Tiberius Thought

Braun Spencer Thought is the economically center to center-right, culturally variable, and nationalist ideology of the blogger Braun Spencer.

[[File:Consequentialism.png]] Philosophy [[File:Idealist.png]]
Braun Spencer Thought believes the prime aim of life is self-overcoming, and that a strong, cohesive community is necessary to tear down barriers to such a pursuit. He feels the best label for this is, balancing individuality with the national interest.

[[File:Republicanismpix.png]] Civics [[File:Authdem.png]]
One overlooked aspect of Braun Spencer Thought is his support for. He believes a strong, democratically elected executive authority, wielding a  technocratic cabinet and a brutally effective  police force, is necessary to advance his long-term goals. The legislature should be dominated by a single party which embodies his greater ideals, making it difficult for outside voices to compete.

[[File:Indiv.png]] Culture [[File:Col.png]]
Braun Spencer Thought moderately progressive on social and cultural matters. In general he's supportive of individual freedoms, so long as they do not conflict with the well-being of the community or  country as a whole. He is supportive of LGBT rights,  reproductive choice, and  racial equality (for  civic nationalist reasons); but he sees merit in promoting  patriotism,  family formation,  regulation of narcotics, and  gun control.

[[File:Soccap.png]] Economics [[File:Fiscon.png]]
Braun Spencer Thought espouses the  with   characteristics. He believes that  is the best system for generating wealth, beauty, and prosperity through elevating the  most gifted, learned individuals in society to positions of  industrial leadership. But he feels that corporations, with their wealth and influence, have a noblesse oblige—greater responsibility to their workers, consumers, and society at large. He thus favors workplace unionization, enough  intervention to sustain a vibrant middle class, and  wealth redistribution to strengthen social mobility. In addition he desires:
 * [[File:SocCap2.png]] Public-private partnerships (P3s).
 * [[File:Property.png]] Strong intellectual property protections.
 * [[File:Statecap.png]] Social wealth funds in natural resources.
 * [[File:Fiscon.png]] Balanced budgets during times of economic normalcy.
 * [[File:Right-Distributism.png]] Profit sharing and employee stock ownership.

[[File:Imp.png]] Foreign Policy [[File:Necon.png]]
For Braun Spencer Thought, the international system is anarchic: Best characterized by the Hobbesian war of all against all. But he also agrees with "capitalist peace theory", the idea that open markets and integrating more nations into supply chains reduces unnecessary conflict. A combination of hard power and soft power is to him the best way to sustain the American Empire. His foreign policy can be compared to British imperialism, but heavily modernized. The goal of American foreign policy for him is two-fold:
 * 1) The creation of a [[File:Globalism.png]] "Global Commercium" or a massive, global supply chain while ensuring complacency among trading partners. Trade is the best way to project soft power while ensuring weaker powers are dependent on the United States and her [[File:Cball-NATO.png]] allies for survival.
 * 2) The use of a [[File:Mil.png]] strong military and [[File:CIA.png]] security apparatus to destroy adversaries and competing ideologies (e.g., [[File:Soc.png]] socialism), defend allies, and install puppet states (i.e. [[File:Banana_Republicanism.png]] banana republics). This combination of "peace through strength" and interventionism falls into hard power.

Positive

 * [[File:BERNHEflash.gif]] BERNHE0504 - Probably the person I have most in common with in this community! Apart from some of your conservative social views, I don't have many complaints with you.
 * [[File:Icon_oRange.png]] oRange System [[File:Icon_oRange_Alt.png]] - Same as above; my main disagreements with him are on civic nationalism and foreign policy. He's also further left than me.
 * [[File:Vexism.png]] Vexism - Great friend, although we don't have much in common outside of a few philosophical similarities.
 * - One of the most wholesome members of this community, albeit more economically left-wing than me.
 * [[File:Stilluserricon.png]] - Embrace the profit motive and your ideology would be epic.
 * - Embrace the [[File:3way.png]] Third Way and you'll be based!

Mixed

 * [[File:Pixil-frame-0(27).png]] - You may have some based economic takes, but your conservative values are awful. Also, you should be supportive of [[File:Imp.png]] American imperialism since it was the biggest supporter of [[File:Suharto.png]] Suharto.
 * [[File:O%27Langism.png]] - A blend of syndicalism and mutualism actually seems based, but your anti-statism ruins everything. As [[File:Hamiltonianism.png]] Hamilton predicted—and which history only confirmed—you need a powerful central government and markets for [[File:Prog.png]] human progress.
 * [[File:Panth.png]] Pantheonism - Guild socialism is cringe and so is pacifism, but otherwise you're not too bad.
 * - Same with [[File:Vexism.png]] her pretty much, although you're a pleasant person.
 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] Glencoe - Your views are tolerable.
 * [[File:Iconfloofel.png]] - A very wholesome person but we have nothing in common (except for agrarianism but for vastly different reasons).
 * - Same as above pretty much.
 * [[File:Rock.png]] Rocksism - Too left-wing but otherwise okay.
