My politics are defined by a libertarian value structure. Limiting the state’s power in particular and centralized power in general is the position from which I begin nearly all issues.

I believe in God, and I think most people use politics in place of religion. Modernism in political thought replaced God with government, ideology and weakness. In so doing, the society’s descent into derisive quasi-religious acrimony and conflict was inevitable. Russian nihilism figured this out a few centuries beforehand. Without an external point of reference to make sense of the world, people struggle to find the means to meaning on their own.

I do not recognize the legitimacy of either the Republican or Democrat parties. I am also skeptical of people who have very long lists of big words with ambiguous, shifting meanings to describe their ostensible political ideology or inclinations. For example, I doubt an anarcho-feminist postmodern transhumanist could even coherently explain what they think they stand for.
