cybercoma Posted July 9, 2015 Report Posted July 9, 2015 Thread drift -> please take it back to this political test.So he gets to make all of these bullshit arguments against me and I'm just not to respond to them? Then why don't you address the original drift or delete all the drift posts instead of leaving them there? Quote

Ash74 Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 Your Political Compass Economic Left/Right: 3.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.36 Found the questions were a little too black and white. Quote “Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.”― Winston S. Churchill There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. –Robert Heinlein
August1991 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Not sure why everybody likes this test so much. Ambiguity abounds...Agreed. Nevertheless, the questions are fun/irritating. I particularly like the limit of 4 possible answers. ====== My latest Political Compass Economic Left/Right: 4.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.18 Edited July 30, 2015 by August1991 Quote

August1991 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) August swore!? August swore!! Argus, I disagree. I didn't use vulgar language or take the Lord's name in vain. I merely pointed out that e^f*ckU is being OCD or passive/aggressive or whatever/it/is/now and not posting results - while you, me and many others have done so. ==== Polite Note to Others: Take the test in the OP, post your result here and maybe, eventually, I'll add them to the graph.

socialist Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Your Political Compass Economic Left/Right: -6.75 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.0 What's the difference? Both parties are Statist, both NDP and Liberals believe in top-down-command authoritarian control, both believe in the supremacy of the state above all else including the individual. Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.

poochy Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) I find it interesting that people seem pleased to tell others that they have an unbalanced view of the world, so much so that from one of the other tests, they seemed happy to mention that they are greatly aligned with communism. Do they answer the questions with an outcome in mind? Of course it's easy to bias your results, but if you truly are receiving an extreme result with your honest answers how could you not reflect upon your views and think, gee, should I want to be a communist? Or is that amount of self reflection simply more than most can ask of themselves? For example, I can be pro choice, pro gay marriage, a gun owner, for pipelines, not think Harper is the devil, and not think that the NDP would ruin us, I can think those things because they are rational, fact based points of view. Which is why I end up near the middle on these tests. Being an outlier with an unbalanced view of the world isnt something to be proud of, your system of belief might as well be a religion, you can't actually believe that all things in the world would be better if they conformed to one ideological bent, can you?

eyeball Posted August 14, 2015 Report Posted August 14, 2015 Politicians think that, as do people who invest a lot of credibility in them. I'm about as far to the SE as you can go on this test now. It's probably more a result of cringing as far away from the other ends of the spectra as possible than any indication of support for any particular flavour thereof - a stranger in a bent world.
