Because I'm curious if the Iwaku I think exists is the Iwaku which is, I may as well leave a list of questions here and a poll. Before we get to the fun stuff though, here's a list of things to keep in mind.
Oh, and if you notice some overlap with these questions, that is intentional. It's meant to make you think carefully in how you respond.
#1: What is your position on the separation of church and state? Do you think that churches & other religious entities deserve their tax-exemption status?
#2: What is your position on abortion? Do you think there should be any limitations on abortion?
#3: What is the role of government in society? Should it be big, or small?
#4: Hate speech laws. Should they impede freedom of speech, and if so, when is it appropriate to use them? What should they be used to combat?
#5: Is military intervention in other nations (save in cases of total war) ever acceptable?
#6: What is your opinion on the death penalty?
#7: Should healthcare be privatized, two-tiered, or owned entirely and solely by the state?
#8: Do identity politics have any place in a democratic society? If so (or if not), in what ways are they most or least appropriate?
#9: In cases of certain, extraordinarily difficult to prove crimes (ex: rape, sexual assault) should the victim always be believed and the accused should prove their innocence, or the innocence of the accused always be presumed as is the status quo for other types of crime?
#10: Among various political views (socialism, libertarianism, conservatism, liberalism, et cetera), what would you most strongly identify yourself to be, if any of these things?
#11: Do you believe that political activism should ever become violent if its demands are not met by the state? If so, at what point, or under what circumstances, would it be appropriate to engage in acts of violence?
#12: Do you believe your country reflects your current political views? If not, do you think this is a serious problem?
#13: Do you think your country would be better off with more or less political views other than your own? If so, why?
#14: Do you believe your current political views are fundamentally superior to all others and will never change, or do you believe that your political views could be changed given appropriate circumstances?
#14: Should religious paraphernalia and other practices which otherwise violate the law or standard labour practices be tolerated? To what extent should they be tolerated?
#15: Are cultural sensitivity training sessions in businesses and similar type classes in post-secondary educations useful, or pointless? Further, should they be mandatory, or optional?
#16: Would you ever advocate for the limitation and perhaps even elimination of certain inalienable human rights, should it be required by your political views?
#17: What are your thoughts on immigration in general? (Excluding the current refugee crisis.)
#18: Should rights and freedoms be granted or curtailed based on one's race, gender, or sexuality--whether to grant special privileges, such as gender quotas, or protect traditional values, such as banning gay marriage?
#19: Should anti-gay marriage churches, organizations, and businesses, be forced to service homosexual couples? Should anti-gay views be punished with fines or hate speech laws?
#20: Would you describe yourself as more collectivist or individualist in general? In other words: Are the many more important than the one, or is the one more important than the many?
#21: How adorable are ferrets on a scale of "absolutely" to "Brovo is completely insane?"
Thank you for answering these questions. May Ferret Jesus watch over you, and keep you as chill as Snoop Dogg, so that this thread may not implode.
- Just the thread title alone will get moderators watching. Closely. Pull anything and its your ass that'll get flame broiled by the mods & admins, not mine. Also, for any moderators reading this, thank you for putting up with nonsense flame-tard bait garbage. For no pay. I really do appreciate it.
- This is not a derpbate thread, this is a thread dedicated to me (and anyone else who is curious) trying to learn more about the general political consensus of Iwaku and if it reflects what I think it is. Some things should be obvious, others less-so. Do not debate other people's view points here. The mods can feel free to be slap-happy with thread bans if it's necessary. This means, simply, answer the questions, and don't criticize the views of others in here. Tolerate them. If you must, go make another thread and talk about it there. I'm sure @Grumpy will be absolutely thrilled with the idea.
- Since I live in North America (in ye olde land of maple leaves and hockey players specifically), expect some political questions to be context-sensitive to Canada & The US. In other words: Your Mileage May Vary in how controversial any of these questions may be.
- Be kind to each other. This is a thread to learn shit about one another, and how we think. As a result, you can ask questions of someone's views, if you use the appropriate tone. Curiosity good, criticism bad. Please don't damage my already frail faith in humanity by lacking basic social skills and/or self-control here.
Oh, and if you notice some overlap with these questions, that is intentional. It's meant to make you think carefully in how you respond.

Thank you for answering these questions. May Ferret Jesus watch over you, and keep you as chill as Snoop Dogg, so that this thread may not implode.
