Politics thread eh... Normally I would post here, but I'd rather not go into detail about my political views. I will say that I oppose both the democratic and republican party.

My views are best defined as anarcho-syndicalist, which could also be referred to as libertarian communism. In short, I'm against the concept of the wage system and the capitalist ownership of the means of production.

Amaterasu,

Your political views are you founded Japan, your grandson was the first Emperor, Jimmu, you gave the people rice and silk to feed and clothe themselves, and the current Emperor is your direct descendent.

This political philosophy is called kokutai, and traditionally, you created it. :awesome:

...this is my academic area of expertise, so excuse me being silly.

Tangentially related: This lecture proposes a fundamental difference between how liberals and conservatives frame moral decisions:

Gotta get past the shitty intro, though.

This possibly? Just my guess based upon the context between that and this this one.

I dunno, i just watched the trailer for that documentary. It looks like a good documentary, but it also appears to be about a failing education system. however AFAIK the republicans are the ones that typically cut education funding, and generally harm the education system.
