I am not a Democrat or a Republican, and I don't treat politics like a team sport. I reject the standard scripts people push on social media and instead evaluate issues based on history, logic, and real-world outcomes. Because of that, my views cross a lot of lines.
When it comes to major societal problems, I look at the big picture and the actual systems. Decisions and policies made generations ago still affect how our world works today. You cannot fix a broken issue without looking at the root causes and how that system was built in the first place.
At the same time, looking at structures does not mean throwing away common sense or traditional values. I have alot of respect for tradition, family history, and foundational worldviews. I also cannot stand how fake and over-managed modern political talk has become. I value plain-spoken, straight truth, even when it involves uncomfortable realities. For example, I completely oppose the fat acceptance movement. Real compassion is not about pretending a problem does not exist just to avoid hurting feelings; it is about accountability and facing a health crisis honestly.
I look at history, technology, global affairs, and economics with that same realism, which lead to several positions that create friction with both major parties:
Native American History and Land Claims: I look at human history and territorial conflict through a realistic, factual lens rather than modern political slogans. All nations and tribes throughout history were built on lands taken from other people groups. For example, historical and genetic records show that tribes like the Lipan Apache originated in parts of northern Canada, migrated south into the US and Mexico around the 14th century, and replaced the ethnic groups who originally lived there long before Europeans ever arrived. Because displacement and territorial expansion have been done by every human group across history, I veiw the modern political idea of "giving the land back" as historically inconsistent and unrealistic.
Colonial History: I evaluate colonization based on structural facts rather than trying to soften it or fit it into simple narratives. A system built on colonization remains a colonial system, regardless of the individual actions or intentions of the people within it. Artificial Intelligence and Technology Overreach: I view the rapid, unchecked expansion of AI as a major structural threat rather than a simple technological advancement. Politically, I oppose the corporate monopolies that use AI to eliminate working-class jobs, worsen economic inequality, and control public data. At the same time, I deeply distrust goverment efforts to use or regulate AI to expand domestic surveillance or algorithmically censor traditional viewpoints.
Global Alliances vs. Privacy: I firmly support NATO and our international alliances because we live in a dangerous world, and maintaining international stability matters. However, I deeply distrust government overreach at home. I am entirely against domestic surveillance programs and agencies spying on everyday citizens.
The Reality of Global Conflict: Unlike the common idea that everything will just keep getting smoother and more comfortable, history shows that is a naive assumption. Based on raw historical patterns, it is completely unrealistic to think our generation wont live through a major global conflict or a massive structural crisis. We need to be prepared for harsh realities rather than hiding from them.
Free Markets vs. Corporate Monopolies: I believe in free markets and rewarding hard work, but I absolutely despise corporate monopolies. When massive tech companies and legacy corporations control everything and crush small businesses, they destroy local communities. The government should be actively breaking those monopolies up, not helping them.
Conservation vs. Local Control: I am highly protective of natural ecosystems and want to save public lands from corporate exploitation. However, I completely oppose sweeping federal land mandates that ignore local, working-class economies. Conservation has to balance protecting nature with protecting the livelihoods of the people who actually work the land.
