You believe in maximizing individual freedoms and minimizing government interference in personal lives to create a more just and equitable society.
Civil Libertarianism is a political ideology that emphasizes the liberty of individuals and seeks to limit the power of the government. It is a branch of libertarianism, a broader political philosophy that advocates for minimal state intervention in the lives of citizens. Civil libertarians argue for the protection of civil liberties, such as freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to privacy. They believe that these rights are inherent and should not be infringed upon by the government.
The roots of civil libertarianism can be traced back to the Enlightenment era in the…

Would you rather live in a world with complete safety but limited freedoms, or one with risks but full personal autonomy?
@9KZN6QR2mos2MO
I would live a life with risk with full personal autonomy
@9L3YDPPRepublican2mos2MO
I think having freedoms and potential having to make more risky decisions is better than your life being run by the government in a communist society.
@9KZPF5R2mos2MO
I would rather take the risk but have full personal autonomy.

WASHINGTON – Today, Alejandro Mayorkas was officially sworn in as the seventh Secretary of Homeland Security. Secretary Mayorkas took the oath this afternoon after the Senate voted to confirm him. As Secretary of Homeland Security, Mayorkas now leads the third largest federal department in the United States, which includes the
@9KZNHT72mos2MO
In my opinion limiting freedoms is inherently anti-life. You cannot live a fulfilled life unless you are truly free so I would rather live in a risky world with absolute freedom

How would you ensure the accuracy of information in a system where the media was state-controlled?
@9KK9TZDIndependent3mos3MO
If the government was in a state-controlled system with technology, we must do it in a way that is not too invasive to individuals.
@9KJ7R8V3mos3MO
In a system where the media was state controlled it would depend on the reliability of the state.
@9KJ2P323mos3MO
Remove all government control over media and allow us to put out truthful information instead of being censored
@9KJ2CF33mos3MO
Well I don't know because the government is corrupt as it is, and having it be the only one in control of news outlets sounds like a disaster.

If the music you love was deemed 'unacceptable,' how would that influence your perception of artistic freedom?
@9HW45P25mos5MO
No music should be deemed unacceptable/ discouraged.
@9HW43FC5mos5MO
The music that I love it what I love.You can't call it unacceptable because it not your choice in what I like. that is not for you to decide so I would be very upset.
@9HZ9KZ8Republican4mos4MO
Music is a First Amendment freedom of speech and expression. By labeling music you disagree with unacceptable you are saying that an individual does not deserve the same rights you exercise.
@9HW3Q4V5mos5MO
That would be a violation of rights. No music should be discouraged.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How would your social interactions change if public conversations had to avoid a list of state-prohibited topics?
@9KZNK8Z2mos2MO
Our conversations would change because we would no longer have the freedom of speech that every American citizen has the right to.
@9L36CSV2mos2MO
We all as Americans have the right to free speech but if we ended up with a list of what was okay and not okay to say then it would be annoying and frustrating to communicate.
@9KZP3KB2mos2MO
There is a possibility of speech being limited and another possibility of violating peoples rights.
@9KZNJN82mos2MO
I would only avoid them when I knew I was being heard by someone who would report me
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
When, if ever, is it justified for the government to silence voices in the interest of national security?
@9KLC84X3mos3MO
I believe that it is vital we maintain the ability to speak and assemble freely. However, I do see how it may be useful in bettering society by eliminating hate speech or neutralizing those who intend to do harm.
@9KL9S7S 3mos3MO
When they spread disinformation or national security secrets.
@9KL99GS3mos3MO
Almost never. Giving away nuclear codes or outing current US troop locations to an enemy force for example that's about it. Certainly not for "hate speech" or supposed incitement.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
As a high school student, how would you react if participation in extracurricular activities depended on your political stance?
@9JJMQNF4mos4MO
It shouldn't matter what your political stance is to join a certain extracurricular activity.
@9JJFTY94mos4MO
I would react frustrated and confused at first sight, due to the fact that playing sports depended on politics.
@9JJFR6F4mos4MO
I would be mad because activites do not define me.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How much of your personal freedom would you be willing to give up for a guarantee of comprehensive healthcare?
@9HW4K8JWomen’s Equality5mos5MO
I don't think we should have to give up any rights for comprehensive health care. Health care is a human right.
@9HW5KBZ5mos5MO
Why must people give up their personal freedom to guarantee healthcare
@9HW5YSX5mos5MO
Only what is required for effective treatment and contain or eliminate serious infectious disease such as measles, COVID, etc
I woulnd't mind giving up some freedom for free/more affordable health care
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you feel if the government monitored all your online activities to ensure public safety?
@9HDV8BX6mos6MO
no I feel like I wouldn't have my rights of liberty and freedom
@9HDVY736mos6MO
I'd feel uncomfortable because they looking at everything im looking at
@9HDVDVJ6mos6MO
i wouldn't feel comfortable just knowing that I'm being monitored online.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How might your daily life look different if you needed permission to move to a different city or country?
It would be more stressful and chaotic. This would also put more on workers plates when they should be focused on other, more important things than being worried as to why I am moving to a different city.
@9HXHLJMPeace and Freedom4mos4MO
We should be free to move where we want to, this freedom of movement will benefit the economy considering that someone might be more productive with work in some places rather than others.
@9HW2KCVIndependent5mos5MO
I would feel very controlled and feel as though I have no freedom.
very much different because if I had to have permission to move then I would get upset because I would have to wait before moving. My life would be different depending on the time.
@9HW2X6B5mos5MO
If i needed permission to go somewhere I can agree because you never know if someone like a bomber or shooter might pull up
