    Jar Jar Binks was the best part of the Prequel Trilogy. Those movies would be unwatchable without a bit of comedy.

    Religions that seek to dismantle secular democracies should be persecuted, otherwise we’re just ending up with a different take on “tolerating the intolerant”, and end up like the USA, Hungary, Poland, Russia, et cetera.

    Religious freedom should stop at wanting to dismantle secular democracy, just like we don’t allow murderous cults, we should also not allow anti-democratic ones.

    The purpose of an education is to learn how to think, not how to work.

    A lot of universities are being treated as training centers for the world of work - and this is not ok.

    I don’t believe in capitalism. I don’t think we should strive for endless economic growth. Sustainability and shared benefits and burdens are the way to go.

    Everything is fair in fiction. No matter how sensitive or dark a topic is, fictional settings are the only place where anything should be allowed.

    This does not mean that attacking/defaming people is ok, just that “I don’t like this” or “this is insensitive” should never be brought up against the existence of a work of fiction.

    I’m not sure if “most” people would disagree with that, but there are too many that believe that fiction should be ruled by (subjective) morale and laws, while I believe it should be the place where anything goes.

    hunting an fishing when a man needs to feed their family is is fine no matter where you are. A person has a right to survive and eat without being molested by the police and greedy judges… A person with no money is still a person.

    I will never be needlessly cruel or violent to a vulnerable individual. Most people do it at least three times a day.

    People don’t choose to be pedophiles. We shouldn’t hate them just for existing.

    People choose to abuse children, and that should be strongly punished and I think the majority agrees with me on that.

    But a non-offending pedophile is someone with a disability and should be treated as such.

    The sanctity of life. All life is sacred and must be treated as such. Even non-human animals, even plants. We should be working for a world where all living beings have their right to life respected and preserved.

    The death penalty should be used only for white collar crimes and violations of the public trust. These crimes have the greatest impact on society, and usually have the strongest evidence reducing the chances of a wrongful conviction.

    All drugs should be legal, but bodily autonomy is to high a purity test for everyone on planet earth.

    Admit it everyone, capitalists will not let us live in peace. At least let me get high to numb the pain of existence.
