About the American Pirate Party

Inspired by movements like the Tea Party, and the organizational will of places like /r/GrassrootsSelects The American Pirate Party is hoping for a revival.

Our strategy from now through the 2018 midterms is to bring Americans a unified voice in political platform priorities, and seek to connect voters and passionate volunteers with candidates from all parties that align to our ideals.

The loyalty of voters is not bought, it is earned, and we care not for the political nations that fight for control of the seas of our lives. We defy these petty borders and sail where we please. From election to election we bring ourselves to bear where it matters most to the issues we determine.

Welcome to The American Pirate Party, a political home for all of us that see party loyalties and divisions as an unnecessary barrier to true political progress.

Join us and help shape our American political future.

Survey about your ethnic background and US society (US citizens only; ~8 mins to complete; 18+)

Hello, we are a group of psychology researchers from the University of Kent, UK. It would be a huge help if any US citizens interested would fill out our quick survey (18+ years old only) about your ethnic background and US society in general: https://kentpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cS9EddeWuarPzcF

We are particularly interested in hearing the thoughts of ethnic minorities in the US, which you will have a chance to write about towards the end of the survey if you wish. The survey takes around 8 minutes to complete, and we are happy to respond to any queries or questions. Please private message us to avoid giving away the point of the study to others. We will be sure to post our results here when they're ready.

Thanks for your time.

Edit: The survey is now closed! Thank you so much for all of your time and effort we really appreciate the great response. I will post another edit here very soon with a summary of the preliminary results for anyone that was interested.

This is the finalized survey that some of you may have already seen, I appreciate any responses

This will be the first of the surveys sent to help with this project. Following the final tabulation of all results, I will send you all of your data and the interpretation of all results. As such, this survey will request an email address for me to send the remaining information to. I will send you a total of eight emails, the party platforms, the announcement of the end of primaries and the finalized candidates, a one-question poll, results of the poll, a ballot, a reminder of the ballot being due, and a final satisfaction survey. There will only be three other surveys to fill out with the first one being by far the largest one. If you request it, you will be sent the results of the study, even if you are not chosen. If you take this first survey I will use an appropriate apportionment of individuals based on your state of origin, birth sex, and racial identity to create a sample that shares close proximity to the United States regarding these things.

*THE STUDY IS NOT CENTERED ON WHO WINS, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IN ELECTION RESULTS AND SATISFACTION*

This is a simulated 2024 election with no incumbents or former presidents running to eliminate incumbency bias. The simulation is centered around a multi-party system with eight political parties, four on the left and four on the right. You are absolutely allowed/encouraged to treat this as you would any other presidential election.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJcJbIRg0ZTuQ9hiyAHgzhKzbPbxy-P9-Z5ZuIxzTHNzCFSA/viewform?usp=sf_link

Thank you so much for anyone who does it and I will respond to any questions here as quickly as I can.

This is a project for a research class that I have permission to help launch further if I can get the proper amount of recipients.

How long do you estimate each of your surveys will take to fill out? Over what time frame will the entire experiment take place (a week? six weeks? six months)? What kind of time commitment are we talking about here?

Only the first survey (this one) should take more than ten minutes, and this will take place over the course of three months, after enough participants have responded, with me asking you to fill out three surveys beyond this one as well as providing results of surveys and the eight platforms.

How will the results (and our email addresses & demographic data) be used, shared, anonymized, published, etc?

The demographic data will be used to help determine some of the biases in my results based on recipients and the emails will only be used by me to send the links to surveys and information to read (if you want to read it). All of your data will be entirely anonymous in any form of publishing and after the final results, all email addresses will be deleted.

What do you hope to learn by simulating a (presumed U.S.) election with 8 parties?

The purpose here is to determine which voting system creates the most satisfied electorate that would be able to never have anyone feel as if their vote is wasted or they had to vote for someone they don't want to.

Any interest in joining a United States political sim?

Hey sorry about the somewhat off topic post but currently the Pirate Party in this server, is attempting to legalize all drugs, as well as decrease the size and power of the government, and we really need some more voters to get that done.

The server has a bit over 650 members https://discord.gg/DASycc4s3g

Evidence of Intelligence Agency Involvement in The Alt Right and Reddit/4chan

I'm gonna post this all across Reddit, 4chan etc because it relates to these communities. This is what I have spent the last month of lockdown doing. I have titled this article, 'The Truth About The Alt Right: A Destruction By Facts and Logic.' Part of the reason I write this article is that I sincerely hope those on the Alt-Right consider its implications and question their beliefs. The other part is that I sincerely hope the left begins to more fully understand the scope of the alt-right itself, but also of the intelligence agencies who, I believe I have shown in this article, are the creators and backers of the alt-right movement. I hope that perhaps they might consider what they could do to combat these influences specifically online.

While the alt-right have money, we have a lot of people. In the article I first outline who the alt right are and what they believe, as well as outlining a fairly orthodox theory of where fascism comes from. I then discuss The Roots of the Alt Right and the connections to intelligence agencies therein, their relationship to the conspiracy theory community and other alternative media. I also give a brief history of 4chan. I then discuss the Alt-Right itself, the alt-right specific theories such as Pizzagate and Qanon, as well as the alt-rights involvement the election of Donald Trump.

From here, I go on to discuss the various different groups and interests who put large amounts of money behind the election of Donald Trump. This money paid for the astroturfing of various forums on the internet, including Reddit and 4chan, by these paid meme magic factories. Those who paid for these factories are some interesting characters, including one Jim Dowson a Scottish Banker with Ulster Loyalist links, part of a shadowy group called The Knights Templar International, ruled by a mysterious 'Council of Nine'. Yes, you heard me correctly.

Outside of these interests, I also show the massive and blatant amount of intelligence agency interference in these communities. I then go on discuss the esoteric leanings of many of these Neo Nazi groups implicated in this astroturfing campaign, as well as their own connections to intelligence groups, which are often direct and stark. I discuss generally how these various influences have formed a militant anti left bloc, with global reach and influence as well as considerable militant capabilities. This network forms a Fascist International and has links right to the top of many states. 4Chan and Reddit have been a key media outlet in their growth.

I am aware the article is very long, so if you have a pretty good grasp 4chan/Reddit history, you can skip ahead to the section, Entitled 'The God Emporer Saves Us From His Pedophile Friends' , or, if you want to get straight to the sections most relevant to 4chan and Reddit, you can skip to the section entitled 'Evidence of Glow Posting'. It is from this section of the article that the whole thing grew. I wanted to collect the little evidence I had of glow posting into one document, that lead here and there and now I have over 20,000 words. You will find that at the start of the article in the introduction there are few citations, don't assume that is because I don't use them, I reference 143 sources in total. This is a link to the article. Hope you find it interesting. https://medium.com/@MKultrawoke/the-truth-about-the-alt-right-a-destruction-by-facts-and-logic-e3d07f27e8cb

Through continuous non-violent direct action, we will catalyze necessary changes to ensure the emergence of a more equitable democracy.

Tulsi Gabbard for president?

Tulsi is running for president. One of her biggest issues is ending government surveillance. She is scored super high by Resore the 4th.

Any pirates supporting her?

Hi, my name is Kaniela Ing. I was first elected to the State House at 23-years-old despite being outspent 10-1. And we got things done. Now I’m running for Congress in HI-01 on one of America’s most progressive platforms, without taking a single dollar from corporations and their lobbyists. AMA!
