EDITORS NOTE: This is basically a copy of an article on my blog, but since the chance that I write something politically motivated is pretty damn high, it might be useful to list where I stand on things.
Just to clarify, I'll explain what my policial and social viewpoints are. I often disagree with liberal leftists, who then promptly assume I'm on the right-hand side of the political spectrum, while I'm actually pretty far removed from that, other than that I agree with a few things that the conservatives like to put forward. Just because I think modern day feminism and social justice is dangerous and harmful, doesn't mean I'm automatically part of the alt-right. I find many of the alt-right viewpoints deplorable. But the so-called 'liberal left' likes to lump people into boxes, I guess.
To summarize:
- As stated before, I think social marxism and current day intersectional feminism are pointless and harmful to society.
- Black lives matter is a terrorist organisation.
- The glass ceiling and wage gap are debunked: [youtube

Diversity is nice, but shouldn't overrule merit. Same goes for gender equality in the workspace. Just have competent people in the right positions. I couldn't care less which end the scale tips.
Reverse racism doesn't exist. Racism is still racism, no matter how you spin it.
Treating white heterosexual men any way differently than anyone else is just as racist and discriminatory as mistreating someone from a so-called minority group
There are 2 genders. Non-binary is bullshit. Period. Yes, people transition from one to the other, and I have no problems with that, but such cases are uncommon. People that firmly believe they are one of the 40+ tumblr genders need to seek professional help.
Raising your pre-teen/pre-pubescent kid to be 'trans' or 'non-binary' is tantamount to child abuse.
Government should be small
Government should stop patronizing it's citizenry.
Political Correctness is social cancer
Everyone has a right to offend and to be offended.
Unbridled free speech, no matter how controversial.
The European Union is undemocratic, and should either be completely reformed or done away with. Given the glacial pace the EU moves, I prefer the latter.
The Euro is a failed currency.
Mass immigation is a bad idea. Open borders too.
Politics should be transparant. I'm paying tax, and I would like to see what happens to my hard earned money.
I do care about the environment. Wind and solar are pollution. Nuclear power is the future.
(strict!) Seperation of church and state. No parties with religion at it's core. Religious people are welcome to join secular parties.
I really don't give a toss who you sleep with and what sex that other person has. Neither do I care what sex the person is that you marry. And if you are a good pair of parents, you should be able to adopt.
Abortion should never be made illegal, although I would prefer that people just don't have kids. Anti-conception, folks. Still cheaper than raising a kid. But a rape victim might not have a choice in that matter.
On that note, cat-calling is not rape. Forced involuntary coitus is. Yes, this is a simplification.
Veganism is unhealthy for most people. That's just my personal opinion. Otherwise, I really don't give a shit about your dietary preferences.
I don't care what you believe, or what color your skin is.
Most beliefs are stupid. Including my own.
Belief and religion are not the same things. A belief is your own. A religion is someone telling you what and/or how to believe. I have serious reservations about the latter.
That's quite a list, and some things are kryptonite to some people. Funnily enough I generally sit more in the classic libertarian end of the spectrum. Don't believe me? Here's a snap of my political compass:
As I have said in other posts, I've been leaning more and more towards the center, but I am way too libertarian to be classed completely right-wing.
I hope that clears things up a bit.
