Omni-Liberal

Not to be confused with Destiny's X account, @TheOmniLiberal.

Omni-liberalism is a tongue-in-cheek term coined by Destiny to describe his general political philosophy. Generally, this can be described as "taking the best" from each political philosophy, though is recognized as somewhat of a tautology within DGG, as each system (naturally) thinks that it's beliefs are the best. Two notable diversions from the stereotypical left/liberal beliefs that Destiny holds are his support for individual gun rights, and general support of Israel.

In politics, it can be useful to know which particular ideology someone subscribes to. However, I do not fall perfectly in-line with any particular ideology. I describe myself as an Omni-Liberal, which is a made-up, tongue-in-cheek term to encapsulate the general position of: Having the core values of liberalism (e.g. freedom and equality). Taking the best parts of all different kinds of political ideologies and using them together in a pragmatic way. I don't feel dogmatically attached to any particular form of government or economic system. If it can be demonstrated that some economic system (socialism, capitalism, etc.) can consistently produce better economic and social outcomes for a given society, that would be the economic system I would advocate for. As of right now, I believe that free markets with strong social safety nets (see: Scandinavia) are the most effective way of achieving these ends.
