I'm at a loss, so I'll just explain why all are annoying.

Liberals - tend to be really whiny and wishy-washy, appealing to emotion and concepts like "fairness" and "equality" over proportionality and justice. They seem to completely lack a sense of scale as a result, and have no idea how to properly construct a liberal value-system in relation to rampant dogmatism.

Socialists - socialism is inevitable and I look forward to it (I think I'll see it at least begin in my lifetime). The problem with people who readily identify as socialists is that they're either I) revolutionaries who want to force class conflict or II) centre-right social democrats who aren't really socialists. So they're either idiots or liars.

Feminists - anybody in the Western world who identifies as a feminist has priority issues.

Libertarians/anarchists - retarded appeals to deontic morality like "taxation is theft" and other such bollocks. An absolute hard-on for the free-market and an inability to concede that the unaccountable corporation can be a nightmare in a situation where the State isn't properly equipped.

Conspiracists/doomsdayers - just fracking dumb. Greatest examples of confirmation bias.

Conservatives - usually the vocal ones are social conservatives and they appeal to tired old notions of family values and anti-abortion sentiments; inexorably linked to religion. Absolutely have no appreciation for more abstract and diffuse notions like civic nationalism, parochial loyalty and preservation of order, thus turning conservatism into an ideology instead of a philosophy and dogmatising it.

Religious people - liars, charlatans or people who don't understand science on the whole. Liars because they can't know if God exists, even as some claim; charlatans due to faith-healers, hoaxers and tricksters; scientifically illiterate because the vocal ones think scripture and Thomas Aquinas's bollocks have any intellectual authority.

Homophobes/Islamaphobes - while I take issue with the use of the latter word, bigotry is simply a social cancer; no explanation needed.

Feminazis should be lumped in with the Bible Thumpers, IMO. Both extremely vocal minority groups simply breed hated, fuel conflict, and seek to devolve society.

Vocal doomsayers and conspiracy theorists are entertaining.

But taxation IS theft.

Deontic morality is a joke. If you can empirically show me that no taxation would be consequentially superior to the current paradigm then fair enough, but until then taxation remains justified.

And what's wrong with a free-market?

Nothing, the market is actually quite amazing. The point is people who hold it up as an end in itself are stupid. (Again, deontic morality). If the market was consequentially devastating, nobody could seriously advocate it.

The State is the reason it's a mess right now by stifling competition which prevents any real advances. (this only applies to an informed society)

I don't disagree.

FUcking lol, did you mix the feminazis with libs on purpose?

ook right before 1913.

I'm talking about taxation in general, not just income tax. I'm not a massive fan of income tax, and I think taxes on property and consumption are superior. That being said, I think certain taxes - like transaction, inheritance and corporate income - should be eliminated first.

On the whole, however, I agree that rampant taxation can lead to horrible expenditure problems. Accordingly, I'd probably support any lowering the general tax rate and a relatively strict adherence to no government borrowing.

However, I don't think much of this will be accomplished since the trend of both social and political change runs behind technological change. Human labour will probably be made obsolete and the problem now will be a non-issue, so this is really just a hypothetical exercise for me.

 any/all extreme stances are fucking annoying.

I personally don't see Socialism being inevitable.. I am seeing an economic collapse and society will realize greed and the desire for more money is what brought the destruction.. And hopefully from a few brilliant minds, we execute project Venus and evolve past the need for a currency system.

Over the next few decades, 45% of jobs are high-risk for automation.

Human labour will be made redundant, and private property will cease to be an efficient resource director.

The Venus Project, by the way, is a load of shit.

SJW and hardcore liberals are legitimately annoying, but from my perspective it's the hardcore conservative jingos that are actively trying to fuck the country right up the bumhole.
