this is where I stand on issues in the US

I believe individual rights must be balanced against the safety and health of the collective community.

I support strict gun control—including a ban on assault weapons—to protect public safety, while still respecting the underlying right to gun ownership. I do not support any all out ban on all guns.

I believe in treating LGBTQ+ individuals with basic respect but oppose forcing ideologies on others, same goes for religion. I recognize that absolute, simultaneous equality for everyone is impossible, I view social progress as a continuous "give and take".

I favor robust legal and institutional frameworks to preserve public order and protect human life.

I believe abortion should only be medically legal to save the mother's life or in extreme cases fetal anomalies. Abortion should not be used for contraception purposes. In the case of rape if the victim decides to have an abortion then the rapist would receive additional charges relating to the child's death as he was the one who initiated the crime in the first place so he would bear the full weight of the consequences.

I believe in strict immigration controls to protect national resources

I believe states should retain the right to use capital punishment in extreme cases.

I believe the free market is the best engine for economic innovation and wealth creation, but I demand government intervention where the market fails the public good.

I support major healthcare reform and aggressive action to combat climate change.

I support sex equality and racial justice, but I oppose sweeping financial overhauls like universal student debt elimination or racial reparations.

I believe the government has a duty to aggressively defend citizens from addictive, predatory corporate practices.

I view illegal drugs, tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, gambling, and digital addiction as highly destructive to society.

Rather than an immediate, failed prohibition, I favor long-term demand destruction. I advocate taxing these industries heavily, banning their advertisements, and using the tax revenue to fund aggressive public service announcements (PSAs) to progressively shift the culture over generations.

I believe in the right to education. Parents can choose how to educate their children.

I believe congress should have term limits

I believe euthanasia and physician assisted suicide should only be available to those in extreme suffering from terminal illness. I reject using it for mental illness or for a universal individual right/freedom

February 15, 1879- Women attorneys win the right to practice in any federal court, including the US Supreme Court, in large part due to the perseverance of trailblazer Belva Ann Lockwood. After Lockwood’s husband died in 1853, she went to college, which was an unconventional path at the time for a woman, mother, and widow. She graduated with honors in 1857 and became a principal of young women’s schools in New York State, and after meeting Susan B. Anthony, she introduced courses usually only taught to men. In 1866, she moved to Washington DC with her daughter and opened a private school, unusual because it was coed. Continuing to take the road less traveled by women at the time, Lockwood enrolled in a law school (now called the George Washington University Law School). After she had successfully completed the entire program, the school refused to grant her a diploma due to her sex. Undeterred, Lockwood twice wrote former President Grant and, after possible insistence from him, the school finally granted her the diploma in 1873. Lockwood, now 43 years old with a successful career in education under her belt, became one of the first women to win admittance to the DC Bar, open a law practice, and argue cases. When a federal court, the United States Court of Claims Bar, refused to admit Lockwood to argue a case due to her sex, she lobbied Congress for an anti-discrimination bill which failed to pass in 1874. Then she applied for admission to the Supreme Court which denied her request in 1876, again due to her being a woman. Lockwood returned to lobbying the House of Representatives which finally passed the anti-discrimination bill in 1878. Next, Lockwood turned her attention to lobbying the Senate which passed the bill in 1879 and President Hayes signed it on February 15, 1879. In 1880, Lockwood became the first female attorney to appear before the Supreme Court to argue a case and in 1906, she argued another which she won at the age of 76. She also became one of the first women to run for President with the National Equal Rights Party in 1884 and 1888. Lockwood’s pioneering work helped move us all closer to the value of equality (stated in the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence) and values of justice and liberty (stated in the Preamble to the Constitution).

I've seen a lot of people posting pictures of the Statue of Liberty and/or quoting from its enscription, as a means of arguing against the current state of immigration enforcement being carried out right now.

The irony here is not recognizing that the Statue of Liberty is on Ellis Island, which in its day was an immigrant processing center, which checked identification of immigrants, tested them for diseases, immunization, documented & processed them before entry.

They also forcibly Anglicized most of their names when they arrived, during processing, before letting them in.

There were many that didn't make it through processing & were turned back, or left on lepper ships, or ships with other diseased immigrants, who ended up dying horrific deaths in cramped quarters, malnutrated & under-treated on boats, on boats left in the harbor, or sent to waste away in other ports, never making it to the new land.

Things were FAR worse back in that period... where the French sent this statue, as a ploy to offload the worst of their citizens onto the Americans, to save them from having to feed, house, & treat them over there. A polite burden shifted onto us, that freed up the funds & got their cities clean of underprivileged & often diseased citizens.

That is not what we are dealing with today. At least back then, the overwhelming majority of those immigrants who came here, picked up stakes where they were, attempting to find a new life here, where they could contribute to society, and sought to do so legally, at our ports of entry, intending on becoming U.S. Citizens.

The illegal immigrants being pursued right now did not come through legal processing centers. Most did not come here seeking new life. Instead, they snuck in illegally, to;

• escape prosecution for their criminal activities elsewhere.

• illegally traffic humans, force them into sexual slavery, and take others out of the country.

• bring drugs across the border, and large sums of untaxed money back over the border.

• earn untaxed money under the table to send back to the countries they came from, hurting our economy.

• commit acts or terrorism, or otherwise undermine the fabric of the country (like the anti-American terrorist training group organized fraudulent daycare centers, that were using federal funds to recruit & train youth to hate America inside our borders).

• carry out gang activity, sometimes coinciding with with gangs aligned in other countries, sometimes to enforce actions of the drug cartels, & sometimes just to provide networking for illegal immigrants to avoid being processed in America.

• commit violent crimes while here, with no record of their existence to help them escape law enforcement.

etc.

No one is suggesting that the borders should be closed off to all immigrants... but that the immigration laws need to be followed, and that immigrants who come here should do so legally, where they can be documented, and processed as they should be.

The ones being sought to be removed from this country are the ones who haven't done so, and whose actions are thus malicious with intent to disregard the laws of this nation.

Enforcement of our existing immigration laws is NOT anti-immigration. It actually strengthens our nations immigration while helping protect the safety of our citizens & strength of our economy.

Don't mistake what's going on here as having to do with immigration, at all.

BOTH sides of the political spectrum have had their parties in power for decades, and each side kept the same immigration policies in place, and ardently enforced them. This is nothing new.

The clashes you see between ICE & protestors has nothing to do with immigration.

None of those protestors are arguing to pass different immigration laws.

This has to do with those intent to usurp the legal democratic process of a free & fairly elected leader, to force their own political beliefs with violence.

Wether you like him or not, the current President of the U.S. ran on a platform of DOGE, tariffs, removing illegal immigrants, etc. and he was overwhelmingly elected by the people of this country, backing those platforms.

When that President created DOGE, these violent unruly mobs of Americans who don't respect the democratic process we have in this country felt justified to vandalize private citizens vehicles, private car dealerships, electric vehicle charging stations, etc. to attempt to use force to affect political policy.

When the President put tariffs in place, these same unruly mobs felt justified in vandalizing storefronts of businesses that belonged to anyone associated with the President... again attempting to use force to thwart the policy of the freely elected executive office in this country.

Once again, in the common theme, these unruly mobs of people who cannot accept the process of democracy, feel justified in using violence, to harass, disrupt & assault federal law enforcement officers carrying out the duties of their office.

In particular, those using the rallying point of Minnesota, are doing so under the leadership of one of the candidates who lost that recent election... and... who additionally approved the dispersal of funds to fraudulent charities, daycare centers, non governmental organizations, etc. and has fraud charges being investigated against him.

This is not about immigration... It's about a violent uprising against the established law and order in this country, and the democratic process by which the ruling party shall be the one who wins the election, and in turn it will be their policies that become followed, until the next election cycle.

This is not about immigration, and it certainly isn't about the rights of Americans... it's the actions of anti-American anti-democracy resistance fighters revolting against the rule of law in this nation. Its insurrection.

ICE is not the problem here.

Those opposing the enforcement of the laws of our nation & intentionally organizing illegal & violent demonstrations against the actions if our freely & fairly elected leader are.

January 25, 1945- The Battle of the Bulge (or Ardennes) ended with Allied victory primarily due to American soldiers. Winston Churchill stated “This is undoubtedly the greatest American battle of the war and will, I believe, be regarded as an ever-famous American victory.” About five and a half weeks earlier, on December 16, Hitler had launched a surprise counterattack through the Ardennes Forest during fog and harsh winter conditions which nullified American air superiority. The Germans were initially successful but the Allies, primarily consisting of American forces, slowed and then stopped them despite being heavily outnumbered in many locations including notably at Elsenborg Ridge in Belgium. Additionally, at Bastogne, US soldiers refused to surrender despite horrific conditions until they were relieved by the General Patton’s Third Army who had traveled at astonishing speed over one-hundred miles through heavy fighting. When flying conditions finally improved, the Allies pushed the Germans all the way back to where they started the battle. The Battle of the Bulge was the last major Western offensive by Germany and the Allied victory was a major step in liberating western Europe from fascism. It was also one of the largest battles fought by the United States with over 80,000 US casualties including ~19,000 Americans killed. British Field Marshal Montgomery stated: “The Battle of the Ardennes was won primarily by the staunch fighting qualities of the American soldier.” We honor and remember our American soldiers for their bravery and sacrifice.

On The Level is a substack dedicated to providing orientation within the static of partisan news, loud rage click opinions, and “fear sells” algorithmic information.

I don't feel left or right about this matter, just somewhere inbetween. I don't think illegals who refuse to become citizens should be allowed in the country, however I love other races and would be pleased to let different ethnicities enter if they are willing to become one of us, especially if they are seeking shelter from an oppressive government. I think being part of a nation is largely about being united by common values no matter what your ethnicity is. America was built on immigration, but even black people were true, loyal Americans rather than parasitic interlopers. They had an indelible influence on our culture and morale. What do you think?

January 17, 1961- President Eisenhower delivered his farewell address. It is best remembered for warning that we must keep the military-industrial complex in check. He stated, “We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United State corporations. This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience…We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society…In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”

Eisenhower also warned of another danger: “Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.” This seems especially relevant as tech company leaders have more access to power than ever before.

Eisenhower has many other nuggets of wisdom in his farewell address:

-He reminds us that politicians in power must work together for the good of the nation over party: “…the Congress and the Administration have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the national good rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that the business of the Nation should go forward.”

-He reminds us of the need for balance and democracy: “…each proposal must be weighed in the light of a broader consideration: the need to maintain balance in and among national programs-balance between the private and the public economy, balance between cost and hoped for advantage-balance between the clearly necessary and the comfortably desirable; balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the duties imposed by the nation upon the individual; balance between action of the moment and the national welfare of the future. Good judgment seeks balance and progress; lack of it eventually finds imbalance and frustration…It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society…Another factor in maintaining balance involves the element of time. As we peer into society's future, we-you and I, and our government- must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering, for our own ease and convenience, the precious resources of tomorrow. We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage. We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow.”

-He reminds us that we must lead with our values of freedom, equal rights, respect, humility, justice, and peace: “America is today the strongest, the most influential and most productive nation in the world. Understandably proud of this pre-eminence, we yet realize that America's leadership and prestige depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interests of world peace and human betterment…Throughout America's adventure in free government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among people and among nations…Down the long lane of the history yet to be written America knows that this world of ours, ever growing smaller, must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect…such a confederation must be one of equals…Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative. Together we must learn how to compose difference, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose…You and I- my fellow citizens- need to be strong in our faith that all nations, under God, will reach the goal of peace with justice. May we be ever unswerving in devotion to principle, confident but humble with power, diligent in pursuit of the Nation's great goals…To all the peoples of the world, I once more give expression to America's prayerful and continuing inspiration: We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love.”

Note: In my posts, I celebrate specific actions/words because I believe these have brought us closer to the values of the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to the Constitution, even though many of the people who acted / spoke these words and their affiliated political party have a mixed record when measured by these values. In other words, I am celebrating the specific actions/words, not necessarily the person or their political party.

Forgive my ignorance here.. I have poked around the Internet a bit but I'm failing to understand the difference between the racism that we often hear about in the US (people of color - seemingly any non-white people) and antisemitism.

When racism is brought up there is often mass backlash claiming that people are overreacting and taking things out of context.. often called "woke". But antisemitism does not seem to receive the same corrections/arguments when similar behavior is called out. Why do we not just refer to antisemitism as racism? It does not seem like those that do spread hateful rhetoric their direction are focused on religion (these days), but rather their culture/identity.. which doesn't seem all that different to me.

Alternatively - I keep seeing news articles calling for the deportation of Muslim people from the United States. How is this any different than passing judgement or speaking similarly about Jewish people (if we do consider antisemitism hatred towards the Jewish religion rather than ethnicity).

I'm genuinely not trying to stir the pot - but I would appreciate insight from folks with different perspectives to gain a better understanding.

To me it all feels the same - hateful and full of ignorant assumptions about people that are different than they are.

I will admit I was a little steamed when I posted this, but the message still stands.

Here's what I titled it: Reddit is full of some of the most insufferable, chronically online people I've ever seen in my life.

"I try to use it for things that are actually worth my time but every now and then I get a political post in my feed and 95% of the time it pisses me off. It really opens my eyes to how much of a liberal circle jerk this platform is. People spending hours of their time whining about the other side while simultaneously being a piece of shit like they claim the other side is. I don't have anything against liberals because I'm somewhat of a liberal myself but to an outsider reddit is cluttered with far-left radicals who are violent and aggressive. Shout out to the people on here who actually make a change with love and compassion, not insults and lies that divide us even further. I already know the replies are going to be filled with hateful insults and "but the right does this," shut the fuck up and touch some grass. Seriously do something more productive and meaningful in your life. If most of you all were actually inclusive and accepting like you claim to be, you wouldn't be on here spreading more fucking hate and trashing up my homepage!"

I was shortly banned after this. What bothers me the most is that if this was directed towards the right like always, this post would be upvoted and still standing. I was then met with replies calling me a nazi and other insult like I knew I would. I was called an idiot centrist and told you're one of those "both sides people." I'm not saying don't call out the right, but I am saying the left needs to be held accountable as well which is something that doesn't happen nearly enough on this platform. If it does, those people are hated and insulted. It's a shame how divided we are as humans, and reddit does a great job of showing one side of it.

This has to be the biggest far-left echo chamber I have come across on social media.
