I'm not sure, but in my opinion, moderation is necessary. Any network without moderation will be flooded with Nazis and pedophiles. I don't think you'll have a good time.

And it's my view that we are free to dunk on people with bad views.

VC's and companies like OpenAI have done a really good job of propagandizing AI (LLMs). People think it's magical and the future, so there's money in saying you have it.

What if I want no taxes for the lower class lower taxes for the middle class and small business but much higher taxes on the upper class and large corporations

Left.

a very strong military

Typically right, but plenty of examples of marxist-leninist states with strong militaries, such as the USSR or China. And on the less authoritarian side you have the YPG in rojava who was very effective at fighting the Islamic state.

but stronger corporate regulation with more teeth

This one's a little confusing, would probably need more clarification.

to fund public works and social services with the taxes we bring in

Left.

a free and equal society with no hierarchical systems or bigotry, freedom of speech and strong privacy laws with certain restrictions on speech (calls to violence, etc...), very strong unions, a near complete elimination of wall street, and a fair justice system that doesn't target minorities as prey?

Left-libertarian/anarchist.

Also, guns are fine for self defense in my opinion.

At least in America, the guns issue is typically viewed as a left vs. right issue, but there's plenty of folks on the far left that are in favor of guns (socialist rifle association, redneck revolt, John Brown gun club, etc).

Karl Marx even has an often cited quote on guns:

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary

Which side do I fall on?

Pretty much left. You're certainly left of the American Democrats. Pretty much the only thing stopping you from being a full on leftist is you don't seem to be opposed to capitalism itself. Therefore, I'd say most of your positions sound like they fall under social democracy.

I used to work as a pentester. It's an open secret that like a good chunk of people in the industry are former criminals. But former is kind of the keyword. Not only is he doing crime after being arrested and still under surveillance, but he can't even lie and say he won't do it again. The kid is unhireable, at least not until he can get his compulsions under control.

I don't know, lots of people deal with mental illness without being bigoted.

No, games require labor to develop.

I too want to reengineer the economy.

Yup, like I said, lots of leftists I disagree with. That includes ML's. What's your point exactly?

That's a false equivalency. Genocide is core to Nazi ideology. And communism didn't cause the death of millions any more than capitalism caused the deaths of millions. It gets pretty messy when you try and attribute unintentional deaths to an economic system. And frankly, kind of gross when you conflate unintentional deaths with the very deliberate and systematic execution of people.

Too harsh? Can you name one that isn't?
