TDRHism is a variant of File:PCB-LibCon.png Liberal Conservatism and the de-facto ideology of ThatDudeRightHere. It is economically center-right, File:Civnat.png Template:PCB, slightly statist, slightly Template:PCB with a bit of File:Atheism.png secularism, and culturally center-right (with a bit of progressivism). It seeks to establish European-style File:Cdem.png Template:PCB and File:Onenatcon.png Template:PCB in the United States.

Although following the File:Chilib.png Chicagoan school of economics and somewhat of the File:3way.png Template:PCB, TDRHism doesn't refer to himself as a File:Neoliberal-icon.png Template:PCB, instead he prefers to stick more with File:Clib.png Template:PCB.

Beliefs

TDRHism believes in what most Americans would call "compassionate conservatism", meaning that he's a more moderate conservative, similar to a File:Rockrep.png Rockefeller Republican. He's slightly patriotic, leaning more towards File:Civnat.png civic nationalism. He believes in a mostly free-market economy with slight regulations in order to prevent bad stuff from happening in the economy, an example would be the exploitation of workers. He believes in a mix of File:Chilib.png Chicagoan economics and File:Keynes.png Keynesian, meaning he is somewhat of a File:NuKeynesPix.png Neo-Keynesian.

Philosophical Beliefs

TDRHism is, philosophically a File:PCB-LibCon.png Liberal Conservative. He believes that while humans are naturally tribalistic and hierarchal, are more rational than emotional, and utopian ideologies never worked in practice, he also believes in some more liberal policies such as the enlightenment.

He also follows File:Petersonism.png Petersonism, as he believes that humans have free will and should focus on improving themselves before they blame others.

Economic Views

TDRHism is a File:Soccap.png Template:PCB, following the File:Chilib.png Template:PCB of economics. He believes that File:Cap.png Template:PCB is the most successful economic system, however, in order to protect workers and consumers, there needs to be certain File:Regulationism.png Template:PCB on it for it to succeed, otherwise dubious practices will happen, corporations will monopolize, leading to File:Corp.png Template:PCB.

Despite him wanting regulations on the economy, he is not a File:Soc.png Template:PCB, nor does he advocate for a planned economy. In fact, he is skeptical of most forms of socialism (albeit with File:Marketsoc.png Template:PCB) and a planned economy, seeing most socialist societies with a planned economy have failed in practice, leading to their collapse or shift towards economic liberalism.

File:Regulationism.png Fiscal Policy and Taxation

TDRHism knows that taxation sure as sh** ain't theft (cope and seethe, File:Ancapf.png Template:PCB, ecks dee el em ay oh) because without taxation, who's gonna pay for healthcare, social programs and infrastructure? However, he's against the government using taxpayer's money to fund some random stupid project that nobody asked for.

Under his system, these taxes will be implemented:

• Income tax (set at a mix between flat and progressive, while it does go up there will be 5 wealth levels: very poor, poor, middle class, rich and every rich, and the tax rate will be set for each wealth group)
• Corporate income tax (Exemption for File:Ecocap.png green innovation companies)
• Capital gains tax
• Value added tax
• Import duties
• Financial services tax (a small 0.1-0.5%)
• Currency transaction tax
• Land value tax and land use tax (to prevent land hoarding)
• Carbon tax (a punishment for pollution)
• Recreational substances tax (for alcohol, marijuana, tobacco and other recreational drugs)
• Digital services tax (implemented to greatly strengthen the difficulty of tax evasion done by multinational big tech corporations)

There will be a sales tax, and the tax will increase by by a random amount. Here are the rates of charge for sales taxes:

• Nutritious food, water, medicine, household and hygienic supplies: no sales tax
• School and work supplies: 2% sales tax
• Unhealthy food and beverages: 6% sales tax
• Furniture: 15% sales tax
• Plastic materials that aren't at least 50% reusable or biodegradable: 30% sales tax
• Cigarettes: 90% sales tax
• Alcohol, chewing tobacco, cigars: 150% sales tax
• Non-medical marijuana: 225% sales tax

File:Plutocrat.png Wealth

TDRHism wants to implement a wealth tax, seeing it as a way to redistribute money from people who have earned it through shady means. However, he is alright with some people being richer than others. Those who've earned wealth through dubious means should have their wealth redistributed towards things like healthcare, social programs, environmental programs, housing, infrastructure and rural development programs.

His system will work like File:Long.png Template:PCB "share the wealth" program combined with File:Cball-Philippines.png Filipino president File:Duterte.png Rodrigo Duterte's ten-point agenda. Thus, he will implement a wealth tax to redistribute the wealth from the exploitative to help the poor through the improvement and funding of welfare, education, healthcare, housing , infrastructure, and rural development programs, as well as use some of that wealth for technological and scientific development.

File:Univhealth.png Healthcare

TDRHism thinks that File:Cball-US.png his country's healthcare system is nightmarish. This is due to the private sector being allowed to charge extortionate amounts to fill their pockets, as well as people who don't pay enough often lose everything. Therefore, he wants a model similar to the File:Cball-Australia.png Australian model, where healthcare is mostly public, and private companies are subjugated to heavy amounts of regulation. As such, these are his policies:

• Drug prices from pharmacies should be set by the state, with prescription charges either very cheap or free in the case of long term conditions
• All primary care services such as hospitals, ambulances, and A & E should be completely publicly owned, though some specialist services like dentistry can be provided privately.
• The healthcare system should be adequately funded and staffed, with at least 9% of GDP devoted to public healthcare spending.
• People must be either citizens or permanent residents in order to receive free healthcare.

This being said, he also expects people to take a measure of responsibility for their own health and not to abuse the system. Measures to ensure this would include:

• Handing out large fines for those that miss two or more GP appointments.
• Charging the obese, smokers, alcoholics, and other drug addicts for the treatment of conditions that their unhealthy lifestyles caused.

As for vaccine mandates, he believes that vaccines shouldn't be required by the government for everyone, as some people can't take the vaccine. However, he does believe it should be required for sports, schools, concerts, and the like.

Mental Health

TDRHism supports mental health treatment for those who are genuinely mentally unwell. He dislikes how mental disorders are romanticized, mainly by young women.

As someone who was diagnosed with File:Autism.png "Autism" himself, he believes this has stunted his development, and that condition (as well as similar ones) are so over diagnosed and 'high functioning autism' being a partly self reinforcing social construct that robs those diagnosed of a belief in free will and individual agency. He believes that can be cured with social self-improvement, and he aligns himself on the Asperger's side on the so-called File:Autism Line.png Autism Spectrum.

He also thinks that clumping 'low functioning' and 'high functioning' into the same spectrum is too politically correct to the point where it is 'neurodiversity', and is an insult to people like himself. Low functioning children should be given special medical attention but mild Asperger's traits should not be diagnosed.

With victimhood considered a virtue, especially for women and minorities, 'therapy' is endlessly promoted as the solution to personal problems and any holding back of emotions is seen as 'bottling it up'.

Whilst he doesn't deny that asking for help is sometimes important, he also feels that sometimes being encouraged to 'talk through issues' is in fact being encouraged to 'pick one's life apart and all that is wrong with it' instead of focusing on the positive, and in his experience, can often make these issues worse.

Being encouraged to 'pull oneself up by their bootstraps', emphasising the power of individual agency, and positive thinking, he views as very positive and productive to improving people's mental health.
