Say “aye” or yes" if you are in favour defederation.
Say “nay” or “no” if you are against defederation.
Only users who have a sh.itjust.works account can vote. Fresh accounts won’t be counted.
You used “we”. Who is “we”? The rest of the discussion implies that “we” means “we Hexbear users”.
So here’s a better question: how can a White, cisgender, cissexual hererosexual man politically to the right of Bernie Sanders disagree with you without being a bigot or a fascist?
You say that like Bernard is the ne plus ultra of genuine progressivism.
Also did you mean to say heterosexual or did I finally encounter a “LGBTT” type in the wild?
Idk should look into that a bit more.
Which views do you hold that are to the right of a center left liberal?
Well, here are a few that are controversial with the extreme left:
-
Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are good things. While I can’t ask the state to let itself be overthrown by ignoring ideological/religious/personality-cult calls to revolt, I don’t want a narrowly defined state ideology used as a tool of court politics like Iran or the USSR.
-
When collective rights conflict with individual rights, I’m mostly in favor of individual rights. If a local group pops up that takes a married woman’s property and gives it to her husband, bans divorce, and lets husbands beat their wives, I want my government to use laws mandating equality against them instead of give them communal autonomy. I don’t care what color their skin is or what language they speak.
-
There is no good reason to believe that true communism will ever work for a group bigger than 10,000 people. I’m being generous because I’m not certain it has worked for 3,000. Also, true communism will be very hard to sustain in a commune that reproduces itself by birth to current members if the children have anywhere else to go. Communes that reproduce by attracting new members instead of by birth to current members, a.k.a. monasteries, can sustain communism indefinitely. (Buddhist monasteries have had very large populations, but it’s rarely clear at a glance whether the monastery feeds the monks or if they have to work for their own food.)
-
The more a group trumpets “diversity” and “tolerance”, the less tolerance they have for diversity of thought and view. They’re overjoyed to recruit any color or shape of body so long as the mind inside toes the party line.
-
Anarchy (actual lack of a state) is the best friend patriarchy could want. A band of brothers makes a powerful coalition to rob and kill others, or on the flipside to protect their blood relatives. That puts a lot of power into the hands of grandfathers who have a posse of grandsons to fight for the family and can refuse to defend you if you don’t obey.
-
Communist rule has been excellent for education, basic health care, and redistributing the wealth present when the Communists were elected. But it’s been poor for increasing wealth.
