Aperson14 Thought

Welcome to my page, this isn't really anything coherent or structured, it's just my thoughts 'n shit on different things. I'll hop on from time to time to uhhhh ramble about shit.

There is no real coherent set of beliefs here, whenever I feel like it I'll pop on here and ramble about what I think. If you want an icon or two here you go: (////).

Aperson14 believes that the right to own property is a basic human right, but not necessarily in the traditional capitalist sense, which he detests. He believes rather that instead of the purchase and sale of property, property is rather owned directly by who uses it, and that property may be defended at all costs.

For example, if a group of farmers use a plot of land to farm, and all of a sudden a group of  criminals show up and begin harassing them, it is only natural for the  farmers to arm themselves and fight against the criminals.

While still being a socialist, therefore believing that (most) property should be socially owned, he still believes that individuals must be able to defend themselves and their property against tyranny.

Aperson14 believes that the government should be extremely limited  in order to preserve the liberties and rights of the individual (he also supports the right for the people to form an organized militia to fight against tyranny), he does not agree with  anarchism, believing that a government is necessary in order to avoid the total collapse of society and to centralize the processes of government better.

For a quick summary of the government's structure, he supports a secular,  constitutional,  semi-direct,  federal  republic. He believes that there should be a central regional government to rule the area, with it functioning mainly on a form of liquid democracy for the legislature. The judiciary will be carried out by an elected, experienced jury and the executive will primarily be elected as well.

Aperson14 believes that civil society exists as a natural consequence of humanity itself, humans, when the circumstances are right, are naturally greedy and violent, thus, civil society is necessary in order to repress our individual desires for chaos and violence with the threat of consequence, although the individual in question must also be reformed in order to prevent such an incident again. The lack of civil society will (obviously) see a massive rise in pillaging and bloodshed. Our desires must obviously be suppressed so we don't kill 14 people with a hand axe, but Aperson14 strongly opposes any form of highly centralized society.

Aperson14 highly despises modern society, believing that is it way too centralized and keeps humans trapped, unable to explore their passions or simply live their lives as they wish without the threat of consequence. Aperson14 identifies as a member of the Post-Left  (although rejecting some of it's anarchist and individualistic beliefs), he believes that society must avoid extreme centralization at all costs so that the  people are not reprogrammed as  mindless cogs in the machine to serve a powerful  elite. He believes the people should engage in armed  insurrection against the  system and try to separate from it, or otherwise actively fight against the  elite to preserve their own autonomy via  strikes and  civil disobedience.

Adding onto this as a sort of quick footnote, Aperson14 believes that markets as a whole keep individuals trapped in the system because it forces them to rely on a form of  wage slavery and makes them sacrifice their time, energy, and even their lives in some awful tragedies in order to obtain profit. This is why he strongly despises any form of market  based ideologies.

"Capitalist Realism" is a 2009 essay published by communist Mark Fisher. As you may or may not know, it discusses how capitalism and it's system as a whole has become so ingrained onto our mind, onto our society that moving beyond seems almost impossible, as if it was a pipe dream, with the only realistic option being good ol' capitalism. So, is this true?

Yes, to a certain extent. Capitalism has left it's toll in the world, in more ways then one, but in the specific way I'm talking about is  consumerism, consumerism and consumer products has become so natural to us that should we switch to  economic planning, there will be too many consumer products for a planning committee to actually plan, because people are used to these things and want them, and will be upset if they get them. You can imagine planning simple things like bread, apples, and fish, but there's over 1000 brands of cereal, so uh, good luck lol.

However, Aperson14 believes that a communist world is difficult but possible (although he is not communist, believing it to be semi-idealistic, dogmatic, and too materialist), and will only become possible once we have abandoned modern consumer products in favor of more simple things, unfortunately we can not outright remove those products because people will get angry and demand them back, because to them it's the only way of life, the only realistic option we have is for us to return to a more  agrarian style of life (which he supports), or alternatively wait 50 or 60 so years for capitalism to fade out of the  people's minds. Aperson14 prefers the agrarian option because nature is based because nature is more well-, natural and our brains will be happier with a more natural way of living, without the dehumanizing suburbs of neoliberalism, and a more relaxing disorganized collections of cabins with easy access to the world around you.

Aperson14 believes that urban cities are restrictive of human freedom, dehumanizing and not natural. He believes that society should be organized on a more agrarian focused villages which allow for easy human access to our natural environment and lessens the harmful effects of modern technology. He does not necessarily believe in living a primitive lifestyle, believing the total rejection of technology will only make life harder, as such there must be a careful balance with slow development and restrictive use of technology.

Aperson14 is atheist, but he still believes that we were not put on Earth by whatever God or lifeforce or whatever just so we can tear down miles of beautiful forests so we can build a kick-ass Walmart with a nice 600 capacity parking lot. We humans are naturally connected with nature, and we will be happier living off the land in a more simple life rather then relying on modern consumerism and medication (not to say that modern medicine doesn't necessarily work per se).

Aperson14 views modern tech with some level of distrust, and believes that technology can be used for good but can quickly become used for evil and malignant purposes, CRISPR Genetic Engineering for example can do so much wonderful things with curing awful genetic disease, but can quickly develop into a dystopian nightmare where people are reduced to  mere cogs in the machine.

Aperson14 believes that life is a gift, a precious one, and that individuals should struggle at all costs in order to ascertain happiness. Aperson14 believes that life has no true meaning, but it is up to us the experiencers to enjoy life anyways and ensure our stay here is as comfy as can be. He believes that the current system is unfulfilling, dull, traps humans, and wastes the gift of life. Any attempts to reform or  completely change the system will cure some of the issues, but the overall problem will remain the same. While routine is an important part of life, believes that life should not be a monotonous toil in an office building with a quick commute home, drinking a beer and watching TV, and then off to bed to repeat it.

Life should instead be a relaxing adventure in the wild learning how to rely off both yourself and the community (not to mention the land as well) and preserving both the  and  freedom.

So, arm yourselves lads, retreat to the woods and build yourself a nice cabin and admire the outdoor world and the simplicity of life.

Relations are based off your ideology only. Comment to be added.

[[File:Mega Yes.png]] Priesthood of the Temple of Based
Welcome brother, you have ascended.

[[File:Yes.png]] Temple of Based Followers
Your ideology is more like a 9/10, change a few things up and you'll be ready to ascend to the Temple.
 * [[File:Amm1.png]] Amism - Literally me, but more ethnic and cultural nationalist 'n conservative, also a bit more pro-market, overall pretty good. Oh, and also a bit more anarchist.
 * [[File:O'Langism.png]] O'Langism - Alright, this seems pretty based. My only complaint would your anarchism (which is fine) and your support for a more reform-oriented approach, overall very good, this'll work quite nicely.

[[File:Kinda Yes.png]] Temple of Based Initiates
You're close, but still far away from the secrets of the Temple, keep working, for soon you will be able to ascend and start your path to becoming a true member.
 * [[File:Neokira2.png]] Neo-Kiraism - This ideology is honestly, a solid 5 or 6/10. It's overall fine, but your support for a vanguard state in which all opposition is banned is pretty cringe, not to mention the whole Marxist thingy which I don't really agree with, then there's also how you want criminals to either be tortured every single day or otherwise brutally executed. So, not good. Become more libertarian and less pro-torture and this'll be fine.
 * [[File:Yoda8soup.png]] Yoda8soup Thought - Not too bad, looks pretty good. The pro-market shit isn't good in my opinions, mainly because I believe that markets are generally incompatible with true human freedom, but overall this is based, love your social and civics beliefs as well.

[[File:Meh.png]] Non-Believers
Ah, a non-believer, would you like to join the Temple? I see potential in you.

[[File:Kinda No.png]] Repentant Sinners
You have sinned, but fear not, you can ascend.

[[File:No.png]] Blasphemous Heretics
You speak lies and half-truths about the Temple! Your sin is great, but there is a chance, but it is slim.

[[File:Mega No.png]] Eternal Damnation

 * [[File:BERNHEism.png]] BERNHEism - Well, let's get on with it then. Your anti-populist rhetoric is horrendous, while I'm not one to fully dedicate myself to populism, it's okay at least, but you take it a bit too far. You claim that the people don't think rationally and they need guidance from the state, yet we've seen time and time again that the people want change but politicians will not give it, for example, gun reform in the US, climate change regulations in France, peace protests in Russia. Along with this, your totalitarianism makes a technocratic government more difficult, because at least under democracy individuals can be held responsible, under your totalitarian style of government, a clique of oligarchs can easily seize power and use the state for their own advantage, undermining your meritocracy. Basically overall, your government would be rampant with cronyism 'n shit as opposed to true actual technocracy. Your economics are decent to bad, the protectionism is cool though, your Chicago-inspired capitalism does not work well (think of Pinochet's Chile, three economic crashes, 15% wage drop, highest income inequality in Latin America etc), plus your state monopoly over entire industries would easily cause economic disaster. I don't have much to say for your civics or your social policy, learn to be nicer to other countries and be nicer to the gays I guess. Your post-humanism is a bit scary though, maybe when the singularity happens you won't be executed and just reprogrammed into a soulless droid who can toil endlessly in a factory. Overall, this ideology ain't great, and I genuinely despise totalitarianism, you only like it because you think you would be the one in charge (well duh its a self insert), but how would you feel living under a brutal police state and your family was executed by a state-controlled death squad? Probably not good.

Ask whatever, if you ask my opinion on something I might add it to my beliefs to further explain my ideology. - Mind if I steal the "Temple of Based" section and the one below it? Also, please re-add me. Neo-Kiraism - add me when u can, comrade O'Langism - add me? - Add me?
 * [[File:Aperson.png]] Aperson14 Thought - Not at all, and I'll add you.
 * [[File:Aperson.png]] Aperson14 Thought - Done! Mind adding me back?
 * [[File:Aperson.png]] Aperson14 Thought - No worries, it's done, add me back as well.
 * [[File:Aperson.png]] Aperson14 Thought - Ironically, I was just thinking about you and your ideology, NOT IN A GAY WAY, DON'T TAKE IT LIKE THAT LMFAO. Sure though. Add me back.
 * - Add me? :)
 * [[File:Aperson.png]] Aperson14 Thought - Done, add me back if you can.
