Current Events > what's your most far right viewpoint?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If the sole purpose of your military is to persuade other countries not to invade, all you need is a handful of working ICBMs.

There is no way Russia and/or China could carry out an invasion and occupation of the US. Invading and occupying even relatively small countries, who have nothing more than a lightly armed militia and IEDs, is incredibly difficult, ruinously expensive, impossible to sustain, and delivers very little benefit.

I think if your military got worse the place that would be in trouble most is Europe tbh. Theyd invade us way sooner.

You might be correct, however self defense isnt the sole reason for The Pentagons existence, as I am sure we all know.

This is definitely not true. That's kind of like saying you only ever need a pneumatic jackhammer for every home improvement project because it can essentially do whatever a screwdriver or hammer might accomplish. If all you have are nuclear missiles, then you cannot really adequately respond to most threats. Also the military does other stuff like humanitarian aid and protecting shipping and disaster relief.

Anyway I guess my furthest right viewpoint would be that there should be limitations to free speech, specifically definitions of hate speech should be expanded and we shouldn't tolerate pro-Nazi/pro-fascism language or attitudes.

Oh man, I didn't even consider this because I didn't really consider it right-wing.

I mean, it seems nonsensical to say it's right-wing to not allow hate speech since that's what right-wing politics subsists off of, however I guess the censorship aspect could be considered right-wing.

Well, yeah, I agree with that viewpoint. Seeing the harm that U.S. free speech laws has caused this country has honestly turned me against the U.S.'s concept of free speech.

The events of the past 2 years makes it obvious that they literally couldnt manage an invasion of North America. The best they could do is rain whatever of their ICBM arsenal that actually still exists and is in working order on us. And I know that would be devastating, but they would never do that, they know for a fact that every one of our nukes are in working order. While most of the theres have been dismantled by the oligarchs behind the Kremlins back.

I agree. There are plenty of sound reasons for wanting a strong military.

However, the idea that one of them is to prevent us from waking up to find Chinese tanks on the White House lawn is false.

probably death penalty with guns as a very close second

if what youve done is serious enough to be sentenced to death i dont care about your comfort level

If our military was weak it wouldn't be false.

I'm pretty crazy when it comes to the 2A. I think people should be able to own any kind of firearm, including bazooka, mini guns, grenades and tanks. With that said, I also agree regulations. My idea is to have tiered gun owner qualifications. Tier 1 would be like handguns, shotguns, and hunting rifles. You can enter this tier when you turn 18, background check and pass the qualifications which are; cleaning, accuracy, gun knowledge and gun safety. Once you been tier one without any psychological or criminal background discrepancies, you can move to tier 2 which would be non-automatic rifles and smg's, same qualifications. Then 5 years after that you can get tier 3 which would be automatics and high capacity magazines with much greater qualifications. 10 years after that you can get anti-armor weapons like grenades, rocket launchers, and grenade launchers with higher qualifications. 10 years after that you reach Tier 5 is armored vehicles, military grade armor and rounds.

Of course this is insane and will never happen but ya asked lmao

No logical, and or educated person thinks China will invade the mainland. However, we need to a maintain a strong military to deter them from invading their neighbors in SE Asia,

I agree with the public having tanks and shit BUT as a militia. As the 2nd A states a well regulated militia like them having strict standards on who can join. Basically a military for the people just in case we ever do need to fight our own military.

You really think I couldn't be done if we had a weak ass military. I highly doubt Mexico would jump to our aid even If they could.

Yeah, people buying into the idea of China invading us is so strange to me. Like, we have a ridiculous amount of Chinese imports in the US. The US market is lucrative enough to China that it's way more beneficial to them to keep us around

Yeah I don't think k they'd invade currently bur shit changes over time. Think it was a quote from. Mgs3 today's allies can be tomorrow's enemies.

And it's just not China. I wasn't even really talking about them I was just talking in general

Ok what does Mexico have anything to do with this? Unless you think a Red Dawn could possibly happen? In which case I stand I by what I said about your intelligence. It is almost 4:30 am here so I wont post any more for at least 4 or 5 hours.

Good point, maybe also add tier 3 and above requires you to be part of the state militia.

Edit: I would also like to point out that it would be mainly to fight against people like trump.

.I think they could be bullied into being another countries staging point or bribed.

Then again. I honestly have no clue what Mexico military is like.

Since a few people have mentioned guns, that's not a right-wing position any more than any other kind of personal freedom is. The banning of books, abortion, drag shows, etc. isn't "despite" Republicans being far-right. It's a direct feature of it. If you go far enough left, you get your gun rights back.

The only "freedom" conservatism offers is to the in-group to harass and murder minorities, the out-group, without the government stopping them or allowing that out-group to defend themselves. That's not freedom.

Comedians can make jokes about absolutely any subject they want and if theyre a good one I fully trust the context and intent.

Mark Normand had an excellent bit on it.

Audience member: You should apologize for that joke.
Mark: Ugh, sorry I guess?
Audience member: You didnt mean that apology.
Mark: I didnt mean that joke.

Yeah, it's really overblown about not being able to joke about anything anymore. Even SNL makes crude jokes that most people would probably think can't be done anymore.

And people have been complaining about being offended by humor for as long as it's been around.

Yeah I knew a guy who clearly had some screws loose in his head but over time what he claimed to have kept changing.

Some videos on Facebook got me thinking I'm adhd though. These videos discuss odd things people with adhd do or other traits and so far every single one was true for me. But I never had problems in school or anything so idk.

I think the USA should always prioritize helping its own citizens over aid to other nations, barring the exception of aid after a natural disaster.
Exempt cell phone service from the entertainment tax or at least create a new tax at a lower rate for cell phone service. Cell phone usage is critical to many people for non-entertainment purposes.

Many countries offer aid after natural disasters, and it would simply be a bad look for the USA not to offer aid in that regard.

Am I of poor moral views if I'd be against the death penalty but allow for a punishment that allowed the criminal to choose suicide at any point during their life imprisonment? I'm neutral on the death penalty for crimes of murder, though I don't support the death penalty for every murderer, and so long as the death penalty exists I would also support the death penalty as punishment for severe cases of reckless homicide and manslaughter.

When I was teen every body and their brother was bi polar do I get it

And nah it hasn't had any detrimental effect on my life if I do got it. If I got it's a mild case.

Like the symptoms traits I've heard about I got that do have some impact is apparently adhd people have worse balance than normal people. And they despite even having decent or good hearing tend to have to ask people to repeat themselves cause what they heard sounded like gibberish. And I know my hearing is good I will hear someone utter my name from across a large room. It's caused a lot of people to learn to not talk shit about me if I'm in the same room cause I always walk up and say what's up I heard you say my name

Except helping our own citizens isn't a right-wing position. The right-wing position is our citizens are supposed to pull themselves up by their bootstraps instead of expecting a handout from the government.

I was diagnosed with ADHD, suspected autism but the test results came back negative (higher than average score but nowhere near a diagnosis) and it has an immensely detrimental effect on my life. There are loads of people with real issues, the difference is people take it seriously now. There is that social media trend of faking disabilities but Id wager most people who say they have issues do have issues.

I agree people should be pushed to try and pull themselves up by the bootstraps but give em some help in the meantime

Hell I wouldn't mind a program where they find out what you are qualified to do and they give you odd jobs based on what you are capable of doing even as far as providing transportation if needed. Like we don't need inmates cleaning up the side of the roads. That's an escape risk and it only ends one of two ways if they try. We got a criminal on the loose or they get shot and likey killed for trying.

The US doesnt have an equivalent to this?

Way less government control. Particularly in regards to legalized cannabis.

I don't like PDA's, and get annoyed by people publicly talking about their sex life.

Theres issues Im close to the center on, but few where Im actually right of center. Maybe certain decency censorship issues, and Im probably a bit more right than most here on education.

I think there needs to be some standard for third trimester abortions, but Im not smart enough to figure out how that can be implemented given all the nuance.

Not that I'm aware of.

Closest I know of and I don't think they do it anymore you where given a log and had to get managers or whatever to sign it stating you did apply for a job there. As long as you did that they left you alone.

Well they might still do that in some cases cause I knew a woman who would go through jobs like underwear like I mean work a Month or so then become a chronic no call no show till she got fired. and people speculated she did it to stay on welfare.

Other than that we got temp agencies but you gotta go to them. And temp agencies here are a scam you get paid less than had the company themselves hired you and on top of that you gotta pay the temp agency a percentage

They used to have a program where if you helped build x amount of houses you got a house. Wish that was still around

Death penalty for certain crimes & more dictatorial control in times of crisis

Valid. The right loves to say "why is the USA helping people abroad when we aren't helping the people at home, especially our veterans!" The right doesn't seem to ever act on helping the American people as a whole however. The right talks the talk, but never walks the walk with that one.

I definitely have a lot of suspicions about most of these "disability influencers" but I keep it to myself because the one time you call someone out is the one time you're going to be wrong.

Even if the test are only suggestions I doubt most would accept them. Hell if anything theyd probably do otherwise just to prove them wrong.

Although I disagree on not using inmates for labor. Its pretty big waste for them to just rot away in jail for their crimes without them at least contributing contributing a little to society.

The amount we spend on foreign aid (outside of these last couple years with Ukraine) is pretty small(40-50 billion) at less than 1% of our federal budget.

Economic aid to other countries is greatly beneficial to others while barely making a dent in our budget. I just don't think it's anywhere close to an either/or choice.

The right likes to claim they're for small government but it's a complete lie, they tend to want the biggest most oppressive government once in power.

The government and military should intervene in foreign conflict, at least some of the time.

Is it right wing to think many of these mental health diagnoses are im not a bad parent, theres something wrong with YOU.

Of course there are a ton of legitimate illnesses, but I feel like some of these labels are slapped on to any kid that is even slightly irregular, when it might have something to do with getting a fucking IV of Mountain Dew at age 5 as their eyeballs are glued to a tablet from wake to sleep.

I think people should be able to own as many guns as they want as long as they dont abuse them, and I think keeping say, someone who raped and murdered a 3 year old (as I remember a news story about exactly that) alive in prison for decades instead of putting a $1 bullet in his head is a flagrant waste of taxpayer money.
