=={{Bold|Beliefs}}==
==={{Bold|[[File:DefDem.png]] Government [[File:Republicanismpix.png]]}}===
===[[File:Leerder-Cap.png]] Overview [[File:Occo.png]]===
I am a General Center-Leftist, mostly aligned with [[File:Agsoc.png]] {{PCB|Agrarian Socialism}} and [[File:Marketsoc.png]] {{PCB|Market Socialism}}. Smaller influences on my ideology are [[File:Lokalpatriot.png]] {{PCB|Localism|Local Patriotism}}, [[File:Cultnat.png]] Frisian {{PCB|Cultural Nationalism}}, [[File:Progconf.png]] {{PCB|Progressive Conservatism}}, [[File:Reactcross.png]] {{PCB|Reactionaryism}}, and [[File:Cosmic.png]] {{PCB|Cosmicism}}. I am opposed to any form of Dogmatism and Campism, as well as Black-and-White worldviews, and I do not believe that people can be inherently good or evil. My ideology is flexible, since I do not want to sacrifice my values for being ideologically consistent, and I take influence from many different ideologies, while also questioning everything so I do not fall into an echo-chamber.


==={{Bold|[[File:CultUniNat.png]] Nation and Diplomacy [[File:Anti-Globalism.png]]}}===
===[[File:Demsocstar.png]] Government [[File:AgrKaut.png]]===
I am an East Frisian [[Separatism|Separatist]] with Pan-Frisian sympathies and a [[Universal Nationalism|Universal Nationalist]]. I believe a small nation-state is overall beneficial, as it is easier to rule and more likely to be culturally homogenous without the need for any particularly cruel measures. I can not be described as an Ethnonationalist, at least not the deportationist or assimilationist kind.
The State should be governed by a combination of [[File:Guildsoc.png]] {{PCB|Guild Socialism|The Workers Guilds}} on the economic side and a Non-Partisan Legislative body for state policy. The Workers Guilds should organize the economy, while still not making it so that it is completely planned, while the legislature should provide things like peoples‘ police, Emergency Services, Foreign and Domestic policy, etcetera. The Legislature would be made up of representatives of the localities of the Land, like it was in the peasants republic of the Frisian Sealands, and the representatives would be decided upon on a local level, by the people in their municipality. The State should be highly decentralized, so as to allow for most decisions to be made, and services to be provided, on a purely local level. The Legislature and the Guilds should only handle the necessary services that hold a country together, like [[File:Regulated_Guilds.png]] {{PCB|Regulationism|Economic Regulations}}, some essential foreign relations and the military and secret services<ref>I see secret services as a necessary evil. It would obviously be better if we did not need to spy on people, but especially in the time of the internet, counter-terrorism needs to have its tools at the ready.</ref>.<br>
====[[File:Culnat.png]] National Identity====
I would also propose a Defensive Democracy, in which the legislature would pass laws which prohibit Anti-Democratic Strongmen from tearing the whole system down. This would also be made easier by supporting groups such as [[File:Antifa.png]] {{PCB|Anti-Fascism|ANTIFA}}, who already try to fight strongman populism and stochastic terrorism where they pop up.
The independent East Frisian Nation should have a [[Cultural Nationalism|national cultural identity]], that holds the state together and prevents parallel societies from forming, which are often breeding grounds for crime and extremism. This would be achieved not by closing the borders and trying to become [[Ethnonationalism|ethnically homogenous]], but by forcing migrants to learn the official language (High or Low German, whichever one it will be), attend courses on proper behaviour in the Frisian society, and punishing them for trying to split off from the society, for example not cooperating with the school system when it comes to sending children to school. It would, of course, not be part of state practice to erase foreign culture, just to get foreigners to integrate into the national culture by force. The basis of society might be a Frisian culture, but subcultures that form are to be treated with dignity.


====[[File:Fed.png]] Inner Structure====
===[[File:Local-Markets-Soc.png]] Economy [[File:Regulated_Guilds.png]]===
The East Frisian state should not be centralized, but be a somewhat loose federation of individual cities and townships. While the overarching government should still provide most of the actual laws, individual districts would still be able to make decisions of their own, and should strive to be as self-sufficient as possible. As farming is a big part of Frisian economy, it would likely be the most important task of the districts to regulate the farming sector.
First: Capitalism is a blight and should be abolished. It accelerates climate change and gives an unfair amount of power to unelected lobbyists and industrialists, not to mention that it makes everyone under it a pawn in an exploitative game against the poor. Capitalism enables the exploitation of any and all workers, allowing the owning class to basically steal the surplus value that workers create from them. In a conventional company, the Capitalists have complete control, and are immune from the consequences of their actions. If they mismanage something, and the company loses money, they are never the ones whose money is taken away. No, the low-rank employees, the workers, they are the ones being punished for what managers and company boards decided. After a possible revolution, or through intense reforms (in government and out of it), I would propose the installation of a highly decentralized, localist market socialist economy. Farms and businesses should be seized and their means of production redistributed to the workers, but the government should not directly control the economy. Instead, it should be regulated and controlled by workers' guilds, institutions that cooperate with the government, but are made up of the workers of different small businesses. I am also in favor of {{PCB|Democratic Socialism|Workplace Democracy}} for specific workplaces that have to contain a power structure for whatever reason.<br>
====[[File:ModIsol.png]] Diplomacy====
Second: I am a {{PCB|Left-Wing Nationalism|Left-Nationalist}}. This means I oppose {{PCB|Neoliberalism|economic globalization}}, because it is the biggest contributor to climate change and exploitation. Everything that can be manufactured or harvested in the homeland, must be harvested, manufactured and consumed in that homeland.<br>
While I am still very much opposed to Globalist ideologies, especially [[Neoliberalism]], I am also not a full isolationist anymore. Militarily, I am in favor of staying neutral in most cases, only intervening through humanitarian aid and supply shipments in extreme cases, for example of genocide or imperialism, like, again, Russia has a history of doing. What I am explicitly NOT in favor of is intervention in a country for ideological reasons, like [[Neoconservatism|„Spreading freedom and democracy“]]. Economic cooperation is a tad less nefarious in most cases, but can still be a real danger when it leads to particular countries being oppressed for their resources or exorbitant CO2 Emissions from transport vehicles (see section „environment“). Trade relations between countries should be scaled back and carefully observed to prevent economic imperialism, and if something can be made in a country, that country shouldn't buy it from other countries, but should be Autark in that aspect. A close cooperation with other micronations, separatist nations and Third-World nations in need of aid would be favored over integration of East Frisia into the Neoliberal status quo of capitalist exchange without care for the human experience.
Third: Local Markets must be strenghthened. This is the most reactionary part of my ideology. A farmer should not have his potatoes shipped off to Egypt, but directly distributed to his own community through local markets, which would strengthen community bonds and reduce emissions from tranport. We know this system "works", because it has been in place for aeons before globalization was even possible. Obviously, some products can not be grown or manufactured locally, and those products have made society way better. But my system obviously wouldn't be universal. A country that can not, by using its own goods, manufacture life-saving medicine, should be able to import the materials for that medicine from other countries, so that the people don't die needlessly. So, I would be pro-worldwide distribution of resources, just not in this system and not nearly as much as we do now.


====[[File:Anti-Americanism.png]] Anti-Bipolarism and Anti-Americanism====
===[[File:TheDoc.png]] Welfare [[File:Community.png]]===
The Bipolar World that was established after the second World War has been an unmitigated disaster for the whole world. During the Cold War, the United States of America and the Soviet Union (almost always in tandem with China) played a high-stakes game of allegiances and wars, with nations like Vietnam, Korea, Germany, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, and many others suffering the consequences of splitting, wars, war crimes inflicted on the population, zero tolerance for ideological disagreements and general repression. While the Soviet Union eventually collapsed, the US never adjusted their role as the alleged Defenders of Freedom, Democracy and Capitalism, as the „World Police“.
I am a staunch welfarist. While I recognize that financial stability is very important in the long run, it is equally important not to leave the helpless and vulnerable in the mud just to get ahead.<br>
The modern United States is in the worst state it has ever been in, and thanks to it‘s massive sphere of influence, this is a problem for the entire world. The political system of the US is completely broken. Instead of the two major parties working together, like they did a few decades ago, the modern Democratic and Republican Party are locked in a constant and unrelenting rivalry. On the one end are the Democrats, smug liberals who have no real ideological agenda besides the brewing culture war, who are almost completely steered by their rich donors, who are corrupt to the bone and who run illegitimate campaigns to kneecap any left-wing movement right away, all while positioning themselves as the „leftist“ alternative. On the other side are the Republicans, a party that is currently in a state of utter disarray. I stead of having a uniform party line that all politicians follow, they have only a few very broad descriptors that all Republican politicians share, „conservative“ being the most important. Other than that, they are a party that exists to give Right-Wing populists, Authoritarian strongmen, „Libertarian“ Shills with no real conviction other than making money, Fundamentalist Christian Nationalists, Conspiracy Theorists and Slimy Opportunists a platform. The parties are locked in the culture war, completely unable to effectively govern without the other side crying foul, mostly about supposed fascism. All this leaves the countries‘ problems, like the constantly escalating domestic terrorism of the Alt-Right, the potential start of a new Cold War, the Ukraine crisis, the Trade conflict with China and the consequences of the COVID pandemic, nearly impossible to solve.
Firstly, while working must obviously still be rewarded with more money, the people who are not able to work should still be able to live a good life. A good way to achieve this would be a [[Universal Basic Incomeism|Universal Basic Income]], a certain amount that everyone, no matter if employed or not, would be guaranteed. This would simultaneously eliminate many peoples concerns about poverty and create an easy frame for workplaces to set their wages.<br>
And all this wouldn‘t be such a complete disaster for me as a German, if it wasn‘t for two factors: First, the bipolar world still exists. Vladimir Putin, the Dictator of Russia, seems determined to reconstruct what was lost when the Societ Union fell. Wether „The West“ likes it or not, he will continue with his goals of ending democracy and establishing a New Russian Empire. With this and Xi Jinpings attempts to make China into the supreme trade power of the world, the bipolar world still exists, and the US is unfortunately the biggest counterweight to those two superpowers.
I also want a significant boost to efforts of integration of neurodivergent, disabled and similarly disadvantaged people. Since I myself am [[File:Occtism.png]] neurodivergent, this should not be surprising. It would be great if we could create a framework where any workplace is ready to accommodate for anyone who might not have the same capacities as other workers, or has special needs that need to be met.<br>
Second: The US, as the center of the „Free World“, exports its own products, culture, politics and conflicts to all their vassal states, sorry, „Allies“. This means that, when the US‘s political system fails, it has a huge effect on all of its Allies as well. And that, as much as I hate the Neoliberal Status Quo, is a scenario I can only pray never comes to pass.
Our public sector needs funding, all parts of it. No healthcare office, no post office, no care facility, no hospital, no library, no theater, no museum should be ignored. Especially institutions that preserve history and identity are more important than they first may seem.


==={{Bold|[[File:Ecosoc.png]] Economy [[File:Regulated Guilds.png]]}}===
===[[File:Radenv.png]] Environment [[File:Tucn-EcoAuth.png]]===
Basically, I am an Eco-Socialist. Though that will be covered in the „Environment“ section of the article, so we will first focus on everything else. I am also a Red Communitarian and Economic Reactionary, believing that the economy would work best if it could go back to a simpler time, when markets existed primarily in local communities instead of being internally connected all over the world.
====[[File:Agsoc.png]] Farming====
My economic policy will have to primarily focus on Agrarian Socialism. The farmers today are mostly big corporations that treat the animals they hold extremely badly, and that successfully have [[Kleptocracy|„convinced“]] the government to turn a blind eye. The corporate structures, not the farmers themselves, should be attacked by the government. Land needs to be redistributed into smaller, communitarian farms ran by a few people, while big corporations in the farming sector should be gradually disowned and eventually completely flushed out of Frisia.


====[[File:Guildsoc.png]] Other Industries====
===[[File:Cultnat.png]] Nation [[File:Confed.png]]===
Industries that do not lie in the Agrarian sector should consist of Worker's Guilds. While some industries should be in the hands of the state, because they are too important to be left to any kind of market, most industries should be organized in worker-owned and operated Guilds that are left independent from the government. If a fully egalitarian structure within the guilds ends up not working properly, I would propose a system where there is still a small corporate structure, but the people at the top are directly dependent on the worker's support, for example through workplace democracy.<br>
In my ideal world, Germany should be a confederacy again. The federal government should be relatively small, it should only provide the basic laws of the nation and act as a unified in case of emergency. Basically like the EU, but a bit stronger. Most policies, I believe, should be carried out on a local state level, with the well-being of the local communities as the first concern of any state official. Government services, cooperation with interest groups, bureaucracy, specific economic policy, and even some diplomacy should be in the hand of more localized governments, with East Frisia as my focus, since I am a proud Frisian.<ref>This vision is even more of a pipe dream than everything else in this article. You do not need to take it too seriously. My inner Frisian Free Lands nostalgic is just acting up again.</ref><br>
While the Guilds would not be connected directly to the government, they would be regulated by it. More on that topic in the "Environment" section.
I would still refer to myself as a Frisian Nationalist and separatist, firstly since my particular kind of nationalism is more concerned with the Frisian people and their lands than with the actual country I technically live in, and secondly because Frisian autonomy is a comparatively more reachable and more immediately desirable goal than a return of the HRE.
With that said, let me move on to my favourite talking point: National Cultural Identity. Yes, I am a Cultural Nationalist. I believe that a National Cultural Identity, a Shared collection of cultural views and traditions, should form the backbone of a nations society. Since the multicultural principle of different and separate cultural groups in the same society often leads to parallel societies, isolated cultural outgroups with little connection to wider society, which are a breeding ground for crime, especially when they are neglected by the government. Immigrants should still be welcome in East Frisia, as long as we can physically provide for them without sacrificing the well-being of our own citizens, but they should not form a Split-off parallel society hostile to the dominant one. This could be encouraged by the government with good and well-thought out welfare benefits for struggling immigrant families as well as an effort to guide them into becoming fully functional members of Frisian society and at least being willing to accept its culture. If migrants prove to be completely unwilling or unable to conform to Frisian Culture, they need to be dealt with effectively, and if necessary, they need to be expelled from the country before they become a liability.<br>
Plus, Culture is just nice to have, and it strengthens the community.


====[[File:Authwelf.png]] Welfare====
===[[File:CultUniNat.png]] Diplomacy [[File:ModIsol.png]]===
I am in favor of strong welfare programs, like {{PCBA|Universal Basic Incomeism|UBI}}. Though I will freely admit that I am not an expert on those matters, so this would be something someone else has to work on. What I do know is that this welfare system has to still incentivize people to work, and, more importantly, to integrate. We can not have a system that actively rewards non-integration with welfare if we want a country without parallel societies.
I despise Hegemony, and hold the view that autonomy is a nations highest right. I believe in the concept of the right to self-determination of all peoples, and I would want it to be applied to every people with an identity of their own (for example: Kurds, Basques, Frisians). I am also not willing to brutally invade other nations with little legitimization to impose my arbitrary beliefs on them, as {{PCB|Neoconservatism|the US}} and {{PCB|Authoritarian Conservatism|Russia}} like to do. Of course, I want my nation to intervene in wars, for example by shipping supplies to the better side, since I do not want to passively support Imperialist great powers. But all in all, I am mostly for Non-Alignedism.<br>
====[[File:Left_Reformism.png]] Implementation====
I am also not a fan of the overly idealistic and liberal-ideological foreign policy that much of the West has adopted over time. The biggest offenders by far have to be the [[File:Schröder.png]] Schröder and [[File:Merkelism.png]] Merkel administrations, who somehow believed (or claimed to believe anyway) that by buying the gas of Putin’s pet company Gazprom they could democratize Russia, which has predictably led to Germany being caught off-guard by the Invasion of Ukraine. Now, the people who need gas to survive are rightfully angry, and the new government (with Merkels former finance minister in charge) is struggling to handle this crisis as well as all the other crises that have cropped up. While I am not supporting Machiavellian Powerplays to achieve German supremacy, I am very much in favor of a more realistic and pragmatic approach to foreign policy. Sometimes, it is better to immediately make hard choices than to endlessly kick the can down the road, especially if that road leads to catastrophe.
I favor Gradual Change and Reform over Violent, quick revolution, not only because I dislike violence, but also because a quick violent change in power is a huge gamble. If your ideals are too unrealistic (which they likely are), and you implement them radically, swiftly and without compromise, you could plunge your country into a period of terror, like the Jacobins or the Soviets, or even complete Chaos. Therefore I favor Gradual reform, where ideals can be tested in reality and mass violence isn't necessary.


==={{Bold|[[File:Radenv.png]] Environment [[File:Ecosoc.png]]}}===
===[[File:SocialProgressive.png]] Social Policy [[File:Antilib.png]]===
The Environment is the only thing I am truly radical about, and is also one of very few things I want the whole world to cooperate on.
====[[File:Tucn-EcoAuth.png]] Regulation====
The Economy and individuals must be made to abide by harsh Environmental Regulations. For the Economy, this would entail mostly high taxes and bans on certain products and methods of transportation, as well as partially discouraging import of products that can be made at home, like most vegetables and fruits. The individual would not be hit as harshly, as I believe that giving individuals in the lower income groups the responsibility to solve systemic issues is stupid and just a ploy by by capitalists to avoid doing their part. Still, some luxuries would have to be greatly scaled back, above all ''cars''. The state should invest in more bike-friendly and human-centric infrastructure, especially in the cities, and strong train/bus networks, which would eventually phase out the need for cars. While these cars might stay legal, some other items of more extreme luxury would be banned, an example being Cruise Ships (Yes, those are being built in Frisia) and Private jets. Generally, if anything is not deeply intertwined with the system itself and not able to reform into being Eco-Friendly, it needs to be discouraged, if not banned.


====[[File:Ecoglob.png]] Global Cooperation====
===[[File:Cultreact.png]] Culture [[File:Antisjw.png]]===
Apart from trying to export the before mentioned policies into the whole world, there should also be a much more substantive version of the Paris Climate Accords <s>(The Emden Accords?)</s> that actually enforces something instead of just disapproving of Eco-unfriendly behaviour with absolutely no consequence. Also, the Neoliberal Status Quo would really need to be abolished for this to work, which would only work through Global Cooperation, ideally in the Spirit of Universal Nationalism. This also feeds into my Anti-Americanism, as their absolutely asinine system of government, political structure and insane levels of international entanglement makes it really hard for any reasonable environmental protections to get passed.
As explained in the „Nation“ paragraph, I believe in the concept of a unifying National Cultural Identity. This Cultural Identity would be one of traditional Frisian culture. The Frisian and Low German languages are a part of it, as is a strong communitarian bond, some typical regional food and drinks like cabbage, beans or tea, and a general quiet rural atmosphere.<br>
I am heavily opposed to cultural Artifism, Futurism and Foreign Cultural Hegemony, specifically that of the USA. Their art, their sayings, their culture have been exported to the entire world, oftentimes threatening to change local cultures not through conquest, but through gradual Americanization. This all must be opposed if we are to preserve our own cultural heritage.


====[[File:Econat.png]] Eco-Nationalism====
===[[File:Secular.png]] Religious Policy [[File:CapAnti Clerical.png]]===
The Environment is to be deeply engraved in the Frisian National Identity. Our forests and especially our swamps should be a big part of patriotic pride of a frisian person, and going on walks in nature could be seen as the healthy and fulfilling activity it is. This would all do wonders for at least the local environment.
I am generally in favor of Religious freedom and tolerance, as long as religions stay out of government. The separation of church and state is extremely important.<br>
All people should be free to practice whatever religion they believe in. I can understand how it may be hard for someone to accept that other people believe in different religious concepts than themself, but that does not make religious supremacy or terror against other religious groups okay. In fact, if there exists a religious community that is based on preaching hate, like, unfortunately, many already do, the state should have the authority to investigate them. We can not accept Cult-like behavior  or zealous bigotry to grow in our society and form the dreaded parallel society.<br>
Personally, I was raised by a Catholic mother and a Protestant (but very irreligious) father, I was baptized in the Catholic Church, I am mostly Atheist and I philosophically align most with [[File:PastaTheo.png]] Pastafarism and [[File:Crafttheo.png]] Lovecraftianism. I also like the Old Cultural implications of [[File:Anpag.png]] original Paganism. But none of those tendencies should be mandated for anyone but me. I am perfectly comfortable with the personal religious identity being completely separate from the National Cultural Identity.


====[[File:Radenv.png]] Insurrectionary Action====
===[[File:Absurd.png]] Religious Philosophy [[File:Crafttheo.png]]===
As long as there are no people getting hurt, I support insurrectionary action to enforce environmentalist causes.
If there is a god, and they are all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving, it logically follows that we must live in the world that god considers perfect. This means that any argument about the state of things which involves the notion of „gods will“ must be obsolete, since god must always will every situation exactly as it is. If this is not the case, surely god can not be all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving all at once, because if they were, and the situation were not as they desire, they would have changed that situation with their all-power before it even was perceived by us. Either this, or the gods that exist must do so on such a different level that their thoughts and plans are not even imaginable by the human mind. The Gods would be such alien and unknowable entities that even a second-long glance at their perceptions would drive any person mad. In this case, arguing about the will of the gods is even more pointless, since the will of the gods can not even be understood, let alone acted on, by us.


==={{Bold|[[File:ProgCultStandards.png]] Society [[File:Anti-Alt-Lite.png]]}}===
===[[File:ProgCosmic.png]] Philosophy [[File:MoralRelativism.png]]===
I am socially mostly an average progressive, though with [[File:ProgCultStandards.png]] [[Progressive Conservatism|Strong Cultural Standards]]. Basically, I see no contradiction between socially progressive ideals and preservation of Frisian culture.
I am existentially Nihilist. I do not really believe that anything possesses any inherent values, virtues, morals or purpose. I believe in a strictly scientific and evolutionary interpretation of the world. However, this does not mean I believe values, virtues, morals and purpose are somehow „stupid“ concepts, and I do not think being a Nihilist must imply dismissing anything and everything as not important. Morals are made up, but that doesn’t mean we should not follow them. If Society has decided that stealing is wrong, that means, for all intents and purposes, that stealing is wrong in society. Just because we made something up, that does not mean that that thing is completely worthless. We made up money, and it still obviously has a worth.<br>
====[[File:Gay.png]] LGBT====
I also do not believe in the concept of inherent evil. When a person does something, no matter how vile that thing may be, they always have a reason for it, and that reason is never „because I am evil!“. It may be an extremely petty, non-proportionate or unsympathetic motivation, but there always is one. Most criminals do not see themselves as evil, they either see themselves as desperate people who need to commit crimes to survive, or they believe that what they are doing is not actually a crime or even immoral. Everyone has reasons, everyone is complicated. Learn empathy, and you will come far.
It‘s pretty simple: LGBT individuals deserve all the same rights as heterosexuals do. As I see it, Adoption rights are not an issue since government child services do already review if a foster family is able to care for the foster child, and there is no inherent need for a child to have a mother and a father. Gay Marriage should ideally be fully equal to straight marriage, and discrimination against people based on their sexual preference should be covered with discrimination laws. Hate speech would be discouraged, but not banned, as hate speech laws are notoriously finicky. Though hate speech in major media outlets would be discouraged way more than hate speech by individuals. These hate speech laws should apply to everything in the „Society“ section, not just LGBT issues. Polyamory would also be permitted, but Poly relationships would be under supervision, as there is potential to disguise a human trafficking operation by declaring it to be polyamory.
====Gender====
Transgender people are valid. Studies consistently show the exact opposite of what Anti-Trans figures like Matt Walsh claim to be the truth. Allowing transition leads to less suicide, a majority of trans people do not experience regret over a transition, and that number would only grow as Trans-ness becomes a normal, rarely discussed thing.<br>
I am in favor of allowing changes of legal gender without much effort, as what is your legal gender can not have huge negative impacts on anything, but actually getting gender-affirming surgery should remain a longer process. It should not be allowed for minors, they should instead be given puberty blockers so they can medically transition once they are old enough, and there should be a review period for everyone who wants to transition, but otherwise there should be no effort to stop people from living how they want to live.<br>
Misgendering should remain non-punishable. It would only be of relevance when used in a campaign of harassment, combined with other, more serious offenses.
====[[File:Fem.png]] Sexism [[File:Menslib.png]]====
Simple: Women and Men should have the same opportunities. I am not in favor of quotas or so called „inclusive language“, especially Gendersprache, as I believe they are a complete waste of time and effort in the dreaded culture war. Quotas stand in the way of an effective, meritocratic system. Instead, we should simply strive to make society as a whole more equal, thus indirectly showing young girls that they can be anything they want. Gendersprache and other such things are almost completely useless, petty distractions and weapons of a [[File:Radfem.png]] [[Radical Feminism|loud minority in the feminist movement]] that disguises their personal misandrist hatred as „Feminism“.
====Abortion====
Abortion should be legal. There are two reasons for this, one is based on personal beliefs, the other on pragmatism.<br>
Personally, I believe that a human embryo/fetus does not have any inherent value, as I don‘t really have a spiritual value system. A human embryo/fetus is less developed, less aware and less intelligent than a chicken, and most Pro-Lifers are very much opposed to Veganism, despite Chickens and other farm animals being treated absolutely horrifically. The only inherent value a human embryo/fetus has that is not shared by a chicken is its potential to develop into a normal human, who is, in fact, more intelligent and aware than a chicken. But mourning for loss of potential, in this case, is an endeavor so stupid that I do not even feel the need to explain why it is stupid.<br>
Now, the pragmatic approach. If abortions are outlawed, that will not necessarily result in less abortions, just less legal abortions. So, the embryos/fetuses will still die, but now the mothers have to seek help on a black market, where there are no legally enforceable security standards. If you outlaw abortion, all you do is fill up the courts and prisons, and drive people onto a black market where they could be seriously harmed by an unsafe illegal abortion, instead of actually lowering the number of abortions.


====[[File:Culnat.png]] Ethnicity, Culture and "Race"====
===[[File:Strato-Antifurry.png]] Military and Civil Service [[File:Welf.png]]===
I don't believe in Race as a unifier. White people from Italy are so different from White people from Norway, and Black People from Somalia are so different to Black people from Namibia, that it is not helpful to categorize people in this way except when it comes to protecting people from racism.<br>
While Frisia is located far in the European Union, so is very unlikely to be dragged into a war, I still believe the military is necessary, not only for national defense, but also to give people work. I am in favor of mandatory military/civil service, to give young people a perspective after they leave school. The civil service should be an equal option to military service, since I believe both to be equally as necessary. Military spending is important, but should not have priority over any other type of government spending, as it does in the US. Welfare, meanwhile, should get as much support from the government as possible, guaranteeing a good life for the sick and disabled, no matter their wealth or standing.
Other than that, I have already said that I am a Cultural Conservative and Nationalist. So as long as a foreigner, no matter their ethnicity or '''especially''' no matter their skin colour, can integrate into the National Culture, they have every right to be a citizen. I am therefore in favor of legal immigration to my country, as long as it is equipped to handle it, and as long as the immigrants can either assimilate into or interact with the Culture, as I said. This assimilation/interaction often happens automatically over generations, but not only are there major exceptions to this rule, but I think it is too dangerous to accept an older generation of culturally isolated foreigners, under the pretense that „their children might be better than them, some day.“<br>
Oh, and by the way: the immigrants are not taking your jobs away. Your jobs are being stolen from you by a system of capitalism that considers the well-being of workers to be less important than the money that some millionaire has on his offshore bank account.


====[[File:Secular.png]] Religion====
===[[File:PolState.png]] Justice System [[File:Krit.png]]===
Leerderism is a Secular, highly syncretic ideology with some Laicist ideals. I believe there should be no state religion, instead there should exist an agreement in society that all religions are valid and should be preserved, be they pagan, Abrahamic, Eastern, modern imaginings or even satirical. This, however, does not protect those religions from the consequences of their own actions. If the Catholic Church can not fix its problems, the state will not come to the rescue and help them anyway, but they would be expected to adapt on their own. Churches should not be treated any differently than other organizations by the state.
I am opposed to the death penalty and police militarization, and I like the Nordic prison system. I completely believe in a rehabilitative justice system, and believe punitive justice to be mostly unnecessary.<br>

I would also propose reworking the police force into a people's police of sorts, since the modern police is mostly being used by capital to reinforce their power, however if the people seize the mean of production and capital is overthrown, that would not be a problem anymore.
The Culture War is a completely useless and extremely annoying conflict. It started because of the USA‘s disastrous political system, and it works as a tool for Russia and other Anti-Western powers to erode democracy, freedom and compassion everywhere. It unfortunately got imported to Europe because of our ties to the US, and it is to be completely eradicated. The problem is: A war is not a thing one can stop easily. The sides won‘t just give up their posts as soon as a third party says „Stop That“. So this culture war has to be stopped, not by one extreme action, but by a long and arduous process of education, rationality and reasoned debate.

My Philosophy is really simple. I believe that practically nothing is universal. There is no meaning of life, there is no ultimate answer, there are no universal values, and there are no strings of fate. Humanity is completely free of supernatural influence.<br>
Despite being a Nihilist, I still believe in things such as honor, and I do in fact have a personal honor code. It is mostly based on simple Utilitarianism, and a quasi-spiritual sense of obligation to the dead. For this reason, I am, for example, opposed to celebrating the death of people, even if they are very unpleasant and my enemies.<br>
The closest match for my philosophy would be Optimistic Nihilism.

"People can really believe anything these days!" - Ismism

This page is meant to represent Dr. Occo's political views. Please do not make any major edits without their permission.


Leerderism is the current ideology of polcompball contributor Dr. Occo. It unites a strong interest in old Frisian culture and political structure with the more Socialist, Progressive and Statist leanings of its creator, seeking to establish a reformed, but recognizable Frisian Identity within an independent East Frisian State and a socialist economy. It is essentially a less authoritarian, more esoteric form of National Fracturism.

The Five core principles of Leerderism

  • Preservation of Culture
  • Preservation of the Environment
  • The Strengthening of Communities of land and people
  • The Universal improvement of living conditions and the pursuit of happiness
  • Equality of all people

Beliefs

File:Leerder-Cap.png Overview

I am a General Center-Leftist, mostly aligned with Agrarian Socialism and Market Socialism. Smaller influences on my ideology are Local Patriotism, Frisian Cultural Nationalism, Progressive Conservatism, Reactionaryism, and Cosmicism. I am opposed to any form of Dogmatism and Campism, as well as Black-and-White worldviews, and I do not believe that people can be inherently good or evil. My ideology is flexible, since I do not want to sacrifice my values for being ideologically consistent, and I take influence from many different ideologies, while also questioning everything so I do not fall into an echo-chamber.

Government

The State should be governed by a combination of The Workers Guilds on the economic side and a Non-Partisan Legislative body for state policy. The Workers Guilds should organize the economy, while still not making it so that it is completely planned, while the legislature should provide things like peoples‘ police, Emergency Services, Foreign and Domestic policy, etcetera. The Legislature would be made up of representatives of the localities of the Land, like it was in the peasants republic of the Frisian Sealands, and the representatives would be decided upon on a local level, by the people in their municipality. The State should be highly decentralized, so as to allow for most decisions to be made, and services to be provided, on a purely local level. The Legislature and the Guilds should only handle the necessary services that hold a country together, like Economic Regulations, some essential foreign relations and the military and secret services[1].
I would also propose a Defensive Democracy, in which the legislature would pass laws which prohibit Anti-Democratic Strongmen from tearing the whole system down. This would also be made easier by supporting groups such as ANTIFA, who already try to fight strongman populism and stochastic terrorism where they pop up.

Economy

First: Capitalism is a blight and should be abolished. It accelerates climate change and gives an unfair amount of power to unelected lobbyists and industrialists, not to mention that it makes everyone under it a pawn in an exploitative game against the poor. Capitalism enables the exploitation of any and all workers, allowing the owning class to basically steal the surplus value that workers create from them. In a conventional company, the Capitalists have complete control, and are immune from the consequences of their actions. If they mismanage something, and the company loses money, they are never the ones whose money is taken away. No, the low-rank employees, the workers, they are the ones being punished for what managers and company boards decided. After a possible revolution, or through intense reforms (in government and out of it), I would propose the installation of a highly decentralized, localist market socialist economy. Farms and businesses should be seized and their means of production redistributed to the workers, but the government should not directly control the economy. Instead, it should be regulated and controlled by workers' guilds, institutions that cooperate with the government, but are made up of the workers of different small businesses. I am also in favor of Workplace Democracy for specific workplaces that have to contain a power structure for whatever reason.
Second: I am a Left-Nationalist. This means I oppose economic globalization, because it is the biggest contributor to climate change and exploitation. Everything that can be manufactured or harvested in the homeland, must be harvested, manufactured and consumed in that homeland.
Third: Local Markets must be strenghthened. This is the most reactionary part of my ideology. A farmer should not have his potatoes shipped off to Egypt, but directly distributed to his own community through local markets, which would strengthen community bonds and reduce emissions from tranport. We know this system "works", because it has been in place for aeons before globalization was even possible. Obviously, some products can not be grown or manufactured locally, and those products have made society way better. But my system obviously wouldn't be universal. A country that can not, by using its own goods, manufacture life-saving medicine, should be able to import the materials for that medicine from other countries, so that the people don't die needlessly. So, I would be pro-worldwide distribution of resources, just not in this system and not nearly as much as we do now.

File:TheDoc.png Welfare

I am a staunch welfarist. While I recognize that financial stability is very important in the long run, it is equally important not to leave the helpless and vulnerable in the mud just to get ahead.
Firstly, while working must obviously still be rewarded with more money, the people who are not able to work should still be able to live a good life. A good way to achieve this would be a Universal Basic Income, a certain amount that everyone, no matter if employed or not, would be guaranteed. This would simultaneously eliminate many peoples concerns about poverty and create an easy frame for workplaces to set their wages.
I also want a significant boost to efforts of integration of neurodivergent, disabled and similarly disadvantaged people. Since I myself am neurodivergent, this should not be surprising. It would be great if we could create a framework where any workplace is ready to accommodate for anyone who might not have the same capacities as other workers, or has special needs that need to be met.
Our public sector needs funding, all parts of it. No healthcare office, no post office, no care facility, no hospital, no library, no theater, no museum should be ignored. Especially institutions that preserve history and identity are more important than they first may seem.

Environment

Nation

In my ideal world, Germany should be a confederacy again. The federal government should be relatively small, it should only provide the basic laws of the nation and act as a unified in case of emergency. Basically like the EU, but a bit stronger. Most policies, I believe, should be carried out on a local state level, with the well-being of the local communities as the first concern of any state official. Government services, cooperation with interest groups, bureaucracy, specific economic policy, and even some diplomacy should be in the hand of more localized governments, with East Frisia as my focus, since I am a proud Frisian.[2]
I would still refer to myself as a Frisian Nationalist and separatist, firstly since my particular kind of nationalism is more concerned with the Frisian people and their lands than with the actual country I technically live in, and secondly because Frisian autonomy is a comparatively more reachable and more immediately desirable goal than a return of the HRE. With that said, let me move on to my favourite talking point: National Cultural Identity. Yes, I am a Cultural Nationalist. I believe that a National Cultural Identity, a Shared collection of cultural views and traditions, should form the backbone of a nations society. Since the multicultural principle of different and separate cultural groups in the same society often leads to parallel societies, isolated cultural outgroups with little connection to wider society, which are a breeding ground for crime, especially when they are neglected by the government. Immigrants should still be welcome in East Frisia, as long as we can physically provide for them without sacrificing the well-being of our own citizens, but they should not form a Split-off parallel society hostile to the dominant one. This could be encouraged by the government with good and well-thought out welfare benefits for struggling immigrant families as well as an effort to guide them into becoming fully functional members of Frisian society and at least being willing to accept its culture. If migrants prove to be completely unwilling or unable to conform to Frisian Culture, they need to be dealt with effectively, and if necessary, they need to be expelled from the country before they become a liability.
Plus, Culture is just nice to have, and it strengthens the community.

Diplomacy

I despise Hegemony, and hold the view that autonomy is a nations highest right. I believe in the concept of the right to self-determination of all peoples, and I would want it to be applied to every people with an identity of their own (for example: Kurds, Basques, Frisians). I am also not willing to brutally invade other nations with little legitimization to impose my arbitrary beliefs on them, as the US and Russia like to do. Of course, I want my nation to intervene in wars, for example by shipping supplies to the better side, since I do not want to passively support Imperialist great powers. But all in all, I am mostly for Non-Alignedism.
I am also not a fan of the overly idealistic and liberal-ideological foreign policy that much of the West has adopted over time. The biggest offenders by far have to be the Schröder and Merkel administrations, who somehow believed (or claimed to believe anyway) that by buying the gas of Putin’s pet company Gazprom they could democratize Russia, which has predictably led to Germany being caught off-guard by the Invasion of Ukraine. Now, the people who need gas to survive are rightfully angry, and the new government (with Merkels former finance minister in charge) is struggling to handle this crisis as well as all the other crises that have cropped up. While I am not supporting Machiavellian Powerplays to achieve German supremacy, I am very much in favor of a more realistic and pragmatic approach to foreign policy. Sometimes, it is better to immediately make hard choices than to endlessly kick the can down the road, especially if that road leads to catastrophe.

Social Policy

Culture

As explained in the „Nation“ paragraph, I believe in the concept of a unifying National Cultural Identity. This Cultural Identity would be one of traditional Frisian culture. The Frisian and Low German languages are a part of it, as is a strong communitarian bond, some typical regional food and drinks like cabbage, beans or tea, and a general quiet rural atmosphere.
I am heavily opposed to cultural Artifism, Futurism and Foreign Cultural Hegemony, specifically that of the USA. Their art, their sayings, their culture have been exported to the entire world, oftentimes threatening to change local cultures not through conquest, but through gradual Americanization. This all must be opposed if we are to preserve our own cultural heritage.

Religious Policy

I am generally in favor of Religious freedom and tolerance, as long as religions stay out of government. The separation of church and state is extremely important.
All people should be free to practice whatever religion they believe in. I can understand how it may be hard for someone to accept that other people believe in different religious concepts than themself, but that does not make religious supremacy or terror against other religious groups okay. In fact, if there exists a religious community that is based on preaching hate, like, unfortunately, many already do, the state should have the authority to investigate them. We can not accept Cult-like behavior or zealous bigotry to grow in our society and form the dreaded parallel society.
Personally, I was raised by a Catholic mother and a Protestant (but very irreligious) father, I was baptized in the Catholic Church, I am mostly Atheist and I philosophically align most with Pastafarism and Lovecraftianism. I also like the Old Cultural implications of original Paganism. But none of those tendencies should be mandated for anyone but me. I am perfectly comfortable with the personal religious identity being completely separate from the National Cultural Identity.

Religious Philosophy

If there is a god, and they are all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving, it logically follows that we must live in the world that god considers perfect. This means that any argument about the state of things which involves the notion of „gods will“ must be obsolete, since god must always will every situation exactly as it is. If this is not the case, surely god can not be all-knowing, all-powerful and all-loving all at once, because if they were, and the situation were not as they desire, they would have changed that situation with their all-power before it even was perceived by us. Either this, or the gods that exist must do so on such a different level that their thoughts and plans are not even imaginable by the human mind. The Gods would be such alien and unknowable entities that even a second-long glance at their perceptions would drive any person mad. In this case, arguing about the will of the gods is even more pointless, since the will of the gods can not even be understood, let alone acted on, by us.

Philosophy

I am existentially Nihilist. I do not really believe that anything possesses any inherent values, virtues, morals or purpose. I believe in a strictly scientific and evolutionary interpretation of the world. However, this does not mean I believe values, virtues, morals and purpose are somehow „stupid“ concepts, and I do not think being a Nihilist must imply dismissing anything and everything as not important. Morals are made up, but that doesn’t mean we should not follow them. If Society has decided that stealing is wrong, that means, for all intents and purposes, that stealing is wrong in society. Just because we made something up, that does not mean that that thing is completely worthless. We made up money, and it still obviously has a worth.
I also do not believe in the concept of inherent evil. When a person does something, no matter how vile that thing may be, they always have a reason for it, and that reason is never „because I am evil!“. It may be an extremely petty, non-proportionate or unsympathetic motivation, but there always is one. Most criminals do not see themselves as evil, they either see themselves as desperate people who need to commit crimes to survive, or they believe that what they are doing is not actually a crime or even immoral. Everyone has reasons, everyone is complicated. Learn empathy, and you will come far.

Military and Civil Service

While Frisia is located far in the European Union, so is very unlikely to be dragged into a war, I still believe the military is necessary, not only for national defense, but also to give people work. I am in favor of mandatory military/civil service, to give young people a perspective after they leave school. The civil service should be an equal option to military service, since I believe both to be equally as necessary. Military spending is important, but should not have priority over any other type of government spending, as it does in the US. Welfare, meanwhile, should get as much support from the government as possible, guaranteeing a good life for the sick and disabled, no matter their wealth or standing.

Justice System

I am opposed to the death penalty and police militarization, and I like the Nordic prison system. I completely believe in a rehabilitative justice system, and believe punitive justice to be mostly unnecessary.
I would also propose reworking the police force into a people's police of sorts, since the modern police is mostly being used by capital to reinforce their power, however if the people seize the mean of production and capital is overthrown, that would not be a problem anymore.

CULTURE WAR!!!!

The whole Greater Frisia thing

As you may have noticed, I have sometimes in this article used the terms „Frisia“ and „East Frisia“ interchangeably, even though they are not the same thing. East Frisia is a smaller part of the greater region of Frisia, which also includes the Dutch Province Friesland and North Frisia. You might also notice that I put a note of sympathy for „Pan-Frisianism“ into my „Components“ section.
Now, my loyalty is to East Frisia, I see myself as an East Frisian and I want Autonomy for East Frisia, not necessarily Greater Frisia. But, if a real, relevant movement existed that had the reunification of Frisia as a stated goal, I would support this hypothetical movement. I would not go out of my way to drag people that are not interested in Unity into it, but I would always support a request for unity from them.
I also see myself as a Frisian in terms of Culture and Ethnicity, not an East Frisian, since that is not an ethnicity that even exists.

Relations

Heel wat besünners

  • Communitarianism - A politicians responsibility is first and foremost to the community.
  • Environmentalism - One of the core principles of my ideology. Nature is our friend!
  • Peasants' Republicanism - The German Peasant Uprisings failing was one of the most tragic events in history, in my humble opinion.
  • Eco-Socialism - We‘ve seen what Billionaires have done to our world, it is now time to fix that!
  • Eco-Nationalism - Two based things make one ultra-Based thing.

Mooi

  • Environmental Globalization - The only good kind of Globalization. Stopping something that could harm the whole world is a priority for the whole world.
  • Meritocracy - A very worthwhile way to determine who is fit to govern. Though I did not forget what the ancient Chinese Emperors did while this system was in place there, and I also maintain that the name „Meritocracy“ sounds ridiculous.
  • Technogaianism - Oh shit, It’s GAIA! Quick people, destroy all the robots! Otherwise the Faro plague will get us! So, this is pretty much as good as Transhumanism gets. My Autism still makes me a bit sceptical of big changes, so Transhumanism scares me, but I logically know it‘s a good thing, especially for the medical sector. And this is, as I said, the absolute best form of Transhumanism.
  • Agrarianism - The Great Tradition of my homeland, my people and even my family. Some Agrarians can be annoyingly conservative, and big rich farmers are bad for almost everything, but all in all this is based.
  • Agrarian Socialism - Land Reform! Land Reform! Land Reform! This is the best type of Agrarianism.
  • Progressive Conservatism - Based cultural compromise.
  • Liberal Socialism and Capitalist Communism - Based economic compromise.

Up Stee

  • Nationalism - Nationalist policy is important, the state is the nation after all, but this can quickly change into more sinister stuff.
  • Cultural Nationalism - Preserving National and local culture is important, as is preventing dangerous parallel cultures from forming. But suppressing other cultures is ultranationalist garbage, and this ideology sadly often leads to exactly that happening.
  • National Agrarianism - Nationalism? Quite Based! Agrarianism? An important part of Frisian Culture and Economy! Extremely xenophobic sentiments due to rural areas being generally more conservative? Uhm. Okay that should maybe be looked into.
  • Civic Nationalism - Definitely a better qualifier than race or ethnicity, but not as good of one as culture and language. I believe that citizenship is the only true requirement for nationality, but I also believe that Immigrants must be pressured to integrate, lest they form a subculture that breeds crime or radicalism, and you can‘t do that without a good signifier for true nationality.
  • Noocracy - It is broadly agreeable to say that the wisest people should rule. Though this ideology tends to focus too much on philosophy, and it is often used by Autocrats and Monarchists, so it‘s not a completely unproblematic proposal.
  • Civil Libertarianism - Do Civil Liberties include the Liberty to own a Private Jet? Or go on a Cruise Ship? Because that is a hard no from me.
  • Interculturalism - Cultures coexisting while interaction between them is encouraged, that's exactly my ideal. But the melting pot model is even worse than Multiculturalism. Since it originated in the US which did not have a native culture (that wasn't exterminated), it's not shocking that it leads to multiple cultures fusing together into one distinct new culture, and it's fine when applied to the US and other colonial nations, but in nations that have an indigenous culture, it is a catastrophic practice.
  • Hydrarchy - The Victual Brothers and Likedeelers did some epic trolling, and I love stories about when Pirates annoyed the British Empire, but of course they were still criminals, and often not very nice people at all.

Heel egal

  • Left-Wing Populism - Makes generally good points against the Right, but can be extremely hyperbolic. Also, this ideology is very broad, which often makes parties with it as their main ideology fall into leftist infighting, like we saw with Die Linke.
  • Agorism - Black Markets are an important method to counteract unfair corporate and government practices in times of crisis, but are of course still a type of illegal, highly capitalist system that must be counteracted when the economy of the country is doing well, as well as a breeding ground for more destructive crime, an example being murder to prevent the toppling of a well-functioning black market crime empire.
  • Reactionary Socialism - My exact economic system, but Monarchist and pro-serfdom. Considering this is also Anti-Enlightenment, I really doubt that the king will treat the workers very well. And of course this ideology is socially reactionary as well…
  • Eco-Conservatism - Quite based for a conservative. Kretschmann is a complete hypocrite, and most Conservatives are too corrupt to give a shit about the environment, but in general it would be good if this very logically consistent ideology would become more widespread.
  • Homoconservatism - Literally me fr fr The Anti-Trans hategroups that have this ideology are stupid and hateful, and I hate Alice Weidel, but the general idea of Queer-friendly conservatism is good.
  • Conservative Socialism - Conservative on the wrong aspects, and most Consocs are Orthodox Marxists. But I could myself be described as a conservative socialist, so… give or take, 5/10.

Har leper kunt

  • Marxism - Reading Marx in process, please stand by…
  • Revolutionary Progressivism - Overzealous culture destroyers who enthusiastically fight the culture war, but they are necessary as allies when the alternative are social conservatives and worse.
  • Green Liberalism - DiE gRüNeN!!!!!!11!1! No, but seriously, this is pretty terrible. I understand that Die Grünen are being hamstrung pretty terribly by their coalition partners in the FDP, but that still doesn‘t mean I have to be over the moon for those spineless liberals. And the worst thing? I have to be on their side because the alternative are corrupt, Planet destroying idiots!
  • Religious Nationalism - Not quite as bad as Ethnonationalism, but still pretty unbased. Religion is not part of the National Cultural Identity. It is, instead, an International Institution and a part of a person's personal identity that they should be able to live out however they want.
  • State Socialism - This doesn't have the best track record in history, to say it lightly. I prefer Guild Socialism and Classical Social Democracy. The State controlling the economy just lends itself too much to tyranny.
  • Multiculturalism - Yes, all cultures should coexist. But not in this way! Parallel Societies in the same country are a stupid and dangerous idea, instead we should respect the cultural integrity of every nation.
  • Industrialism - DAMN BIG BUSINESS POLLUTING THE PLANET AND DESTROYING LOCAL ECONOMIES! THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES! …Unfortunately, Industry is necessary for our society, and made the lives of many people better in the past.

Blixen

  • Kakistocracy - I hate idiots!
  • Liberalism and Third Way - „Why are so many Nationalist parties getting so much support? It‘s a mystery! I mean, all we‘re doing is constantly doing big business‘ bidding and bringing in cheap Labour from abroad to replace the upper/middle class, while running on issues of climate change (which this practice is heavily contributing to, making us seem hypocritical) and Minority Rights (which don‘t matter at all to the blue-collar workers who are being replaced and losing their income, while normally living in a conservative environment)! What we should do now is antagonize those workers, while changing absolutely nothing about our goals. All hail the mighty status quo!“
  • European Federalism - The current EU is enough. We do not need such Neo-Imperialist ideas for Europe.
  • Ultranationalism - Yes, I like my Nation. And so do others with their nations. That is precisely why nation supremacy is a harmful and frankly terrible ideology. Why can‘t you just accept that your nation is not so important that you have to kill for it?
  • Neoreactionaryism - The rightist counterpart of my ideology. I have some respect for it, but I really don‘t agree with anything except the vague notion of Economic Reactionaryism.
  • Liberal Feminism - Simply not the right answer. I don't think the endgoal of feminism should be to integrate women into the male-dominated system, effectively just feminizing the patriarchy, instead of building a system that has no patriarchy. Also, Hillary Clinton was weapons grade cringe and needs to be blamed for Trumps victory, Kathleen Kennedy defiled Star Wars, and JK Rowling is a genocide supporter.
  • Aristocracy - It had its time and place, and Aristocrats were often important to balance out the power a king held, but when the nobles got too much power in Frisia they turned it into just another Feudal State. The fact that I am named after one of those nobles does not make it better at all.
  • National Liberalism - How‘s Brexit working out for ya? Also, I think Nationalism and Liberalism are contradictory, seen how Liberalism is culturally left (so pro-immigration) and supports the free market.

De Düvel van Kaar offallen

  • Fascism - Fascism is a system that places all the power there is (power over the economy, power over the government itself, and power over ground morality) in the hand of the government, while usually requiring a belief in ingroups and outgroups and a "natural hierarchy" of people, where there are people who are "undesirable" simply for existing in a certain demographic. This means that Fascism does not simply enable genocide, genocide is almost a natural endpoint of fascism.
  • Nazism - May you suffer eternally in the darkness of the infinity, you wretched, vile, monstrous piece of garbage.
  • National Capitalism - „Nooooo I can‘t be a Nazi the Nazis were third position!“ About that.
  • Racial Nationalism - The Even more retarded version of Ethnonationalism. Builds on the worthless concept of „Race“ instead of Ethnicity, and is also the go-to ideology for murderers, terrorists and cultists.
  • Eugenicism - Gien en hau sien Kinner dood!
  • Imperialism - LEWER DUAD AS SKLAV! 1744 never forget!
  • World Federalism - NEVER! KILL IT WITH FIRE! Also, the amount of Red tape would be insane.
  • Neoliberalism - I think I have made my position on this quite clear.
  • Neoconservatism - „Howdy Pardner. We, the USA, have decided that your nation is too leftist to exist, and we have also decided that we are the ultimate authority on this world. Now we will bomb your country and install a Fascist Military Dictatorship in your country so we can easily extract your valuable resources through the Neoliberal World Market.“
  • State Liberalism - An extremely unfunny strawman of everyone who is not culturally conservative, made by the rightist side of the dreaded culture war. And for the real-life ideologies that come closest to this: They are imperialist, corrupt scum. No, it‘s not legitimate to bomb a country because the people there are bigoted.
  • Radical Feminism - Geez, no wonder nobody likes you. I recognize Patriarchal structures in Society, but The Patriarchy isn't a secretive club of evil men that sends Trans women to sexually assault """real""" women. You're just misandry with a mask. And some of your acolytes are straight-up genocidal. For more information, see this video.
  • Islamic Fascism, Jihadism and Islamic Theocracy - Looks like someone needs to be sent to reeducation.

Brilliant

Good

  • File:NNGM.png New North German Model - More extreme than me, but generally shares most of my ideas, now even more than when my ideology was National Fracturism. He was also the one who truly introduced me to the PCB community, so thanks for that. The only real problem I have with you is the Ethnonationalism, that one is a bit icky.
  • Neoteric Communization - While I can‘t really make much of your philosophy, first because I‘m not a philosophical guy and second because it‘s really weird, your politics seem mostly good. Regulatory and Explicitly Anti-Neoliberal economic policy is something that will always get me onto your side, and while I wouldn‘t go so far as to ban all pornography, your social policy is alright too.
  • Great British New Left - A mainline socialist, and Labour nostalgic. From what I can tell, you're pretty cool, the only thing that I don't like is it seems like you're opposed to nationalism and separatism. Though your article doesn't really have much actual political stance, just people you support, so I probably need to revise this relation in the future.

Alright

  • Meridionalism - Generally based ideology, Separatism are great, as is the segment „Why I believe in Socialism“ where you make clear that you do not strive for power, but simply want all people to be well and happy. Although I fear that the US South is one of the worst places for progressive socialist ideas, so your ideology would not be easy to implement in the real world. Then again, you are definitely not the one at fault there. Why are you so indifferent to slavery though?
  • Pantheonism - Almost all of our policies align, except for one, but that one is a dealbreaker. Yep, it‘s the World Federalism vs. Nationalism. We‘ll probably never change our respective positions on that issue, so I‘ll not belabor the point any more ( Would still prefer your system to the Neoliberal Status Quo though ).

Middling

Inadequate

  • Brazilian Liberalism - LiberalTM. As if the world needed more of those.
  • Rigby Thought - A conservative that is not a populist and xenophobic piece of shit? That is becoming rare these days, and I respect you for not going with the flow. LGBT Conservatism, Patcon and Ecocon are all based. The problem is, of course, that our economic policies do not align (I am fond of socialism, you are not), and while your hatred of communism is understandable, using Cold War methods in the modern day is not. You also seem to support authoritarian methods used by the military dictatorship, and that worries me. You‘re still better than your libtard countryman because your ideology is at least distinct.
  • Mordecaism - Look out people, le Socialism Understander has arrived! Delivering powerful and not at all overdone points like "If Socialism good, then why Venezuela?", "You claim to hate Capitalism, yet you live in a rich capitalist nation", "Rich People can't be legitimate socialists" and of course "Socialism is when the government does stuff". Your ideology isn't THAT bad, because you at least support Social Justice and some Welfare, but your argument against socialism is terrible. The only way it could be worse is if you just used a soy wojak.
  • National 16384ism - While you are quite nice to chat with online, and we share some beliefs, namely environmentalism and Nationalism, I have to heavily disagree with Religious influence in politics and all that comes from that, namely most of your cultural policy. Also, your strawman of the Cultural Left is quite infuriating to me.

Bad

  • TIIKKETMASTER Thought - I am Ticket Master, Tickets to the Pain Train! On a more serious note, I find your ideology to be pretty unbased. I don‘t like global revolution for many reasons, and poorly evidenced conspiracy theories are not legitimate grievances to have in my opinion. I obviously disagree with Neoluddism and Free Market Capitalism, and your critique of Progressivism is very weird. However your opinion that the Government should be environmentalist is good, as is your somewhat nuanced reactionary outlook.
  • Messardism - Nazi-Maoism? Really? And that bullshit of a „Male-Centered society“ is completely arbitrary nonsense and spits in the face of human diversity. At least you want a strong social state, but those views are a dime a dozen, and there are loads of people that have the same ideas without being Odalist weirdos.
  • National Wodenism - Benevolent Fascism is still Fascism.
  • Alstūdism - Benevolent Fascism 2: Norwegian Boogaloo.

Disastrous

  • Bunisoc - You deleted my art! Literally 1498!
  • Neo-Majapahitism - What this ideology is against: Democracy, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly, Freedom of the Press, Chinese People as a whole, etcetera. What this ideology is for: Absolutism, Monarchy, widespread Death Penalty, completely punitive justice system, extreme militarism, a Stasi-like Secret Police. Yeah, okay, Mister TotaLARPtarian.
  • MugiKotobuki8814ism - Fascist Weeb Coomer. Oh, how I despise people who need to clarify their Masturbation habits in their Self-Insert articles, and this one is the worst of all! Other than that your policies are just Wannabe Nazi Garbage.
  • Neo-Glencoeism - Capitalist Liberalism, Hawkism, Anti-Tinism, Liberal school of Progressivism, it is all extremely cringe. You‘re in the same category as a Coomer Nazi, and you 100% deserve it.
  • Tedcruzfan Thought - mfers be like „I love Jesus“ and then proceed to say the most Antialtruistic shit imaginable.
  • Neo-Erissianism - What. The. Fuck.

Brilliant

Good

  • Howard Phillips Lovecraft - Not read all his stories, but the ones I did read were top-tier creative and legitimately scary in places. Of course, Lovecraft is now widely known for his extreme racism, but the rest of his ideology was pretty cool. What he choose to do, he did great, and we also got a neat philosophy from him. Also, I feel that his racism had very little impact in the end. He was too English in his bigotry for the US, and he even disavowed his own beliefs at the end, at least partly.
  • Napolean Bonaparte - A great general, social reformer and the best option at his time, compared to the House of Bourbon and the Jacobins. Though it wasn't very cool that he invaded Frisian and Dutch Lands, he at least set up republican institutions there.

Alright

  • SPACE FROGS ( Rick Garrido and Steven Schuto) - Generally a good political position, and nice ideas like UBI and most Anti-Corruption efforts they support, but their content often suffers from them not going deep enough. Their videos are good, but none is over half an hour long due to YouTube being their full-time job, and that sometimes leads them to make half-baked points and endorse questionable positions.
  • Cody K. Johnston and the Some More News team - A better version of Renegade Cut in basically every aspect. The videos are more thought out, there are less lies, the show seems less extreme, and as far as I know they have not yet advocated for terrorism. But it's almost comical how incredibly idealistic these guys are. I mean come on, no governments and no borders? Yeah, I'm sure that'll work great and not just result in complete Chaos.

Middling

Inadequate

  • Theresa May - Watching her entire career crash and burn once she realized Brexit was more complicated than she thought is some of greatest Realsatire I have had the pleasure of experiencing. My condolences to the British though.
  • Olaf Scholz - Olol Scholol is a very boring man with seemingly no convictions, and I'm still in disbelief that the SPD couldn't find someone without a major corruption scandal to be their chancellor candidate. Hooray, now we have a chancellor that is likely corrupt and also passed legislation that killed a teenager!
  • Leon „Renegade Cut“ Thomas - Sometimes makes good points against the American Right and Liberals, and the entire American system. But also often has very bad takes, is seemingly unable to separate art from politics, and I am just generally not a fan of Anarchism.
  • Leon Trotsky - The better alternative to Stalin, and a brilliant strategist, but his ideology is revolting, in more ways than one.

Bad

  • HBomberguy - Smug Hack, who can not separate art from politics, is often overgeneralising, and makes bad points to further a political agenda that isn't even well defined.
  • Liz Truss - 1) Become Prime minister without the people voting for you, 2) Tank the economy even more, 3) Kill the Queen by being too cringe for her, 4) Resign and 5) Realize that you got dunked on by a lettuce
  • Kim Jong Un - A pretty horrible dictator, but at least keeps himself out of international politics, unlike Putin and Xi.

Disastrous

  • Vladimir Putin - Warmongering Imperialist. Worst person alive right now. Slava Ukraini!
  • Xi Jinping - Uighurs, Kazakhs, Hong Kong, Gay Rights, Social Credit, Influence on Western Markets because Corporations have no backbone, Neo-Imperialism, it's all terrible! Xi must leave, and China must be majorly reformed, or even better, broken up!
  • Hafez Al-Assad and Bashar Al-Assad - See people, THIS is the consequence of parallel cultures! When one of them gets to power without dismantling the structure itself, nothing good can come of it! (Allah Syria Bashar is a banger though)
  • Donald Trump - A giant baby that dreams of a world where he is a Totalitarian, free to lord over the United States of America. He used an absolutely broken system to get into power, and promptly mishandled the COVID crisis, indirectly killing thousands of people and permanently ruining the lives of many more. Not to mention that his border policy was completely ridiculous and cruel, that he incited a coup, and that he made the American system of government even worse than it was before, somehow. If he becomes president a second time, I will officially lose all faith in this stupid nation.
  • Elon Musk - When he said he was a "Free Speech Absolutist", you imagined this, but it was actually this. Besides, he's very stupid and way too rich. He thinks that he can reach a Utopian future by inventing the shiny surfave level stuff, instead of making life actually better for everyone.

  1. ↑ I see secret services as a necessary evil. It would obviously be better if we did not need to spy on people, but especially in the time of the internet, counter-terrorism needs to have its tools at the ready.
  2. ↑ This vision is even more of a pipe dream than everything else in this article. You do not need to take it too seriously. My inner Frisian Free Lands nostalgic is just acting up again.
