My political views

My political stance is as follows

The world is too fucking complicated, and there is no society in which all problems can be solved by a universal, one-size-fits-all formula. Doctrines and platforms that aim at particular, pre-defined outcomes are dangerous because they ultimately fail at two things at once: their own goal, and the expectations of the people.

To me, one thing all parties in all countries around the world are universally guilty of is this: our political rivals propose a great solution to the problem we're having, but we're going to oppose it because we don't want to give them political credit or boost their popularity and influence.

The only political 'platform' that has a chance to produce both short- and long-term solutions to as many political, economic, social or cultural issues is the skeptical and analytical approach on a case-by-case basis. We look at the problem, we look at all possible solutions regardless of our political affiliations, and we implement the best solution irrespective of which party, person, or group of power it might promote or benefit politically. 

Therefore, my place on the political spectrum is that of a true centrist - that is to say a centrist who wants the best solution for every problem, and doesn't give a flying fuck whether that solution is gonna come from the left or the right as long as it's the best one, or as close to it as we can get.

Criticism of centrism

There are three main arguments against centrism and centrists. These are:

1. Centrists are cowards who don't want to stand up for something and to defend their position;
2. Centrism is basically populism;
3. Centrism does not provide long-term strategies, it's just patching up whatever problem arises without committing to long-term solutions and visions for the future.

Any or all of these points may be true for some people or movements who call themselves centrist, but they are not true of actual TRUE CENTRISM. 

1. Centrism is not cowardice or non-commitment. It's commitment to political solutions and well-being that does not concern itself with political tribalism and partisanship. The football fan who watches the game without rooting for either of the two teams is a centrist; you DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A FAVORITE TEAM IN ORDER TO LOVE THE GAME.
2. Centrism is not populism. Populism is going with the public opinion to appease the masses. Centrism concerns itself with the best possible solution for every problem - and the masses don't always necessarily know what's best for them, or even understand the root of the problem at all. Populists may call themselves centrists, but they are lying, plain and simple.
3. Centrism is committed to the long-term strategy of creating a political, economic, social, and cultural environment that provides the widest possible range of options for dealing with problems and promoting liberty and well-being. The ultimate goal is to be free of any shackles of doctrine, platforming, tribalism, and gradually move out of a partisan model of government altogether. We want a society of free critical thinkers.

My view on Political Correctness and Social Justice

I am against them for a very simple reason: I want equality, freedom, diversity, inclusivity, and tolerance. The PC and SJ movements do not. They work against the very ideals that they claim to support.

Political Correctness means to take the concept of 'correctness', aka doing the right thing, and making it a political tool. Social Justice means taking the concept of 'justice', and making it a tool for tribal warfare. Correctness with a caveat is not true Correctness; and similarly, Justice with a caveat is not actual Justice.

Furthermore, these two concepts are both intrinsically racist and sexist - and I'm not even talking about them being racist and sexist against white people, even though you can make a compelling case for that, too. No, PC and SJ are racist and sexist against women and minorities. Both of these concepts work off of the view that a group of people, e.g. black people, are all the same, that they all feel the same, want the same, think the same, and are in the same position. Truth is, a "group" of people like black people is not a group of anything: it's just PEOPLE - these are individuals with their own thoughts, motives, desires, fears, strengths and weaknesses. Claiming to speak on their behalf as if that would be possible is inherently demeaning and absolutely, undeniably moronic.

And lastly, Western societies have been moving towards promoting and achieving equality, diversity, inclusivity and so on long before PC and SJ appeared. That, to me, is a pretty strong indicator that society as is was already doing the right thing. PC and SJ go against society as is. And if society was already moving in the right direction, and you want to divert it... well, then you're not going in the right direction, now, are you?
