one of those "throw bricks at McDonalds first, worry about the infrastructure and the economy and conflict resolution in an anarchist society later" nondescript anarchists who believe in "anarchy" rather than Anarchism?
>>27074018
Of course. Throughout post-Civil War, there were many laws and business practices that created the situation, among them things like Jim Crow Laws, racially restrictive access to credit, redlining, 100 to 1 sentencing for crack compared to cocaine, the funding of schools through property taxes, disproportionate use of government public works money in affluent areas, and disconnection from basic resources like trauma hospitals and mass transit (most notable in Chicago's South Side). As a result of a century of blatantly discriminatory laws, black neighborhoods became impoverished. These neighborhoods, being poor, generate very little property tax revenue, which leaves very little funding towards the schools. As result, black students go to crumbling, underfunded schoools, then we act surprised they don't have the same results as white kids.
To further highlight the effects of the cycle of poverty, look at Appalachia. This region is white but is facing the same cyclical poverty for the same reason: the people of these regions do not have the same resources those from better-off places do.
There are several policies that will go a long way in helping to relieve this burden that aret not in any way "racist". First, prevent employers from checking for nonviolent, nonsexual felonies. This gives people who have committed crime and been a part of the cycle a chance to fix their life after they committed a crime and have served their time. A sentence should only be a life sentence if you are sentenced to life, and your life after serving your time shouldn't be destroyed as well.
Second, schools should be funded statewide or nationally, proportionate to the student population size and the amount of money needed to maintain and modernize facilities.
Third, public works resources should be distributed evenly and efforts need to be made to connect areas with public services and transportation.
Other policies exist, but this is a good start point

What do you mean by that?
I ask because I think I find myself in that weird left-nazi or right-socialist corner, too.
It's like, after WWII, there's been a weird leftist doublethink on the idea of nationalism.
All nationalism in 'white' countries is made equivalent to hitler, whereas nationalism is cool when it's third-world and anti-colonialist.
- They have never budged from this position, even when the gap between first and third world has narrowed a great deal, and many 'white' countries are falling apart.

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar and also this is an original comment I hope.

Greentext is 10 years ago, black text is today
>Pro-choice
Overpopulation is a very real problem and the west could benefit from a painless deflation via birth control methods.
>Anti-2nd
Living among criminals has opened my eyes to the consequences of leaving seniors and solitary citizens defenseless. No 60-year old man is going to win a fist fight with a couple of thugs trying to rape his family and steal his valuables. On top of that, there is an invisisble figure of crime prevented by the deterrent uncertainty of whether a homeowner carries.
>Pro-SNAP
Still pro-snap but feel it should be altered to prohibit unhealthy or overpriced foods like Doritos and lobster
>Anti-war
Still anti-war because we haven't been in a justifiable one in decades. Everything Gaddafi warned would happen in Europe after he's gone has already come to pass and that whole region becomes more fundamentalist and volatile every time we intervene.
>Pro-women's rights
Realized women already have all the rights men have and are now just fighting for legislative privileges to combat men's imaginary privileges.
>Pro-immigration
In America, yes. Even if the "melting pot" concept was fabricated in an early 20th century play, we have the luxury of an ideal pool of adjacent nations to gather immigrants from. Europe's model can't survive with their immigrants who refuse to assimilate... They will be picked clean and abandoned.
>100% inheritance tax
This was my jealousy talking. People have every right to invest in the success of their next generation after a life of hard work.
>Anti-affirmative action
I'm now in favor of affirmative action, but not in its current form. Instead of stilting performance evaluations of minorities, applications should disguise the applicant's identity. Hide name, birthplace, ethnicity, and switch to mandatory online applications.
cont'd
Ten years ago I was an apolitical nine year-old.

>>27074564
Overpopulation is not a problem in the west. It's only a problem in places like China and India.
>In America, yes. Even if the "melting pot" concept was fabricated in an early 20th century play, we have the luxury of an ideal pool of adjacent nations to gather immigrants from.

Hispanic immigrants won't assimilate either. They've turned huge swaths of America into Mexico 2, so they have no need to Anglicize.
And they're not as violent as Muslims, but they still have horrible effects on our society with the amount of crime they commit and welfare they take. Plus they send a lot of their money straight back to Mexico, which strengthens their economy at our expense.
>>27074603
Thanks kid, come back when you're done with puberty and can legally drink.
I used to be a conservative
Then I found out the gays and weed were cool and there is no Abrahamic God
Now I'm a Deist and somewhat Libertarian, however I do believe in public funded education done by for profit schools who compete yearly based on results for the contracts up through college as well as public infrastructure because both of those strengthen the economy in the long run. No handouts, euthanize retards.

Overpopulation isn't a problem anywhere, on a global scale at least. Of course there are cities where traffic is bad and shit, but on a global scale overpopulation isn't a real thing.
Waste and over-consumption of resources is the real problem.

>Pro-alimony and female custody
Seeing the consequences of the entirety of western civilization being raised by women who neglect and misguide boys, then spoil and refuse to discipline girls has made me realize that a family with no father is no family at all. Men grow up watching their father get divorced because he wasn't fun enough for their mother, then the mother trashes his character, then she enters a relationship with someone more "fun" who will probably beat you while she does nothing, and in the end she'll tell you that being good will bring you happiness and female companionship. Women have too much power to strip innocent men of their finances and parental rights.
>Huge environmentalist
Still a huge environmentalist. Politics don't mean a thing if the Gulf of Mexico is so acidic it can't support marine life. Coral reefs and wetlands are irrefutably vanishing and no head-in-the-sand neocon bullshit will make that less true. Polar ice caps are melting, global sea levels are rising, permafrost is melting, habitat is being cut down to make paper towels, entire regions are morphing into desert, temperatures are rising year-to-date, groundwater is being polluted, freshhwater is becoming scarce... I could go on but I don't want to hit character limit again. The problem isn't industrialization, though it enabled the real problem. It's overpopulation. We dodged the Malthusian ceiling, and now billions of people are demanding more and more luxuries on a per capita basis than our planet can sustain. We're already feeling the consequences of mineral shortages, so instead of 500 million people living decent lives, we'll have 7 billion people savagely binge on our planet until civilization, and maybe humanity, is a thing of the past.
>Social security retirement
A huge ponzi scheme that becomes harder both to escape and perpetuate with every generation. The only way it CAN be sustained is by erasing entire races by drawing in new, uneducated workers.

Imagine 500 million people consuming these goods compared to 7 billion, or 5 billion if you're not counting backwards shitholes who create a different footprint with unchecked pollution.

>Medicine, food, clean water, oils

It's mutually dependant on standard of living and education. Surplus is the key to specialization. We have the technology for surplus already. Our agraculture is far beyond what it used to be therefore we would still not need for anything an have surplus of goods still.
If you think there are not a superfluous ammount of shitheads just existing and fucking then you are definiately one of them.

>>27075152
That's the point. The scary thing is the arguments are used by people in reality.
>>27075131
Please think about it for a second.
The entire world's infrastructure is based on producing goods for 7+ billion people. That's what industrial technology is all about and has been for a century now, mass production. When there isn't enough demand, companies bleed profits and shut down their factories because there's no point in keeping a car factory open all year long with a full staff of IT workers and engineers and janitors and everyone else just to produce like eight cars.
The global economy would just majestically implode into itself like a neutron star.
>>27073314
1. Communism
2. Elitism (as long as you have enough power, money, or status pleb politics don't apply to you)
>>27075112
You could, but the era of corporations would be over. The only incentive for a corporation to exist is for more of the population to commit to their product. This would result in localized economies who enjoy the fruits of 270 years of infrastructural technology advances not available before monopolies became commonplace.
>>27075199

So we keep toyota and let every other factory shut down.

It's going to hurt, but it will hurt a lot more when world population hits 9.6 billion at the end of this century and everyone starts to wonder where all the potassium and nickel went.
The choices are thus:
>Industrial expansion that will collapse within the century and leave almost 10 billion people, as a whole, unequipped to harness enough energy to live better than Haitians.
>A down-scaled global coalition of modestly large nation-states with the technological progress to access any needed goods across the globe. A new model of responsibility over individuality would be necessary and a large portion of public education would revolve around instilling a sense of duty and urgency without the need for profit while developing aptitudes to benefit society rather than make an uncertain living.
It wouldn't be terribly convenient but it's better than the alternative.

I'm not talking about the end of globalization. Government transportation projects become more ambitious every year, and even in the United States, proposed mono-rails and high-efficiency overseas shipping will make reliance on private transportation less common. The only obstacle to global connectivity in a reasonably-populated world is conveying goods from one continent to another, and those projects to allow globalization in such a world are coming together nicely.

Diogenes
>It was in Corinth that a meeting between Alexander the Great and Diogenes is supposed to have taken place. The accounts of Plutarch and Diogenes Laertius recount that they exchanged only a few words: while Diogenes was relaxing in the sunlight in the morning, Alexander, thrilled to meet the famous philosopher, asked if there was any favour he might do for him. Diogenes replied, "Yes, stand out of my sunlight". Alexander then declared, "If I were not Alexander, then I should wish to be Diogenes." In another account of the conversation, Alexander found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave."

I am not white by any means (mixed) but I believe that races should be sperate from one another and shouldn't be force to mingle or bread with one another (that's how mistakes like me are made when I can't get a gf from any of my half race identiies). The white race in particular is in danger of going extinct and I am willing to do everything in my part to keep the whites pure from the leftist attempts to breed out the idea race as a whole. Identity is what pulls any society together. Mulatto fucks like myself can't identify with any race and it feels so fucking awful. I kind of wish race mixing would be outlawed someday.
also /r9k/ is full of self hating whites. What a way to throw your pure genetics down the drain you mongoloid failed normal fags.

Hatred for liberal retards and right wing fucks all the same, both are as bad as the side they claim to hate. We live in a weird fucking society where brand loyalty has bled into everything, people always have to take a side and justify their stance no matter what and it's retarded. Barely anyone these days takes a step back and logically looks at both sides. I don't even really fit into a political ideology at this point. If anything i'd probably be a right wing populist that isn't anti-elite but that's not even an ideology. I truly believe in being safe with the budget but I also believe our governments goal should be looking out for its citizens and not foreigners. I also believe as long as you aren't hurting someone then who gives a fuck.
>>27073890
You're right. The black experience is different because the average IQ of black people is 15 points lower than the average IQ of whites and people from Asia.
And yes this gap remains exactly the same even when you compare the IQs of white children adopted as babies by affluent white parents with black children adopted as babies by affluent white parents.

Libertarianism, voluntaryism, free market capitalism, leaning towards anarchism (not the liberal meme anarchism) and minarchism. I can't stand the left or right anymore, they're just a bunch of unruly kids throwing shit at each other for no good reason. I think liberals are worse though because, in my opinion, their entire platform is hypocritical, they're arguing the same stance as the conservatives, but just for a different group of people. In the end both sides are essentially arguing for even more statism and/or fascism.

They really hate jews tho.
I believed in that crap because I admired my parents so much when I was a kid. Now I'm grown up, I can understand the spooky nonsense my mother says. She's totally brainwashed.
None, political system is broken. It always was and will always be. I would like to see it burn in my lifetime.
Socialism/Communism
Now I still hold these views but I'm not dumb enough to believe them and the left is utter shit now, I'd revive Che or Tito just to shoot their asses or throw them in a prison. I guess you could say centre-left for internal, and centre-right for external politics.

Uhm asians in Usa have a higher standard of living. Lower crime rites etc than white people. But yeah white people are the worst
Also Niggers ruin everything.
Ten years ago I thought (and still do think) that Bush was a fucking embarassment. I couldnt believe he got re-elected, and he ruined the country. I thought I would never become conservative because there was so much shit wrong with America that conservatives were either ignoring or causing.
Now I'm conservative, largely because SJWs have kicked me out with all their cis-scum bullshit and censorship of the arts.
I used to be the whole nine: Earth is literally going to explode if I drive anything other than a Prius; big government is best, especially when they use tax dollars on welfare and other socialist programs without any reform; war is always bad and it was our fault that everybody hates us, fuck the veterans they kill Muslims. I did a quick 180, now I am socially ultraconservative: no sexual decadence, no disrespect of one's nation, body, mind, etc., no degeneracy. On an economic scale, I am not ashamed to say that I am not very well educated in the matter (in that I haven't really taken any courses of analyzed history as much as I should've), but I do realize a good deal that is too good to be true when I see it. Generally, I'd like to think that a benevolent dictatorship or some kind of spinoff republic of some sorts would be the best form of leadership. I think that all economic platforms have the potential to work, but some have obvious shortcomings in many regards that render them useless. I'd say I'm more so towards a purged capitalism (not "fuck the rich for being rich", but don't let them walk all over you). I'd summarize my economic stance by saying that Reagan's limited spending and Thatcher's 'tough love' behaviours are ideal, but can't work, like many things I've stated, mostly due to many social factors that have occurred these past few decades.

How do you envision wealth redistribution to occur? You have to tread very lightly, because one misstep and you'll have a Bolshevist revolution. Do you believe in "redistribution" in the sense that the neighbourhoods aid in the help of their fellow sisters and brothers, or knocking on the doors at gunpoint asking for money. It is a bit of an oxymoron, but it did work for the NSDAP. I'll have to respectfully disagree with your redistribution part if you go about it in a Communist manner; maybe some insight would help?

Yes, but you have to remember that nationalism is strongly opposed by the gloablist elite, and they will likely try to take their money and flee to another country

Furthermore, the economy needs to be restructured around the community, not the other way around
>>27082018
The last line is interesting, but I'm not sure I like what you're saying, if you're alluding to requiring the wealthy to stay and pull up those who are less fortunate or face death. I'm not an advocate for unregulated capitalism or unadulterated socialism, but I think that either side has their shortcomings (not to sound too much like a centrist le superior man), although I have a bias towards socialist beliefs because I believe that they accelerate very quickly, whereas capitalism has the same potential to be "bad", but can be curbed (such "curbing" could also lead to socialism, so we're right back where we started). I do respect Hitler as a leader because of this socially conservative behaviours (for the most part, I've heard rumours about his stance on abortion being pro-choice and other things, but that may just be lost in Yiddish translation), and he made his version of socialism work, but I don't think the word socialism can really refer to the NSDAP's economic policies; it was some offshoot hybrid, perhaps best explained on a multiple-dimension political diagram.

Agreed, so long as you don't adopt South Park syndrome: "Only us, the TRUE fence sitters, have all the answers, making us morally and intellectually superior to anybody who questions us!" Ideally, picking a side would be the endgame; centrism seems to be akin to being undecided and sticking with it, but to each his own.

There's a serious discontinuity between politics and the attitudes actually held by general public. Politicians will cater to as many simultaneous groups as they can, if their PR persons don't think it will *cost* them any votes - i.e. because the general public might not even give a shit about those issues when they're brought up. You're assuming they're catering to a much wider audience with this.
And it's not like Shillary will actually go out of her way to institute half the things she claims to be in favor of. Just a few years ago she was outspokenly opposed to same-sex marriage. Now that it's the "in" thing, she pays lip service to it.
