    The purpose of an education is to learn how to think, not how to work.

    A lot of universities are being treated as training centers for the world of work - and this is not ok.

    Death penalty is wrong. Also vengeance prison is wrong, VERY unpopular opinions. I can’t tell you how many people will full on yell at you if you say this in public. I think rehab prison is what should happen for any prisoner that isn’t in for murder one or rape, domestic abuse. Financial crimes? House arrest, monitored assets, no access to exploitable systems. Property crime? Make sure they have a legitimate job, parole, house arrest if serious, garnished wages. We could have the vast majority of prisoners on parole or house arrest and in treatment, or jobs programs and out prison population would be at a normal percentage compared to the rest of the world.

    All drugs should be legal, but bodily autonomy is to high a purity test for everyone on planet earth.

    Admit it everyone, capitalists will not let us live in peace. At least let me get high to numb the pain of existence.

    People shouldn’t be jumping through hoops to conceive their own child while there are already children in need of a home

    Religions that seek to dismantle secular democracies should be persecuted, otherwise we’re just ending up with a different take on “tolerating the intolerant”, and end up like the USA, Hungary, Poland, Russia, et cetera.

    Religious freedom should stop at wanting to dismantle secular democracy, just like we don’t allow murderous cults, we should also not allow anti-democratic ones.

    People don’t choose to be pedophiles. We shouldn’t hate them just for existing.

    People choose to abuse children, and that should be strongly punished and I think the majority agrees with me on that.

    But a non-offending pedophile is someone with a disability and should be treated as such.

    i think that institutions should be respected.

    It’s the number one problem in american politics right now, everything we are currently experiencing, is from people treating politics like a toy. Rather than an institution.

    It’s so incredibly hard to state how critically important it is for the functioning of society, that the structures running our society, are respected.

    A universal right to self. Get the trans / gay community, the raw milkers, the anti vaccers, the druggies and the prochoice crowd all on the same page.

    The government should make no law demanding or preventing the alteration of any and all, organs protrusions or growths of organic matter attached to and constituting the body of a sentient person not under the court directed care of another.

    I don’t believe in capitalism. I don’t think we should strive for endless economic growth. Sustainability and shared benefits and burdens are the way to go.

    Everything is fair in fiction. No matter how sensitive or dark a topic is, fictional settings are the only place where anything should be allowed.

    This does not mean that attacking/defaming people is ok, just that “I don’t like this” or “this is insensitive” should never be brought up against the existence of a work of fiction.

    I’m not sure if “most” people would disagree with that, but there are too many that believe that fiction should be ruled by (subjective) morale and laws, while I believe it should be the place where anything goes.

    hunting an fishing when a man needs to feed their family is is fine no matter where you are. A person has a right to survive and eat without being molested by the police and greedy judges… A person with no money is still a person.
