Proto-Mattism

Proto-Mattism is an economically center and culturally centrist ideology formerly practiced by Polcompball User Matteel around the years of 2016 - 2019 during his politically illiterate years.

Culture
The closeted thing he had to cultural beliefs was that pleasure was inherently good. Mostly because he had (and still has) no self control. Outside of that, he didn't like political correctness because he liked making really edgy and racist jokes with his friends. So, he wasn't necessarily culturally right, because he disagrees with many of the ideas social conservatism espouses. In this regard, he was pretty individualistic. He was still skeptical of the T part of the LGBT community, but held no real hatred for the rest of the LGBT community, and thought that they could have marriage and adoption rights and even liked jerking off to lesbians, but we really don't talk about that. He believed in absolute freedom of speech and opposition towards political correctness, opposition towards feminism but still supporting abortion and seeing nothing morally wrong with it, complete decriminalization of all drugs, and the legalization of things like porn and prostitution. He is pretty much an atheist by this point, and held anti-clerical stances regarding religious authority and didn't want it to influence his life, although he didn't actually care about religious beliefs themselves, he supported separation of church and state.

Economy
He didn't care about economics. But he thought that welfare was necessary for a country. That was mostly because some of his influence from his dad. However, he rejected radical economics that was outside of the center of the political compass due to this, like socialism or free-market capitalism. His economic views would slowly shift left to reflect the views of the people he watched, so he began to support things like universalized healthcare and other left-wing policies.

Civics
He opposed how the government was increasing its spying programs for the sake of "security", and also thought that democracy was the least worst system. So, he could have been best described as a liberal in terms of civics, being an individualist who didn't like being told what to do.

Foreign Policy
Didn't care, nor did he have a good grasp of geopolitics. But, he did like the concept of a federal europe under one superstate. But, that was just imagination more than anything politically related. He was also opposed to war and the government intervening in other countries just for the sake of promoting our interests. So, he was a pacifist in terms of foreign policy. He however, didn't like globalism due to him having watched some populist standpoints. However, he did believe in international co-operate for things like environmental issues and such. His view of countries like China and other authoritarian states were very negative due to his stances on authority.

Neutral

 * - Why is my future self so political? Other than that, too progressive, but I guess you're fine.
 * [[File:Prog.png]] Mh:polcompball:Progressvisim -Traditional values are lame and only get in the way of individuality, but why are you so into this preachy woke nonsense? I would have more agreement with you if your followers weren't PC idpol obsessed morons.
 * [[File:Conserv.png]] Mh:polcompball:Conservatism -I don't care about traditional values, but I also strongly dislike the left in its current state.
 * [[File:Gay.png]] LGBTism - I have no issue with LGBT individuals themselves, they can live their life for how they see fit and have marriage rights. But this whole intersectional idpol stuff is nonsense, and trans people aren't real.
 * [[File:Altl.png]] - You're good on issues like political correctness and all, but I am more doubtful of this "anti-degeneracy" stuff even though a lot of your followers are definitely not traditionalists looking at their search history ,
 * [[File:Mansphere.png]] - Why I dislike feminism too, what's up with all this "pill" stuff and hating women?
 * [[File:Civlibert.png]] - Freedom of speech and all this other stuff is based, but you get too progressive in other areas for my liking.
 * [[File:Socdem.png]] - Depends, some of your followers are cool, some are stereotypical SJW's. Shoe0nHead is cool.
