I've seen lots of DPR quotes floating around on tumblr and other sites, and they're all refer to him as a 'radical libertarian' and it kind of got me wondering whether most of the users on the site were also libertarians, or leaned that way.
I'm not myself, (left-leaning, a bit conservative fiscally) what about everyone else?
I know it would be bad form to start a thread like 'what state do you live in?' But maybe people feel comfortable enough to talk about how they lean politically. I think it's possible to get an idea of the ideological breakup of SR users without asking for any identifying info.
Sorry I didn't cover them all or really go along a spectrum, I know there's some overlap
-
I'm more conservative then anything else I guess, I like Rand Paul and Chris Christie for the most part.
I hate Liberals.
I like drugs, but I dislike homos, as well.
-
been thinking about making this this poll for a while. Will keep an eye on this thread.

Silk Road turned me into a Libertarian. I know this because Rand Paul is starting to make sense to me and I don't watch mainstream media anymore.
ME LOVE SOME REV. AL SHARPTON, BROTHA.

honestly, this just makes me curious about what you buy. I wonder if there is a correlation between using certain drugs and political leanings. Maybe people who do a lot MDMA are more likely to not give a shit or libertarians buy better quality pot. What's a 'communist drug'

DPR has made me into a Libertarian leaning Anarchist. I voted for Gary Johnson last year and will probably vote the same way next time. I'm not a fan of rand paul, I've nothing specific against him or his public opinions but he's way too popular for my liking. Anyone who has that much clout in today's politics can't be a good person.

Fuck Rand Paul.
Ron Paul is alright except for being foolish enough to believe that change will come via the current political system.
If I remember correctly didn't DPR win the 2012 SR Presidential Election?

"We should live like hunter gatherers," he typed out on the forum of the website he used to purchase drugs.
He paused to finalize an order, reply to a text on his iPhone, check the value of the digital currency he used for illegal purchases and then turned back to his laptop. "Fuck modernity."

Yes, I was born into an evil system. Just as people living in China are born into communism.

Liberal all the way.

Incidentally, the only technological object I use is my computer which connects to the internet through public wifi connection. I use it ONLY for silkroad purchases, and only because the modern world is so corrpt that I cannot obtain my sacred substances except by this means. I have no TV, no phone, no electricity, etc. 99% of my time is spent in nature - without technology.
It's not my fault I was born into the evil technological system.

What the Unabomber did was reprehensible. And he was wrong: Killing people to bring attention to his ideas ended up making most people lock up his ideas, along with him. They became unmentionable, for politically correct folks. Well, I would rather be correct, than politically correct. And it is time for people to read "Industrial Society and its Future", by convicted serial killer Ted Kaczynski. His work, despite his deeds, deserves a place alongside Brave New World,by Aldous Huxley, and 1984?by George Orwell.

All your time is spent in nature doing amphetamines at parties? lol you're not even remotely convincing. The 'evil technological system' bit went too far.

I don't go to parties, cretin. I did in the past, but I haven't had a social life in over two years.
You're just hooked on technology. You can't stand any criticism of your stupid gadgets. You're an addict. It's sad, really. You are a total slave to the system. You imagine that you are in control o technology, but it's using you for its own ends, independent of the human historical process. You are being acted upon by the system, not the other way around.
Yes, it is evil. I know that word isn't popular any more. You're a conformist to the system, it is a matter-oriented system of which anti-metaphysical materialism is the ideological superstructure. Thus you have no use for metaphysical concepts. Nonetheless, evil really exists, and it is embodied in the system in which we now live.

I actually did fall asleep. It was 5am here. He and I aren't debating anything. He's sharing his opinion (and pretending he lives without electricity) He isn't a particularly novel brand of troll, even though he may seem unique and awe-inspiring to you (hence your enthusiastic suckling of his left testicle). I've done the back and forth thing with his type plenty of times before but I'm not really interested in doing it now.
But thanks for the obligatory 'listen up, newbie, this is how things work on this here corner of the Internet' warning. I feel officially welcomed.

That's such an abstract thing to say, how do you even define a concept like evil? How can you say he is being acted upon by the system? None of that really makes logical sense, are you suggesting he isn't really free?
I love gadgets, I absolutely fucking love them. Give me an xbox and some games, a cool TV show, the latest iphone, a car that goes fast, a jetski or a boat and I am happy. I might be addicted in the sense that I can't live without them but I use machines to achieve my needs and give me experiences that I enjoy. I won't die wishing I spent more time in nature. I like nature, don't get me wrong, but fuck walking around in the bush with no technology I'd rather be on a high-powered watercraft cruising along the ocean with the warm sun in my face, drinking beer and eating processed foods than living in some hunter-gather bullshit where I have to get up every day and exert myself physically just to get by.
Are you suggesting i'm a slave to the system, that i'm not really free, that i'm just conforming? What makes your lifestyle superior in any way whatsoever?

Left testicle, is that what you enjoy? sucking balls, why would that be on your mind? yes you are a little green around the gills, that is evident with your letting people know you're online, that and the fact you think you can randomly troll people, and that silly silly avatar, come on for fucks sake, this place is going rapidly downhill.

I'm sort of left of center , I was previously a political animal, and have seen action in the Jamaican PNP, and JLP parties. It changes a man seeing such atrocities.

*losing the will to live* titoprince, what a complete wanker you are, this place is no longer the vibrant site with intelligent people debating all manner of things. No we now have newb dickwads come here with fluffy kitten avatars, they then fall asleep, and accuse members they no nothing about of sucking balls, I will destroy your fucking ass, you hear me dick features? I will fuck you up so bad, you will hang your pathetic body, Slag fuck off.
And what of people's political yearnings, what on gods green earth has that to do with you wanker? You cheeky cocksucking faggott, don't ever start a thread without asking me first, undermotherfucking-stood. Little faggotts are starting to wind me up, your either L/E or some clandestine rat/worm/mole, been sent to embroil people in illegal acts, now tell me fluffy kitten avatar, what drugs have you fucking done???
Not sure if this is roid rage or performance art but it's definitely funny and also somewhat lyrical. The last line is great.

Well you've proved you have a sense of humor and you're impervious to trolling, welcome aboard! There are only a handful of members like me, basically inadequate, and constantly trying to prove my masculinity, really I'm jealous of secure people who have got intelligent things to say, and decent threads. Ignore me my friend.

What's the difference between a libertarian and an anarcho-capitalist/Voluntaryist?
6 months to a year.
BTW, Randroids are anarcho-capitaists but don't realize it.

God damn I hate Ayn Rand and never could finish Atlas Shrugged.
I'll drink to that shit. vacuous tautologies on vacuous tautologies on vacuous tautologies like shut your whore mouth Ayn

I'm a ninja pirate just like DPR.
Nieder mit der Drogenpolitik der CDU.
Voted "other" because i cannot really identify with any of the parties here in Germany. Gonna vote Piraten, or some shit like the Tierschutzpartei, just as a microscopic counter to a CDU vote. Pirates could yield 3% (5+% needed) i read somewhere, so i guess my votes goes there.

The last three options

don't vote

if you are going to do this, you should really give more listings.. it kinda makes the outcome skewed like those lame CNN polls
I mean, what if we are all Fascists !!!! XD
j/k but it is eye opening to go back and look at all the flavors of parties back 200 years in the USA when people where more involved... now they just put a couple shitty burgers and chicken sandwiches on the McPolitic menu and say CHOOSE FOOOL
-
Oh wait, I actually didn't realize I could add more options, I thought six was the limit.

I am liberal as hell....I love Rachel Maddow...can't stand the lying mean spirited christian fucking war mongers at FoxNew. I voted for Obama twice(pissed at him now...going after MMJ dispensaries...surveillance on the US citizens). I do love Silk Road...peace to all SRoadies! ;D

Truth is a tautology. But, there is no truth, right?
I don't know what's worse, people criticizing Rand because she didn't believe in God, or because she didn't understand "human nature". But then again, Rand's criticisms of other philosophers weren't exactly, how should i say, informed?

Obama has done nothing for me, I feel the same.
I also watch Rachel Maddow, but only when I got 2 poop.

honestly, this just makes me curious about what you buy. I wonder if there is a correlation between using certain drugs and political leanings. Maybe people who do a lot MDMA are more likely to not give a shit or libertarians buy better quality pot. What's a 'communist drug'
The only study i've ever ran across dealing with this correlation, and I'd be hardpressed to actually find a link to it at this late hour, was one looking at heavily conservative and heavily liberal areas of the US and the most common drug involved during arrests. In areas that were more conservative, the top drug was meth. For areas that were more liberal, the top drug was marijuana.
-
If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain.

Anti-political.
We should live like hunter gatherers. Fuck modernity.
All political ideologies are scams.
There is no perfect system to be born into, but I know I'd rather live in a world with antibiotics and sewerage systems. Trying to improve the world is something that helps give us individuals a purpose.
Plus, in caveman days they used to beat the shit out of each other with clubs and women were probably raped all the time. Not saying this doesn't still happen nowadays, just that it happens less often and I'd prefer bullets and lethal injections to getting clubbed to death by a blunt object.

Seriously, grouping anarchists and "don't care" together? Even anarchism has several very different philosophies within it. Voluntaryists can be considered both anarchist and libertarian.
Not sure why there's so much hate for Ayn Rand... I've read Atlas Shrugged (actually audiobook, I can't read books that fucking long) and Fountainhead (didn't care much for this one), and actually enjoyed Atlas Shrugged. I sometimes wonder if the people who criticize Atlas Shrugged haven't even read the whole book. Is she right about everything in the book? Of course not, but what author ever is? Maybe I just interpreted it differently from other people. People rip on her "don't help the weak" stuff but I interpreted her writing to assert "help people because you enjoy it, not because someone has guilted you into it".
Her biggest flaw in AS / Objectivism is that she states that the government should only exist to protect people's rights, but doesn't see the glaring hole in their logic that government is funded by taxes which are coercive / involuntary and theft. Having someone or something violate property rights to protect rights is a pretty fucking obvious contradiction. And I also don't know how I feel about her writings on the topic of romance... I think she was a masochist or something.
Voluntaryists have a joke: what's the difference between a libertarian and a voluntaryist? Two years.
Government is just a big gang.

Voluntaryist/Anarchist/Agorist/Mutualist reporting in.

I only have sex when I'm coked out.....
That's the most Conservative thing you've said so far, more so than your dislike of 'homos' and 'liberals'.
It's too bad that coke is backed by a militarist neo-conservative industry which preys on the people's fear of their own government.
Personally, I'm conservative on foreign affairs, meaning non-interventionist, and on most fiscal issues, although over-all I am an anarcho-socialist. This is because I believe the system is so fucked, that the next one will be so much better, that we won't need another, so it would be good to nationalize some vital industries, and I think public access to infrastructure like healthcare and eduction should be guaranteed. Don't think I'm on the same side as Obama, he's a turncoat who half-steps everything, I mean, the guy couldn't even hang with a bunch of stoners and get high without making all kinds of rules and forcing himself upon them as their "leader." If I had my way, no US soldier would set foot in another country, unless an impending genocide was about to happen. That is real conservativism right there, along with protecting our natural resources.
-
I wonder whether separating out the poll results of vendors and buyers would show a significant difference in political affiliations?
I'd rather stick my dick in a cage with a badger than read Atlas Shrugged.
Whereas the badger might prefer to read Atlas Shrugged rather than have you stick your dick in its cage.

This doesn't usually fit with people as open minded bout drugs as we are but I lean heavily towards the Conservative side o things . Withy that said, I don't trust any pols , left or right . With all the anti corporate bullshit spewed by Barry Obama, he's just as much bought and paid for as any other pol.....left or right.

I am an agorist anarchist but voted libertarian since you for some reason decided to merge anarchist with everything and nothing else other than liberal and conservative, thereby making the result for anarchist completely fucking useless.

Objectivists are not anarchists because they think there should be a centralized government. Objectivists are libertarians with an intricate philosophy, anarchists are libertarians in favor of extreme decentralization of power. Liberals on the other hand are communists and socialists, but don't realize it.

Krokodil is a communist drug.
That's the synthetic heroin which is popular in Russia?
Made from codeine and petrol ad a couple of other things?
And then they inject that shit. This is what happens when drugs are made illegal. People just find something else to get them high, but with far more damage potential.
