I need new places to meditate (Im spiritualist and believe in Mother Earth.) but I don’t feel safe in our preserve anymore. Unfortunately because I’m mixed blood I attract many bad things and I believe a yee naaldl**shii has been toying with me. What are you guys favorite out door places to relax? I need a new spot so I can get back to clearing my mind dog.
I understand that some people have religious, cultural, or personal objections to same-sex marriage. However, in a free society, the government should have a strong reason before restricting the rights of consenting adults.
While people are entitled to their beliefs, those beliefs should not automatically determine what rights others can have. Homosexuality has been observed throughout nature and across human history, showing that it is not a new or unnatural phenomenon.
You do not have to personally support same-sex relationships, but disagreeing with something does not justify denying others the freedom to live their lives peacefully and pursue happiness in a way that does not harm others.
Public policy should be guided by evidence, medical research, and the well-being of those affected. Concerns and questions should be discussed respectfully, but transgender people should not be treated with hostility or discrimination simply because they are different.
When discussing treatment options for gender dysphoria, the focus should be on what medical evidence shows produces the best outcomes, while also recognizing that reasonable people can disagree about how those treatments should be applied.
I have mixed feelings about abortion because I understand why many people view a fetus as deserving moral consideration. However, I also believe the issue is more complicated than simply saying abortion is always right or always wrong.
There are situations involving rape, severe fetal abnormalities, risks to the mother’s health, underage pregnancy, or extreme financial hardship that create difficult moral and practical questions.
While protecting potential life is an important goal, laws should also consider the health, safety, autonomy, and circumstances of the pregnant person. A balanced approach should recognize both concerns rather than ignoring either side.
I believe a country has the right to secure its borders and enforce its laws. Immigration systems should be organized, fair, and capable of identifying individuals who pose genuine security threats.
At the same time, immigrants who work, contribute to society, avoid crime, and seek a better life should be treated with dignity. Many immigrants strengthen communities through their labor, culture, and economic contributions.
Rather than focusing solely on punishment, immigration policy should include realistic pathways for law-abiding people to earn legal status while maintaining border security.
I believe welfare programs can be beneficial when they are designed to help people become financially stable rather than remain dependent on assistance indefinitely.
People facing poverty, disability, unemployment, or unexpected hardship often need temporary support. A strong welfare system can provide opportunities for education, job training, healthcare, and basic necessities that help people improve their circumstances.
At the same time, programs should be managed responsibly and funded in a way that balances support for vulnerable citizens with economic growth and sustainability.
“Liberalism will lead to fascism” : Fascism historically arose in opposition to liberal democracy and socialism. While it borrowed ideas from various movements, it is generally not considered a form of liberalism because liberalism emphasizes individual rights, political equality, constitutional limits on power, and democratic governance. So logically it wouldn’t make sense to arise from liberalism.
“Liberalism will lead to authoritarianism” : While this isn’t inherently wrong it’s not likely. What’s more likely is a form of government over-reach. Unfortunately since liberalism is focused on solutions to social problems our solutions may raise small problems that end up needing fixed in the future leading to an over complex hard to maintain system. But as a liberal it’s our up most top priority to not allow a bad path again. We are determined to improve.
If I mused anything please let me know but tell me your opinions both left and right in the comments.
Happy pride month happy mental health month and happy whatever else I might be missing! Don’t take me wrong Ive been shamed a lot for saying happy pride but Just remember to those who believe military doesn’t get enough last month was military appreciation month hence why Memorial Day is in May. My grand dad who passed three months ago was an air Bourne ranger! 81st airborne and he was awesome!!! Please tell me your pride or military family stories. My favorite my grand dad told me was he accidentally got dropped in the ocean because coordinates got messed up.
I’ve been trying to keep my head up lately and ignore the political noise and focus on good stuff like pride month Memorial Day and other great things but it’s getting harder. As much as I see the world fighting for our environment I know it’s not enough, I live in Florida and I feel the effects the most besides Texas. It’s getting so hot i don’t even want to go for a short run or walk. On top of that my relationship with my girlfriend might not be able to be as fun because of the abortion ban. Heck they want to ban birth control! Thats just horrible. My anxiety of having a kid young by accident is too severe to trust a layer of plastic. And on top of that Im starting to not feel safe being myself anymore. My parents support and love me yes but out in public no one can protect me. What’s my black belt in taekwondo and wrestling training gonna realistically do against an angry red neck who hates me and pulls a gun. Lastly job hunting is miserable. It feels like nobody is hiring and Im barely making enough doing yard work babysitting and art. If anyone knows things that might help please share. Im not in a suicide risk or anything Im just loosing hope. If it helps Im spiritualist and believe in Aztec gods cause they’re nice.
