Yangism}} Technoliberalism, or TechLib is a centrist ideology leaning on the libertarian right quadrant. They believe in the ideals of liberty, self-awareness, individuality, decentralization and responsibility while developing technologies that is available to the general public and the five core interests of technoliberalism such as construction of government, environmentalism, economics, education and science and civil liberties.

History

In the book Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory Culture in the United States, Adam Fish describes technoliberalism as the belief that network technologies reduce the contradictions of a society that nurtures both the free market of economic liberalism and the social welfare of Social Liberalism.

At the heart of the philosophy of technoliberalism as a belief and movement is "a predominant belief in technology, a suspicion of traditional modernist institutions, and the belief that the cumulative consequences of individual involvement in technology will generate social benefits." The main beliefs of this ideology correspond to five main interests: Construction of the Government, education and science, economics, environment and civil liberties. They include:

• Protecting the freedom of individuals while preserving the freedom of others.
• Free markets with strict rules.
• Fair taxation, especially for big companies.
• Protecting planet by strictly regulating the damage to the environment.
• The power of small and medium businesses.
• Freedom of speech and communication technologies.
• Emphasis on technological advances, not on the status quo.

• Technogaianism and Green Liberalism - We need to protect our planet by any means necessary while developing technology and protecting our rights.
• Civil Libertarianism - Protecting the individual's freedom while respecting others, I like that!
• Regulationism - Fair regulation and fair taxation are necessary. (But not too much!)
• Social Capitalism & Ordo-Liberalism - Freiburg School is ultrabased.
• Eco-Capitalism - Wonderful! Just needs some more regulation and it'd be perfect.
• Scientocracy - We must listen to scientists at all times.
• Social Liberalism - Fellow liberal who supports fairly regulated capitalism. Great guy.

Frenemies

• Technocracy - I do like his sentiment of being intelligent, but why do you argue with me for supporting liberal ideas? Isn't it how this world should be run?
• Francoism - You like science and merit too, but you are too fashy.
• Austrolibertarianism - You do realize that the free market needs some regulation in order to function properly?

Enemies

• Anarcho-Primitivism - Civilization is important for the being. If there isn't any civilization, it will be chaos, allowing anyone to do what they desire. For the technological scale, it is too low, making life primitive and harder to live, as well as a shorter lifespan. These 2 characteristics of yours make life much harder as we know it.

• Democratic Socialism - You're not actually democratic, socialism just makes things not-so democratic. I hope you understand what I said.
• Conservative Socialism - You're even worse than the other two...
• Industrialism - Please follow my environmental regulations.
• Right-Wing Populism - Will you please quit spreading all this climate change denial rhetoric?
• Pol Potism - Absolutely disgusting.
• Fourth Theory - I am living proof that liberals are not "tards" you claim they are.
