I'm not a Liberal, a conservative, or a moderate. I am a minarchist, which means I want as little government interference as possible. I want a small federal government which deals with defence and foreign policy, and I want healthcare and education decided by provinces and counties. Also, tax should be decided by counties, and only VAT/sales tax should be charged, like in Dubai. No property or income tax, though I support making those taxes optional to pay for services provided by the government by people who use them. I believe in free markets.

I don't believe in welfare. I would like Ireland to copy Japan's approach to immigration. I want Ireland to double down an a neutral and independent foreign policy. I am against gun control. I support the death penalty for extreme crimes. Drugs should be decriminalised but certain drugs are dangerous so importing those particular drugs should stay illegal.

I don't like abortion being used as a form of contraception, but I also believe it is a personal decision. So I am fine with allowing it on request for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and in emergency cases up to viability, but I don't like that it's being celebrated in some woke circles. I fully support contraception though.

On family issues, I believe that a couple should not have to marry in order to obtain the rights of marriage. I support gay couples adopting children, but not singles. I think that adoption should be a last resort, with the child preferably going to the custody of relatives if the parents die or go to prison. I am against surrogacy and IVF for everybody. I also believe that parents and guardians should get final say on what their kids learn in schools.

On gay rights, I believe that sexual orientation should be included in nondiscrimination laws if these laws exist. I support gay people in the military and the police. I oppose affirmative action quotas. I support banning conversion therapy for minors who are gay or bisexual. I believe you should be allowed to donate blood regardles of orientation, as long as you've been monogamous or celibate for the past 12 months.

I have reservations about democracy, because a lot of people are either dumb or easily fooled by the media. So I am against universal suffrage. I believe you should vote only if you are over 25, are a citizen of your country and no other country, and you are not on welfare.

You are very conservative and more on the far right side, actually.

But I agree on voting age at over 25 Brain isn't fully mature till 25 of age

The far right wants centralized authoritarian leadership. They're also pro-welfare and against any protections for gay people. RedEyedWarrior sounds like a conservative-leaning libertarian to me, but definitely not far right.

You realize Kavanaugh and Gorsuch wrote the Bostock decision, right?

I'm not talking about Republicans vs Democrats or conservatives vs liberals, but about the ideology of fascism vs that of libertarianism. When I talk about the far right or the right wing, I'm talking about fascists.

Is a “fascist” anyone right of the Clintons to you?

No, and I have no idea why you assume that I think so. I'm not using "fascist" as an epithet; I described the ideology faithfully and without bias in my above comment.
