Yeah, you nailed the benefit of not being in an echo-chamber right on the head. Didn't used to, but these days I hate the left (I think most people do) but even they can have the occasional good idea.
Ethically, I like Anarchy- A=without Archon= law makers. What right gives some war-hawk, neocon and their stooges at lockheed martin to dictate my behavior by putting words to paper? To steal my money and give it to israel and pakistan? To redistribute it to blacks who are unable or unwilling to care for themselves?
It seems that government in a social species is just a necessary evil, but I'd love to be wrong. I'd love there to be some technology to set us free from the archons. Governance without governors. Just don't think it will ever happen.
It's just a shame that the only dissidents of the """echo""" are pushing pro faggotry pro tranny propaganda.
Why can't these people put effort into it, and push interesting things like political theory? Whether or not I agree with the political theory or not, I'd like to read something to change my point of view that isn't charged in identity politics, and emotional turmoil all around the spectrum.
Ideally, I do like authoritarian governments, just not ones who show no loyalty to the people which they govern over.

I don't know how to reliably achieve that. One could say "well, we need an ethnostate" but China is such a state, and so is Russia and see how that worked out for them. One of the other problems with an authoritarian government is you're gambling that each ruler will be good and just. If you get a bad one the entire system falls apart. Just a simple glance over Rome's history and you can look at the great things that a strong man can accomplish, and the ruin that he can bring. To my mind that brings too much fragility into the system. Plus it's almost always the worst of us who lust after power. And if there is a strongman position, it will be lusted over jealously.
Then again, a Republic (if you can keep it) has many of these problems as they have historically always drifted towards authoritarianism, oligarchy, despotism. I don't know what the right answer is.
Neither do I, I just have my preferences. But that same issue is true and important to keep in mind.
