By and large, I consider myself to be libertarian. Three things challenge that stance, though: weed, porn and the TikTok ban.

Weed is absolutely disgusting and irredeemable, and I am 110% in favor of keeping it illegal.

Porn is proven to be horrible for the consumer, on top of being horrible for the women involved (many of whom were trafficked) and it's also downright despicable. Producers should be jailed, willing actors should be as well, and consumption should be a fineable offense.

And as for this TikTok ban... that platform is utterly worthless and needed to go. People can make up excuses to cope all they want, the concerns over it are legitimate and it contributes literally nothing good to society.

If those three battlegrounds keep me from being a true libertarian, so be it. I don't like big government but unlike some folks, I see it as still having a role, such as in these csses and international matters.
