2x2Masterism

2x2Masterism is the ideology and self insert of the user. The ideology is generally conservative, economically centre-right to right-wing, civically liberal to libertarian, and extremely based.

Governmental Views
2x2Master supports and believes in small government, however he wouldn't consider himself a full-on minarchist. The main purpose of the government is to protect the citizens, operate a few simple & useful services, collaborate with other nations as well as keep itself running.
 * -| Small Government =

2x2Master supports democracy & voting, implemented both nationally and worldwide. No corruption, rigged elections, ballot stuffing or the like should bee allowed take place.
 * -| Government System =

One of the main priorities of 2x2Masterism is "upgrading" democracy and giving the populace a larger voice in government decision making. The end goal of this idea is establishing semi-direct democracy in Australia on a federal level. Referendums should be held regularly on all levels, including the federal, state and local levels. These referendums will mostly be centred around particular issues, especially cultural ones such as drugs or abortion. Issues relating to things such as economics or diplomacy should be decided by elected representatives. 2x2Master does not support compulsory voting, since it gives less freedom to the voter, and it increases the possibility of a major-party system.

2x2Master does not support an Australian republic. Instead, he supports constitutional monarchy as a cultural tradition and a way to strengthen relations with the UK.

2x2Master promotes and supports a parliamentary system over a presidential system for many reasons, such as governemnt accountability, stability, the existence of coalition governments and most importantly, the system of proportional representation (which helps prevent anything like  from happening). He also supports the system due to it integrating better into a constitutional monarchist system.


 * -| Decentralization and Federalism =

2x2Master sees many benefits in decentralization, and he sees federalism as the superior system compared to unitarism. There are many reasons for this, including:
 * [[File:DvAnarchy.png]] Decentralization of Power - Federalism is a very easy way to decentralize the power of governments. Since 2x2Master is a strong supporter of decentralization, having a federal system is something that must be done in his own eyes.
 * [[File:Local.png]] Focus on Local Issues - A very obvious advantage of federalism is allowing focus on local issues such as infrastructure, etc.
 * [[File:Nation.png]] Preventing Separation - Most separatist movements (succession from another nation, not from any sort of group/alliance) come from unitary countries, yet there are barely any separatist movements in federal countries in comparison. Why this is the case is pretty obvious.

2x2Master would consider himself a free speech absolutist. Everyone should be able to say whatever without any fear of legal consequences. Under the law, all opinions should be treated equally, even if the opinions are literal dogshit. He also supports ostracism & boycotting as a method of combatting those kinds of ideas  rather than censorship/state punishment. He also believes that the largest social media companies should have to tolerate most political views, but they should not be required to tolerate calls for violence,  supremacist views or classic  cancelling.
 * -| Free Speech =

Economic Views
2x2Master follows the Chicago and  Austrian schools of economics, and considers his own ideas a fusion between the two schools. He also strongly believes in the subjective theory of value.
 * -| Basic Ideas =

2x2Master is a strong supporter of free markets, low regulation, economic competition and the like. He believes that the government's role in the economy should be strictly limited to preventing market failures, maintain competition and getting rid of monopolies.
 * -| Markets =

While 2x2Master is strongly against any sort of excessive taxation, he does believe that taxation is (sadly) necessary for governments to properly function. He disavows of income taxes, and believes that ideally they should be removed and replaced with other taxes. He believes that income taxes take away hard-earned wages, and reduce the incentive to work. However, he is fine with most other sorts of taxation, as long as it's not that high. 2x2Master strongly values the right to own property, whether that be land, private or personal property. He is mostly against the state seizing property, with exceptions being severe criminal circumstances. He also believes that individuals should be able to do almost anything with their own property. He thinks that individuals should be able to profit off their private property if they desire.
 * -| Taxation =
 * -| Property Ownership =

Legal/Policy Views
2x2Master supports the main ideas of the non-aggression principle. He believes that crimes without victims shouldn't be punishable (with a few exceptions, such as ownership of nuclear weaponry). He despises paternalism, as it limits freedom, puts more strain on the government and leads millions to jail for seemingly no reason (as seen in the War on Drugs). Instead, he prefers libertarian paternalism, which believes that measures that aren't restrictions (such as public safety campaigns and taxes on products) should be used to discourage harmful choices (such as drugs).
 * -| Basic Ideas =

2x2Master supports decriminalization of all drugs, and legalization of most drugs (including weed) to prevent many problems that stem from drug restrictions, and to give more freedom to individuals. However, drug use should still be viewed negatively, both by the state and the general public. He supports putting taxes on drugs to prevent their usage (while still allowing them to be used), and as a way to fund everything that taxation goes towards.
 * -| Drugs =

Once drugs are legalized, that entails the total collapse of black market drugs and cartels. As we all know, buying drugs from this kind of market is risky and dangerous. Once drugs are allowed on the white market, the need for a black market will fade away, and most sellers will follow the law from that point forward. Basic law & regulations can be easily implemented from then, which will lead to a much safer drug buying experience.

Additionally, 2x2Master is a supporter of medical cannabis, and he believes it may be the future of medicine. He is also fine with drugs being on the white market and drug farms/labs.

As a libertarian, 2x2Master supports gun ownership, and opposes strict gun control or total gun bans. He believes that Australian gun laws are unnecessarily strict, and that we should reverse most of the laws put in place.
 * -| Gun Ownership =

2x2Master bases his ideal gun laws off Switzerland's laws. While Switzerland has one of the highest amount of gun ownership in the world, yet it has an incredibly low amount of gun crime. 2x2Master supports a gun control system very similar to the Swiss one, but implemented in Australia.

He sees proper reasoning for owning a gun, whether that be self-defense, hunting, target practice, or just collection. Gun owners should be able to get their hands on military-grade weaponry such as rocket launchers and machine guns with proper licensing and some training. He believes that if a gun owner can be trusted with a pistol, they should also be trusted with more advanced weaponry. Almost all types of guns should be obtainable to the public somehow, with the obvious limit being WMDs and the like.

2x2Master supports the idea of needing a permit to buy guns, but not to own the guns themselves. Permits can be easily obtained with a clean criminal record and training of firearm safety. On the other hand, he does not support mandatory gun registry. He believes that gun ownership should be mildly restricted without a valid reason, which does include self-defense.

Additionally, 2x2Master opposes all "appearance laws" for firearms. He wants practically zero regulations on replica weaponry, and very little regulations on non-firearm weapons such as shanks knives.

 * -| Age Restrictions =

Cultural Views
When it comes to culture, 2x2Master would consider himself a social conservative (or a SocCon DEEZ NUTS! ). He believes that the national culture of Australia must be preserved. He usually opposes most new social changes in this day and age. He supports national holidays (including the unnecessarily controversial Australia Day, Christian holidays like Christmas, and holidays important to Australia's history such as ANZAC Day). While he believes that nationhood should be defined by citizenship, he also believes that an underlying culture should be one of the most important part of a nation, thus making him a civic-cultural nationalist. He sees that the Australian cultural identity and shared values are deteriorating as more cultures mix without any sort of integration (however he does believe some cultures do have the potential to mix with little consequence). He supports the idea of giving every culture nations for themselves, so that all the unique cultures of the world can stay preserved and continued by themselves. As well as that, he also opposes any cultural supremacy, and he believes should be equal from a global perspective.
 * -| Social Conservatism =
 * -| Civic-Cultural Nationalism =

He sees that nations with strong & preserved cultural identities are celebrated by their citizens and generate lots of income from tourism. Additionally, he opposes ethnic and racial nationalism in all forms.

 * -| User Relations =

[[File:S Left.png]] Absolute Gigachads! (S Tier) [[File:S Right.png]]

 * [[File:Neoafun.png]] - Politically, we agree almost everything, not to mention you are also a libertarian conservative. Also a pretty cool dude
 * [[File:SrDeyvidIcon.png]] - Absolute god-tier ideology, may as well be the closet self-insert to my own here, minus the non-interventionism. You could be a little nicer to protestants like myself tho.
 * [[File:SomeCrusade.png]] - I didn't really expect it, but this ideology has a lot in common with my own. To sum it up, it's very similar to my own ideas, but with a more religion-based approach. Nice!

[[File:A Left.png]] Based! (A Tier) [[File:A Right.png]]

 * [[File:Neohumicon.png]] - A chadbertarian with many incredible takes. Hell, you somehow managed to execute your progressivism better than a lot of conservatives can. MR BEAAAAAAASSTT
 * [[File:Chcknwngsbll.png]] - Even if your ideology was a bit better a year ago, you still to this day cannot convince me this guy is NOT based.
 * [[File:JoeyFloppa_boo.png]] - Many of your takes are too extreme, but I still see this as a great ideology.
 * [[File:NSL.png]] - Very funny guy. Completely spot on with the state and the economy, the only thing you need to do is C O N S E R V E
 * [[File:Beryism.gif]] - One of the most chill users and yet another based libertarian. You have many based ideas, especially with trade. But maybe you should think about starting to C O N S E-
 * [[File:NeophibunV2.png]] - Me but radical and a hoppean. I remember the times when we used to talk, I really miss you.

[[File:B Left.png]] Pretty Good! (B Tier) [[File:B Right.png]]

 * [[File:Omega1065.png]] - Arch nemesis turned one of my closest and oldest allies. Ideologically, too progressive and left-leaning for myself, but definitely one of the most tolerable liberal self inserts. Best part about your political views is the diplomacy, pretty much perfection. Also, thanks for getting me into PCB discord and being such a cool guy.
 * [[File:16384ism.png]] - He definitely is on the right track with his views on modern social justice, but I don't think completely going against feminism is the best idea, because if done well, feminism does have the potential to be a good thing for both women and men. Your support for movements like the manosphere and the alt-right is also pretty concerning. However, your criticism for these types of movements are pretty valid and do address the flaws with modern social justice. As for everything else, it's pretty good but I don't have much to say about it.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] - Not quite perfect with economics and not a fan of the overly progressive ideas, but you love some good 'ol FREEDOM just like me.

[[File:C Left.png]] Eh, alright. (C Tier) [[File:C Right.png]]

 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] - Your typical socdem, but definitely far from the worst I've seen.
 * [[File:Syntridem3.png]] - Possibly my oldest ally and the person who got me really into PCB stuff as a whole. Your opposition to intervention and anti-capitalism is not my thing at all, but when it comes to culture, me and you have very similar views. I'll still miss when were on PCB, but I hope everything is going better right now. It's still nice to talk to you every once in a while BTW.
 * [[File:Brazlib.png]] - Pretty much the modern US state liberal democrat... but in Brazil. I'm not a fan minority quotas, free abortion and banning "assault rifles", to say the least. Good foreign policy though, and you remind me of my views from a few years back sometimes.
 * [[File:AryanMonarchBow.png]] - Most of this isn't great (especially the white supremacy), aside from the obvious libertarianism and capitalism. Also, this ideology really fucking strange.
 * [[File:BERNHEism.png]] - Kinda great economics, pretty good culturally, but disgusting views on the state. Your stance on eugenics is nothing short of based however, and he's a cool person to talk to.

[[File:D Left.png]] Not that good... (D Tier) [[File:D Right.png]]

 * [[File:DoesntExist.png]] - Personally, extremely funny and great to talk to. Ideologically, a very cringe socialist, isolationist and authoritarian. At least you reject the worst part of the socialist left: the overly progressive identity politics.
 * [[File:Borker_thought_pixels_4.png]] - Great guy, but you're a left-wing anarchist. Definitely one of the better ones I've seen though, because you actually care about preserving culture unlike [[File:NeoLukko.png]].
 * [[File:NNGM.png]] - Pretty cool guy and the owner of a server I'm really active on, but sometimes weirds me out especially with the aryan femboy stuff . Obviously most parts about your ideology are cringe from my perspective, and the love of god, cool it down with the ethnopluralism.
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Obviously not a fan of socialism nor ultra-globalism, but he's a funny person who made a comic about me one time.
 * [[File:Jefsynd.png]] - Another socialist, but you do seem pretty cool personally.
 * [[File:Juhxx.png]] - Incredible artist and nice person... but communism? Really? At least you don't seem as authoritarian as many other communists on this site Why did you call me a cwingelord, it huwt my feewings...

[[File:F Left.png]] Cringe! (F Tier) [[File:F Right.png]]

 * [[File:Brainrust.png]] - Stay in school, kids. If you don't, you might end up with a rusted brain like this guy.
 * [[File:HelloThere314Icon.png]] - Clearly you've put a lot of thought into this philosophy, but wouldn't this just lead to pure unending chaos? Also, praxis >>> theory
 * [[File:Aldath03.png]] - Moderate for a literal nazi, but still a terrible ideology that appears to have nothing redeeming it.
 * [[File:Guard-Occo.png]] - An overly authoritarian socdem who seems to have a slight opposite of my ideology.
 * [[File:MLL.png]] - Terrible ideology that is practically my opposite, but but we do get on well, so that's cool. However, it's pretty damn cringe how you hate most people I like, and prefer gronks like Kretk/Hank Schrader instead.
 * [[File:Neokira2.png]] - This has to be a joke to piss me off, right? No? Okay, well, check your mailbox then.
 * [[File:Pixil-frame-0(38).png]] - Your ideology is extremely cringe. Gives me "I'm 11 and I just watched Jreg for the first time" vibes. This ideology is just an extremely edgy fascist ideology. We do get on kinda well though so that's that.
 * [[File:NeoLukko.png]] - Typical post-leftist ancom shit, but your support for xenogenders and gender abolishment makes your ideology 10 times worse. You seem pretty alright as a person although I crush you in any debates or arguments, and it's fun to troll you for your beliefs on gender
 * [[File:Nastyism_Icon.png]] - He's kinda cool personally, but damn your ideology is cringe as fuck

[[File:Z Left.png]] Absolutely terrible! (Z Tier) [[File:Z Right.png]]

 * [[File:CENSORED.png]] - Insufferable as fuck, not to mention you like children.
 * [[File:Mikolayism_Pixel_Modern.png]] - I have no comment on your ideology, I don't even understand what you are trying to say with it. But he's always very rude to me, and at this point it's just painful interacting with him. And to be honest, it's quite sad how things turned out, you seemed kinda cool. But I guess it is what it is. Also, you talk about killing yourself a lot, and it's quite disturbing.
 * [[File:Jeff1123.png]] and all his dumbass alts - REST IN PISS, YOU WON'T BE MISSED 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂💯💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
 * [[File:Hydra.png]] - How's your twitter account going for ya? [[File:Troll.png]]
 * [[File:SwordC.png]] - Shit content, trash ideology, and you ruined PCB!
 * [[File:Sbeve.png]] - May as well be the worst PCBer in history, especially since you doxxed my IP address. I cannot find a single thing redeeming about this guy. Not to mention reading your page made me loose braincells

[[File:A Left.png]] Based! (A Tier) [[File:A Right.png]]

 * [[File:Austrobert.png]] - Mostly good economics, however I'm not too sure if going full laissez-faire is the safest idea. I definitely need to do more research on the topic, however.
 * [[File:Paleolib.png]] - Many people mistake me for you, however I generally think this ideology takes everything way too far for myself, and most of the time you have dogshit foreign policy. Despite this, this ideology has quite a lot of similarities with mine.
 * [[File:Socliber.png]] - Love the libertarian ideology, but a full-on welfare state is excessive. Also, Andrew Yang is ultra-based
 * [[File:Geokitty.png]] - Doesn't make or break a deal for me, however I don't personally adhere to this. Though LVT does seem like a better alternative to income taxes. Let me just look into this a little bit more.

[[File:B Left.png]] Pretty Good! (B Tier) [[File:B Right.png]]

 * [[File:Bhl.png]] - Libertarianism is good in my book, and you have some good foundations, but overall it's too progressive. Also, most followers of this are, dare I say it, woke.
 * [[File:FDF-Pirate.png]] - Copyright law needs a lot of reforms, but going against intellectual property... really?
 * [[File:Korwinism-Pikselart.png]] - Nice job with small government & capitalism, and being culturally right is nice (even if you take it too far), but you definitely have a few screws loose. Also, you are nothing short of hilarious. Yooo, another conbert who likes femboys? Such an epic gaming moment.
