Beryism

Beryism is the self-insert ideology of BeryAb. He is liberal to  libertarian,  democratic, economically  centre-right to right-wing,  culturally liberal,  pacifistic and  patriotic. He supports economic deregulation, free trade, tax cuts, cautious spending, civic nationalism, interculturalism, federalism, cultural tolerance and the promotion of a peaceful, non-interventionist foreign policy.

[[File:Fed.png]] Government structure
Beryism desires a democratic government structure, more so, a largely representative liberal democracy, but with tweaks to make the people have greater say in policy. Also known as semi-direct democracy, directly inspired by the  Swiss model. The system would, on one hand, be representative, as the more "objective" decisions, particularly those pertaining to fiscal and foreign policy, would be in the hands of politicans elected by representatives, whereas many social policies would be in the direct hands of the people to vote on. As this system is currently only availabe on German communal level, Beryism would want to expand it to the national/federal level. Furthermore, he supports federalism over unitarism. He thinks the states should be largely responsible for themselves, except, of course, for national security decisions and the likes, and most social policies, like same-sex marriage, should be left to the states to decide via mentioned referendums. (Although, same-sex marriage, along with most drugs, would be legal on a federal level regardless.) Although he wants to largely leave it to the states up to decide, he, ideally, would like to see the voting age at state and communal levels lowered to 16, but keep the national voting age at 18. He thinks that a teenager of said age is still within the process of maturing at that point and might make unconscious or severely misguided decisions.

[[File:DvCommerce.png]] Economy
Beryism prefers a capitalist free-market economy. He believes true economic democracy is manifested in a market-based system. Markets, in nature, take both current material conditions and the people's desires into respect. Thus, he thinks it is the superior way of allocating goods, with no feudal lord or central planner making consequential long-term decisions that might end up firing backwards. The market will be quicker to adapt to change, as such. Fair and actual competition ensures that the populace gets the best possible prices. For the planned economy, he believes it will either find its way back to a market-based system, like in China, or collapse in itself, like many other places. He thinks autarchic economies such as those of Eritrea or North Korea are not something to strive for, as they create the most backward of pits. He shares skeptical attitude towards market socialism, because he believes having a society centered entirely around worker co-operatives, while it will be infinitely better than planned socialism, will lead to   and overall reduced productivity, growth and prosperity. Nevertheless, worker co-ops should be devoid of bureaucracy and overt regulation and freely allowed to compete with private enterprise. They can perhaps even be encouraged on a small scale, but they can not be the backbone of an economy.

[[File:Fiscon.png]] Fiscal Policy
Beryism thinks it has been shown in countries like Venezuela that fiscal responsibility is a must for every government. A country in such abundance of natural resources, once wealthy, went downhill due to severe resource mismanagement and failure to diversify the economy. Norway, a more fiscally responsible government, manages to be wealthier than even its neighbors due to careful spending of oil revenue, and Botswana rose from a once impoverished nation to the wealthiest country in continental Sub-Saharan Africa, due to not having spent all its diamonds at once. He is generally fiscally conservative, but open to pragmatism. He sees loads of benefits in privatization, as competition drives down prices and leaves people with greater freedom of choice, whereas some industries are, in nature, better off in public hands (roads, healthcare, education...). He prefers a more balanced budget, spending less on maintaining the broken social security system, the terroristic military (not to the point of national suicide), biased state media, and instead using the money more efficiently on a baseline medicare programme and digitalizing/modernizing the German education system.
 * He believes that the current welfare state, that is mostly referring to social security, is way too inflated and has too many people living off of it, even when given the opportunity to work. He wants to cut social spending, and reduce social security to its essentials. In essence, he proposes limited, curtailed social security, for those who truly need it, such as disabled people, or those that were recently fired. For others in need, [[File:Chilib.png]] negative income tax and private charity would fill the spaces. Immigrants enjoy initial financial support, but are quickly incentivized to work. Too much immigration and a strong welfare state are no good couple.
 * He believes that the German public broadcasting system (ÖRR) is obviously a mess and needs reform. First of all, he thinks the taxpayer is paying way too much money in financing this stuff. Many of these taxes, he says, are being spent on entertainment programs instead of anything meaningful. He believes this should be in the hands of private suppliers. That being said, most public broadcasters would be privatized, to curb spending, and to relieve the taxpayer's wallet. However, basic news broadcasting would remain, as everyone should be informed on what is out there.
 * He supports slowly privatizing internet supply, as he believes government-owned shares to currently hold a monopoly over independent providers. He wants different businesses to compete and find the best deals.
 * He wants increased spending in public education, this can not continue. The digitilization program is motivated by wanting to make schools more modern, as shown in countries like Finland and the Netherlands. We shall make things like overhead projectors obsolete and replace them with proper screens.
 * He favours a universal healthcare system. Although he recognizes that the [[File:Cball-US.png]] American healthcare system is not very free market either, but rather is a consequence of too much government involvement. Under a free market healthcare system, there would be different, independent suppliers competing to find the best possible prices for their customers, so he thinks that is important to consider. Despite this annoyance with the American healthcare system being called "free market", he sees it as smarter to sustain a universal healthcare system, as the world's most prosperous nations all feature proper public medicare. The baseline program would be available for every citizen, and ensures basic treatment (or insulin, if you have diabetes, etc.) but if an individual desires to opt out and access higher standards of medical care, and/or has to do so (as in, cannot afford to wait in lines, due to a very serious injury, for example) then he thinks it is their very good right to do so.

[[File:Fiscon.png]] Taxation
With more cautious spending, taxation would be more lenient that it is at the moment. Simply put, Beryism believes that extraordinarily high taxes will reduce people's incentive to work, as most of their income would be taxed away regardless. With less money among the populace, that can result in a weaker economy. Some of his plans include:
 * Repeal the coffee tax, for he thinks it is a useless tax that will be made obsolete with less spending.


 * Repeal the beer tax, for similar reasons as above, as it is a niche tax on an everyday product.


 * Potentially cut even more consumption-related taxes, depending on whether the government can afford it or not.


 * Repeal the inheritance tax, because he thinks the person who gives the money probably worked hard for it, or his ancestors did, and he thinks it should be their conscious decision to let their heirs inherit it or not. Otherwise, it is practically theft.


 * Flatten income tax to a low flat rate. You should and will be allowed to keep most of your rightful income.


 * Introduce a [[File:Georgist.png]] land value tax, to help tackle the housing crisis. This is one of the less coercive taxes and can take the place of the progressive income tax. (For obvious reasons, this cannot be implemented over night, as prices in the housing market are highly distorted. He would have to resort to things such as lifting rent control and deregulating zoning laws first.)


 * Introduce a slightly heftier carbon tax for large CO2-emitting corporations, something that will be explained later on. (This would not affect corporate tax, as he does not want to drive away investment.)

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Regulation
In the vast majority of cases, Beryism thinks price control regulations are a short-term, unsustainable solution to deeply rooted problems. Politicians, especially populists, like making lots of promises that they're going to cap the prices of a service or a product. Rising prices are not always a sign of a corporation's "greed", but rather of changes in supply and demand. And when politicians want to lower the "costs" of certain services or programs in order to make it "more accessible", what they really mean is that they are going to lower the prices. The supplier's costs (material, workers/employees, time) remain the same, and only make it so that the overregulation effectively ends up in the employees getting underpaid. This is not to mention the severe cases of resource misallocation and price distortions in the long run. Despite all of that, he believes it is incredibly important that there are regulations to keep the competition fair, most notably in regards to worker's rights; workplace safety, a sufficient amount of annual leave/vacation for employees, and a suitable minimum wage (though one that is not too high, as to cope with inflation). It must also be made sure that suppliers of goods don't just put in their products whatever they want, they ought to make sure their orange juice makes no one die of dysentery. However, sometimes, the market may take care of certain food mislabels. For example, rumours about faulty goods would spread soon enough for consumers to stop purchasing said goods from those corporations, ideally speaking.

[[File:Cap.png]] Free Trade
Economic globalization, at this point, is basically inevitable according to Beryism. However, instead of seeing it as a bad thing, he sees it like a giant wave. A wave that we must best together and grasp the benefits of instead of letting it flush us away. When looking at a place like Iceland - in the case of a closed or highly protectionist economy, he asks, who will grow the Icelander's bananas and who will manufacture their smart devices? An isolated economy is one that must make sure it can provide its people with anything in potential demand, which is nearly impossible unless your country can grow any fruit and manufacture any smart device within its borders. He thinks free trade paves the way for more exotic products to find their way into our markets, and, on the other hand, helps with industrializing impoverished agrarian societies, if done right, and provide sustainable jobs. He strongly dislikes protectionism and its distortion of price relations and misallocation of scarce resources. It narrows down national supply of goods, supplies the nation with more expensive, inefficient goods and rewards those who would normally lose, while punishing those who would allocate goods properly. As such, he believes that protectionism, in the long term, would drive humanity into atomization and utter poverty.

[[File:Ecocap.png]] Environmental Policy
Beryism recognizes man-made climate change as a real thing (dun-dun-dunnn!). However, he believes that a strong economy is not to be damaged, because giving heavy, sudden blows to the economy for "environmental purposes" will make many people's lives terrible, as they will have less to eat, earn less in general, et cetera. Nevertheless, economic crises are very much able to be reversed, this isn't necessarily the case with environmental damage. That being said, Beryism rejects a purely restriction-oriented environmental policy, he believes it's better to make use of market instruments to combat climate change, such as emissions trading and introducing aforementioned carbon taxes. He thinks the small revenue generated from those carbon taxes can also help us invest in research for technology, which can serve as a tool for combatting climate change. Furthermore, he wants to keep the German recycling culture intact.

[[File:Civlibert.png]] Freedom of Speech
When it comes to freedom of speech - in spite of everything that he thinks about actual racists and bigots, Beryism finds the notion that the government should be able to restrict speech in (almost) any way ridiculous. Free speech is not a "right" to be granted and certified by a paternalistic state, it is something natural that the state shouldn't censor in the first place. He despises how Germany has become a global laughing stock for its hate speech laws, even in non-Nazi-related fields. He is mostly opposed to hate speech laws, both online and in real life. This only ends where the physical or mental well-being of another person begins. He wishes for:
 * Protection of online privacy (the government shouldn't be able to punish you, unless you're basically part of an armed militia trying to organize on Telegram, or advocate violence beyond empty words in general)
 * Repealment of most online hate speech laws, particularly German YouTube's hate speech laws
 * Repealment of laws prohibiting insulting/mocking other religions
 * Un-censoring swastikas in media (video games, movies, etc.) as a part of history, and when Nazism clearly isn't being advocated (which it isn't, most of the time)
 * Holocaust denial remaining a punishable offense

[[File:Civlibert.png]] Pornography and Sex Work
Beryism isn't opposed to pornography, nor to sex work. Under regulation, registration and monitoring, he sees no reason to prohibit the latter.

[[File:Sec.png]] Surveillance
Beryism wishes to repeal most if not all government surveillance, particularly that imposed by the CDU.

[[File:Sec.png]] Justice
Beryism is strongly opposed to the death penalty and any form of corporal punishment. He supports rehabilitative justice for most offenses, especially considering it will be easier to release a falsely convicted criminal than to... resurrect him. All things considered, he thinks some crimes are pretty much unforgivable, and warrant life imprisonment or perhaps life in labor that makes them, at least, contribute to society by building infrastructure, buildings, bridges, et cetera.

[[File:Civnat.png]] Nationalism
Beryism is supportive of civic nationalism as an alternative to both   and. He thinks a good nation is one where the people involved share common values, language and culture. He thinks any such nation has a right to self-determination. He views  as a stupid ideology based on hatred and wanting to keep humanity divided for eternity. In Ethiopia, this is evident in the current "ethno-federalist" system emphasizing more on differences than similarities, causing divide and polarization. Even under the previous, otherwise  , there was a shared Ethiopian civic and cultural identity. Only after the 90's civil war did people start caring about ethnicity again. In such a case, he supports reverting back to the historical provinces and booting the ethnicity-based system. In countries like the DRC, he supports neither maintaining the current hot mess of a system, nor balkanization into ethnicity-based microstates. He proposes "building blocks", where the country is divided into smaller intercultural federations of various nearby cultures that can engage in cross-culture dialogue and work together towards a brighter future, uniting more and more peoples. This ensures that the ethnicities aren't fighting like they are right now, nor the atomization of peoples. (This doesn't warrant intervention, as this is merely a proposal.) He is a non-interventionist, because he believes other countries' affairs are mostly none of our business. He thinks we shouldn't be making the situation in   certain places even worse. This is both financially and ethically unsustainable. If democracy is the superior system, he thinks it won't need the use of force to be spread, most of these operations have resulted in nothing but civil wars and rise in anti-Western sentiment. His ideas should instead prove themselves in the marketplace of ideas. When it comes to immigration, he doesn't mind some liberalized immigration laws, but favours strict integration programmes that make sure newcomers know to respect the country. On the path to citizenship, one must attain knowledge in the national language, the government structure and its routine, along with a clean criminal record, however, he won't force silly, unneeded traditions on anyone. On the topic of borders, he is not necessarily pro-open borders. He supports the Schengen agreement and free movement between EU citizens. In times of crisis, he supports closing the borders, to defuse the situation, additionally to make sure who enters the country and who does not. This, sadly, was not what he saw Merkel do in 15/16, instead opening up all borders, which led to crime and violence skyrocketing, with the addition of the  AfD's rise. We shall be good, but not stupid.

[[File:Pac.png]] Anti-Militarism
He is strongly opposed to wars and conflict. He supports a moderately funded, healthy military, which only serves for defending the nation in case of an imminent war or threat, or to prevent a genocide from happening, thus, the American intervention during WW2 was justified (duh). He opposes any kind of peacetime draft along with supporting a prohibition on selling weapons to regimes of terror (e.g. Turkey, Saudi Arabia), no matter if that is by the state or by private arms producers. Weapon trade with nations under threat from imperialism, such as Ukraine, will however still be allowed. He is also in favor of working with other nations to collectively dismantle all nuclear weapon arsenals.

[[File:Cball-EU.png]] Transnational Alliances
Beryism doesn't view the EU as a fundamentally bad idea. He is in favor of the Eurozone, the Schengen agreement as well as a common market. Nevertheless, he is a soft Eurosceptic, opposing further integration and  Eurofederalism in particular. He finds it unfeasible for similar reasons as World Federalism, he states that you can't represent the desires of all nations, let alone individuals, on such a large scale, without an ungodly amount of centralization. To him, the logical conclusion of such a thing is either a centralist bureaucracy that uses violence and coercion to stay in power, or a truly weak union that falls apart in a matter of years or even months. Ideally, Beryism wants the EU to back away from national affairs, such as immigration, healthcare, social policy and employment. In particular, he finds the idea that the EU can just redistribute immigrants among member states how they please ridiculous. Immigration should remain a national affair, though it is acceptable and good to him if the countries engage in voluntary discourse on how to handle major crises. If this decentralization is done, then, the EU can better focus on technological development and security. Beryism opposes NATO, as he thinks the alliance is far beyond its days. Now, the alliance doesn't serve much purpose besides terrorizing the Third World. So, since NATO is rotten to the core to him, he sees the logical conclusion for Germany as leaving it. But he would not mind a new alliance focused on true self defense, not playing the global cop.

 * [[File:Cultural_Nationalism.png]] - I mean... sorta? Still a bit too far. And too trad, usually. Respect regional minorities, but make sure immigrants integrate.
 * [[File:Isolationist.png]] - You have good approaches to conflict, but you're too often motivated by xenophobia rather than anything else.
 * [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] - You've provided some good economic theories, and free trade is based, but open borders shouldn't necessarily be an ideological imperative. And please boot [[File:Libhawk.png]] them.
 * [[File:Libcon.png]] - I find myself agreeing with a lot of things you say, but again, too much focus on non-issues like "wokeness".
 * [[File:Ancapf.png]] - Hm, I understand the concern that individuals should only be paying for the services that they actually want to use, but it's absolutely more pragmatic to keep a few sectors, such as roads, public.
 * [[File:Cdem.png]] - In Germany, you are too status-quo-upholding. Anywhere else, you are too leftist.

Enemies

 * [[File:Nazi.png]] - No need to explain, even less of a need to make excuses for. Talking to, let alone trying to debate your modern proponents is an experience like none other. Absolutely oblivious to history.
 * [[File:Fash.png]] - Thanks for contributing to humanity's bloodiest conflict, screwing over both your own country and East Africa, as well as creating an insufferable modern fanbase.
 * [[File:Strasser.png]] - The only thing that's better about you is that you prefer a somewhat less expansionist foreign policy. Your economic system is somehow even worse. Still, the Night of Long Knives was a terrible atrocity.
 * [[File:Soc.png]] - You leave turmoil wherever you tread.
 * [[File:Consocf.png]] - The one good thing about conservatives is not to be found in this ideology.
 * [[File:ML.png]] - One of the worst communists. The cultural and economic scars you've left on this world are visible to this day.
 * [[File:Nazbol.png]] - I like to call these people "brainphobic".
 * [[File:LeftCom.png]] - A perfect example of someone who can criticize others while providing zero alternatives himself. Go do something useful for once rather than calling me a fascist on Twitter, twat.
 * [[File:Necon.png]] - Wanting to increase your sphere of influence will incentivize other powers to do the same, eventually leading to a global cataclysm.

 * [[File:Multicult.png]] - Not intended as self-segregation, but will often result in such. You give reasons for the above to rise. We need shared values and culture.
 * [[File:Racenat.png]] - Ethnic nationalism is evil, racial nationalism is funny.
 * [[File:Blacknat.png]] - I frown upon any race- or ethnicity-based nationalism, and this is no exception. Sorry, but individualism is what truly empowers black people.
 * [[File:Whitesup.png]] - Lol. You basically just arose as a counter-movement to the one above. While it can be argued that black nationalism developed just as a movement to empower black people (or was supposed to), this is just supremacy. Deeply cringe.
 * [[File:Ultranat.png]] - Absolutely delusional and shameful.

 * [[File:TheIced.png]] Icedism (9.5/10) - My Indian counterpart, sweet! Your ideals seem quite good to me, I'll have to watch your page development for a while though.
 * [[File:M4RKAru.png]] M4RKAruism (9/10) - Good all around. Free markets and mixing patriotism with international co-operation is very nice. There is some stuff here and there that makes me think a bit, but you are deserving of being up here.
 * [[File:MattBall1.png]] Mattism (8/10) - Basically as left-wing as you can get while still being tolerable. Too left economically, the welfare state shouldn't really be worshipped. And your rejection of all nationalism, even patriotism is quite sussy, so to speak. But what can I say, our basic principles and goals are the same: Liberty, democracy, secularism and progress. And you're not a socialist, so that's good.
 * [[File:Aaron.png]] Aaronism (8.5/10) - Best socialist, to be honest. Now, while I agree that the individual should be free to pursue his own destiny, separate from any sort of cultural or "moral" agenda pushed by the government, I'm not so sure on ideologizing hedonism. Enough said, we agree on most things, and that's nice.
 * [[File:Lexsiek1.png]] Lexsiek (8/10) - Quite based, indeed. But a little radical. Your basic principles are right for sure, though.
 * [[File:Duckf.png]] Pan-Voluntaryism (8/10) - Similar to above. We share similar principles and you are open to different viewpoints. I will be curious to hear your take on Georgism.
 * [[File:NeoArctoismIcon.png]] Neo-Arctoism (8.5/10) - If I look beyond the multiple sections addressing "woke", I can see that policy-wise, we are nearly identical. Center-right liberal, chad.
 * [[File:TDRH.png]] TDRHism (8/10) - Based and non-nutjob-pilled. I disagree with some individual policies, particularly those pertaining to LGBT issues, with the addition of you being too heavy on taxation (unhealthy food tax and school supply taxes? Sheesh...). But our basic principles are the same, and your vision for America is honorable, when looking at the status-quo.

Pretty Based

 * [[File:Higga.gif]] Higgardism (7/10) - Way too radical for my taste. Same principles, different end goals. But you have chosen the right enemies.
 * [[File:Tomjazz.png]] Tomjazzism (6.5/10) - Surprisingly awesome for a socialist. Markets, environmentalism, progress, direct democracy, nicerinoes! But, uhhh, too lefty.
 * [[File:Chirotesla.png]] Chiroteslaism (6.5/10) - Another social democrat, not the worst our world has to offer. You also are a soft Eurosceptic, which is nice. However, you have similar problems to Scarlet in regards to economics; this is what causes stagnation. But otherwise, you're fine. Also good job on being actually progressive, unlike some of your acquaintances.
 * [[File:EvolvingSoc.png]] Evolutionary Socialism (7/10) - We have many common beliefs, such as cultural liberalism, a foreign policy mirroring a healthy mix of internationalism and patriotism (aka maintaining national sovereignty and respecting that of other peoples), and direct democracy, although it ends with workplace democracy for me. Your proposed form of welfare state is not something I would support either. But I can see myself not wanting to kill myself if you were to take power.
 * [[File:SomeCrusade.png]] SomeCrusaderism (7/10) - You're quite alright. I agree with your fiscal policy, and your stances regarding racial issues. Now... that drug policy, nah, man. Furthermore, I think it's interesting that you want to leave weed and same-sex marriage to be left to the states to decide, that shows the lack of federalism we have here in Germany.
 * (6/10) - JoeyFloppaism, but a little less scary, it seems. You're a bit too laissez-faire, there's too much Austrian economics leaking from your economic policy, and you're unnecessarily harsh on LGBT folks. However, you are an anti-communist, anti-authoritarian, against censorship, and you sometimes speak German for no particular reason, which is based.

Mixed

 * [[File:Corplibswap.png]] Left Corporatocracy (4.5/10) - Honestly, why corporatocracy? The consequences of such a system would be similar to a command economy, except you have corporations co-operating with the government to set the most exploitative prices possible. But otherwise, you seem to follow liberal principles, even if you are too lefty for my tastes.
 * [[File:Cflski.png]] Celfloskism (5.5/10) - Honestly, you're kinda fine? Too far left economically, too etatist, and supports the alter-globalization sham, which is sad. Military interventionism is a no-no, if you're gonna tax the hell out of your citizens, spend it on anything but that! But good for being a democrat and a cultural liberal, among some other things.
 * (4.5/10) - You have good approaches to both fiscal and foreign policy, it is a shame your cultural and social stances are so horrendous. And you barely cling to anything resembling liberalism. Better than communists, though.
 * [[File:Typicalfan2.png]] TypicalFan1 Thought (5.5/10) - Cringe Mexican AfD stan (never thought I'd ever say that) and "anti-SJW". Economics seem good (although they are ill-defined), social views could be a lot better, isolationism is not beneficial either, but at least you don't feel like bombing Iraqi orphanages. Overall a typical alt-lite; bad, but not making me want to commit alt-die.
 * [[File:TIMUAAAism.png]] ThisIsMyUsernameAAAism (4/10) - An ancum and a socialist. But despite that, not only do we get along, you also have many cool cultural takes, you hate authoritarian socialism, you support rehabilitative justice, the main problem is the gift economy taking the place of the market economy.
 * (5/10) - I have no lost love with syndicalism or socialism, but you admire liberty, which is good, and you appear to have good taste in mixing nationalism with internationalism. Also, no German bias here ;)
 * (4/10) - Yes, morality is subjective. No, we should not fully reject it. Good for being an anti-authoritarian individualist, but taken to a frankly horrifying extreme. Many based takes, but philosophically, we are miles apart.
 * [[File:Ultro.png]] Ultroneism (4/10) - Very similar to Councilguy, with many of the same quirks, and the one who started the egoist revolts of PCB. Your criticisms of morality are interesting and might get me to read Stirner one day, I have the ability to read the original version, after all. But otherwise, yeah, many disagreements, but you are no authoritarian.
 * [[File:ChronicFemcel-newicon.png]] ChronicFemcel Thought (4/10) - Ack! Another anarchist! So basically, similar to Ultroneism and Post-Councilism. You're socially progressive, which leads us to agree on many things, including that the "Old Left" is kinda stinky doe. But you dislike democracy and hate the free market, so yeah. But you are a very epic person, by the way.
 * [[File:JoeyFloppa_boo.png]] JoeyFloppaism (5/10) - Neo-Afunhumaninterism, but a bit scarier. Your economic policy is alright, though a bit too far, again, you're Austrian and not Chicagoan. Your foreign policy is a terrible mix of isolationism and imperialism. You are way too conservative, and I don't see how you are an individualist, either. But you are a fellow liberal, and perhaps worth cooperating with.

Pretty Cringe

 * [[File:Bmanthought.png]] Bman thought (2/10) - Marxist-Leninist with Islamic and command economy characteristics. Big yikes from me. However, based LGBT rights, secularism and anti-imperialism. Though within a backward system.
 * [[File:Amdist.png]] American Distributism (3/10) - You have gotten culturally even farther right. What is good is that you seem to appreciate racial equality dearly. What's less good is that you are unnecessarily homophobic most of the time. You need to be more skeptical on nationalization, it rhymes with stagnation for a good reason. And "degeneracy"? Really? Don't go full rightoid.
 * [[File:PSP_icon.png]] Philippine Social Populism (3/10) - Very similar quirks and problems as Scarlet, I think you went too deep into the anti-imperialist rabbit hole. Your civic nationalism is cool, but socialism makes it so much worse. Also, you focus way too much on non-issues, such as "wokes".
 * [[File:Chimp.png]] Silly Chimpism (2.5/10) - Metbol, but I guess you are at least unafraid to not call yourself a liberal. If you had embraced corporatism and not capitalism, you'd be in Cringe. You also give off lots of fascist vibes.
 * [[File:Davilanda.png]] Davilandism (3/10) - A globalist and a reactionary. You're just... not a libertarian, like at all. Still, you support the free market, so that's cool.

Cringe

 * [[File:GenShrekf.png]] General Shrekretary Thought (1/10) - Basically my polar opposite on every issue, besides race. Unironically looks up to Stalin, favours a command economy (why), is populistic and disdains free trade. Goes here for obvious reasons.
 * [[File:NeoImmorx.png]] Neo-Immorxism (1.5/10) - Overall a very unpleasant ideology, syndicalism is like putting the bus driver in charge of managing his firm. You say you are democratic, but you have a tendency towards being very undemocratic to those you oppose ideologically. But, in all fairness, I'll have to see how your page will develop for your part regarding democracy. However, I will give you credit for being a fellow LVT enjoyer.
 * [[File:R-i.png]] Neo-Bannnedism (1/10) - Glad you're back, but your ideology is as horrifying as ever. You seem to have given up republicanism and replaced it with authoritarianism. But you are slightly less anti-semitic now. What's more, you aren't racist, or... at least you claim not to be. Otherwise, your policy isn't my cup of tea, to say the least.
 * [[File:Cheesenism_(PB).png]] Cheesenism (0/10) - An authoritarian theocrat with no respect for the individual's dignity. Don't know, but it feels like you tried to take almost everything wrong with this world and cram it into one. But hey... you hate commies, that's cool. Not like common enemies have to mean anything, though. (cool guy on Discord, might I note)
 * [[File:Hydra.png]] Hydra'ism (-10/10) - Bro?
