Self Determination

Agree

Increase, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

This stance aligns with the principles of Self Determination by ensuring that aid is not used to support or legitimize governments that violate human rights, which is a fundamental aspect of self-determination. It suggests a principled approach to foreign aid that respects the autonomy and dignity of individuals and nations.

Slightly agree

Decrease

Supporters of Self Determination might lean towards decreasing foreign aid spending as a means to reduce potential external influence over the internal affairs of sovereign nations. Decreasing aid could be seen as a way to encourage countries to develop their own solutions to problems, in line with self-determination principles. However, this stance is not absolute, as the context of how aid impacts self-determination efforts varies.

Slightly agree

Decrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

Denying aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism could align with Self Determination principles to the extent that it seeks to prevent the support of entities that undermine the self-determination of others. However, this stance must be carefully considered to ensure it does not inadvertently punish populations rather than governments or groups violating these principles.

Neutral

I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

The ideology of Self Determination does not inherently prescribe a specific level of foreign aid spending. Satisfaction with the current amount of spending would depend on how well current aid policies align with supporting the self-determination of nations without imposing external agendas.

Slightly disagree

Decrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit

While fiscal responsibility is important, the ideology of Self Determination would prioritize the principles of autonomy and support for self-governance over budgetary concerns. This answer does not directly address how aid impacts the self-determination of recipient countries, making it less relevant to the ideology.

Disagree

Increase

The ideology of Self Determination emphasizes the importance of nations and peoples having the autonomy to decide their own fate and governance without external interference. Increasing foreign aid spending could be seen as contrary to this principle if the aid is used to exert influence or control over the recipient countries. However, if the aid is structured in a way that genuinely supports self-determination efforts without strings attached, it might be viewed more favorably.

Disagree

Decrease, and we should not give foreign aid to any countries

While decreasing foreign aid might align with reducing external influence, advocating for no foreign aid to any countries could be seen as neglecting the role that international solidarity and support can play in helping nations achieve self-determination, especially in cases of humanitarian crises or colonial legacies.
