im a socially conservative center-leftist. i hate the power of the state but deem it necessary to prevent a greater tyranny in society (ancap for example) and want the state to help people insofar as it enables them to help themselves but also believe in some level of economic freedom as necessary to keep society developing. i prefer when countries like the united states focus on their domestic issues instead of constantly waging wars overseas. also i dislike much of modern culture as it is ultimately destabilizing to non-state institutions such as family and community. i find that maintaining our freedoms is much more important than promises of safety and benevolence
