No true Scotsman allows public infrastructure to decay, corporations to trample people's lives, capitalism to run unchecked, "states rights" to overturn Roe v Wade.

Airway, back to the original point: conservatives are stupid because they think that seeing gay men kissing turns children and teenagers gay.

No true Scotsman allows public infrastructure to decay, corporations to trample people's lives, capitalism to run unchecked, "states rights" to overturn Roe v Wade.

And that's why I'm best described as Limitarian Constitutional Liberalism (LCL) : a rights-first, small-state constitutional approach that strongly enforces individual liberties and rule of law while limiting extreme wealth and power concentration through limitarian constraints.

As overturning Roe v Wade is strictly against the core values.

Overturning Roe v. Wade is against the core values in at least these specific ways:

  1. Due process / legal certainty
  • It removed a long-established constitutional framework for the right to abortion, replacing it with a patchwork of state rules.
  • That undermines predictability and procedural fairness about a fundamental, time-sensitive liberty interest.
  1. Privacy / bodily autonomy as an enforceable constraint
  • The decision narrowed or rejected the Court’s previous constitutional protection for privacy in making intimate decisions.
  • For people seeking abortion, that means the state (and private actors via enforcement mechanisms) can intervene more directly in deeply personal medical choices.
  1. Protection from coercion
  • When abortion access is restricted or criminalized, people face legal risk in order to control their own reproductive choices.
  • That is coercion by threat of prosecution and related penalties, especially in situations where time and access constraints are already severe.
  1. Rights-first limits on powerful institutions
  • Roe had acted as a judicial constraint on state action regarding abortion.
  • Overturning it shifts the balance away from courts enforcing a strong constitutional floor and toward legislatures/regulators setting variable and often punitive rules.
  1. Third-party and “outsourced harm” effects
  • State-level bans often operate through enforcement against providers and/or via mechanisms that create chilling effects.
  • This can outsource coercive power to institutions and individuals (clinics, clinicians, insurers, employers), rather than keeping the issue within a rights-and-procedure framework.
  1. Non-domination / vulnerability
  • If the practical ability to exercise the right depends on geography, money, transportation, and time, then restricting abortion tends to dominate the most vulnerable groups most severely.
  • That conflicts with an anti-domination approach that aims to secure baseline liberties for everyone, not just the privileged.

More on LCL

Limitarian Constitutional Liberalism (LCL)

Note : this isn't entirely complete, going into the specifics of implementing them is a much deeper rabbit hole. Changing to a better voting system is a good starting point however.

1) Strong rights enforcement is central

  • Courts and independent oversight matter a lot.
  • Due process, privacy, free speech, and protection from coercion get treated as enforceable constraints on both individuals and powerful institutions.

2) Limits on wealth and power become constitutional

  • Extreme accumulation is capped or bounded by law (directly through taxes/limits, or indirectly through enforceable anti-concentration rules).
  • “Power” is not only economic. It likely includes political influence and control over essential infrastructure.

3) Small state, but not a weak state

  • The state is lean in what it provides.
  • It is “strong” where it must be: enforcement, adjudication, regulator independence, and anti-abuse rules.

4) Competition is protected, but not worshipped

  • Market freedom is respected, but monopolistic capture and exploitation get blocked through antitrust, liability, licensing standards, and disclosure rules.
  • The goal is that freedom for individuals does not require freedom for predation.

5) “Markets + rights” replaces “markets only”

  • Private contracts are respected, but not when they function as coercion or impose rights-violating harms (for example, involuntary constraints, unsafe externalities, or de facto monopoly power).
  • Tort law and regulatory standards are used to prevent “outsourcing harm.”

6) A coherent stance on safety nets

  • Likely favors baseline protections (so people can meaningfully exercise rights), but tries to keep programs targeted and rule-based rather than sprawling.
  • The justification is rights and non-domination, not broad economic management.

7) Corporate actors are treated as constrained agents

  • Corporations are allowed to operate, but their ability to extract wealth without corresponding duties is limited.
  • Think: strong liability, transparency, enforcement against illegal harms, and limits on political capture.

8) Political legitimacy depends on reducing extreme influence

  • Because extreme wealth can buy disproportionate power, the limitarian component pushes toward guardrails for funding, lobbying, and ownership of essential platforms.

9) Policy tradeoffs are explicit

  • You accept the trade: less tolerance for extreme concentration in exchange for broader rights security and reduced domination.
  • Economic dynamism is preserved, but with “pressure valves” against runaway power.

conservatives are stupid because they think that seeing gay men kissing turns children and teenagers gay.

Yes. That wasn't something I ever refuted... As I've repeatedly stated.

Not gpt, a few open-source LLMs I jerry rigged using pain and suffering (half are Chinese so that doesn't help) then feed pictures of hand written napkin notes I've been writing for a few years now. 😅

My texts draw from many sources and books.
Like my incomplete notes on the American education system which draws heavily from "The smartest kids in the world and how they got that way" by Amanda Ripley, as well as many of my own experiences and ideas from having to live though it. The AI just helps bridge the ideas when I see a common theme or

applicable connection

Such as the connection between capitalism, classism, racial injustice and the American education system, the need to reform it using equity and higher requirements for people to become teachers, ect.

, format from my trash handwriting into something actually usable, and helps (with my strick guidance) format it using specific standards and methods I designate.

It was quite a bitch turning my napkin notes into digital text, but it was much faster to take pictures and process those than typing them 1 by 1. You should actually give it a try, write a whole bunch of unorganized notes on your political and then have AI do the grunt work of putting it together, double check it and tweak it 30 times per line to increase quality, readability, and consistency. Once put together you can use that as a baseline.

As far as LCL goes, it's an idea I've been working on for a long while, just needed some fancypants/markdown formatting.
