Your political compass?


https://www.politicalcompass.org/

It's a site that tells where you are on the political spectrum (both on economic and social issues)

Here's Mine - I'm Left (-5.63) Libertarian (-6.31).

I always get some kind of "Libertarian Left" Radical Centrist result from these tests...and this one was no different.

reply

Interesting. Perhaps they reflect a different side of your political beliefs which you aren't aware of.

reply

Not really. The questions on these tests are all kinda similar in nature. I'm 46 years old...I know who I am and I'm pretty comfortable with my radical centrist position politically.

I'm a born & raised New Englander so I started life in a blue bubble. I'll probably never be able to move any further to the right, nor will I ever move back to the left.

I'll be politically purple forever, I'm sure.

reply

If I'm right, you suggested in a thread that the voting franchise should be reduced and are part of the bloc on here that want to restrict/roll back LGBT media expression rights.

No fucking way are you socially libertarian.

reply

If I'm right


You aren't. Universal suffrage has proven to be a terrible decision for the USA, the current system is not fiscally sustainable. And not wanting perverts to shove their junk in children's faces is not a political stance, its a common decency stance. I don't care what they do behind closed doors.

No fucking way are you socially libertarian.


YOU are not from the USA. Our politics and your politics ARE NOT THE SAME. WE FLED FROM THE UK, and for good fucking reason too. Brits can be such bloody wankers, and its not surprising with the oppressive parliament and police force that has their boots on your necks 24/7...

>You aren't. Universal suffrage has proven to be a terrible decision for the USA, the current system is not fiscally sustainable.

And opposing universal suffrage is not remotely libertarian.

>And not wanting perverts to shove their junk in children's faces is not a political stance, its a common decency stance. I don't care what they do behind closed doors.

You go further than that, if I recall. Should it be legal for TV shows and films to depict gay characters to an adult audience? Should it be legal for gay clubs to exist?

>YOU are not from the USA. Our politics and your politics ARE NOT THE SAME. WE FLED FROM THE UK, and for good fucking reason too. Brits can be such bloody wankers, and its not surprising with the oppressive parliament and police force that has their boots on your necks 24/7...

You fled because we were too oppressive, and now you yourself appear to endorse authoritarianism. The irony.

reply

You are, as usual, projecting...and wrong on all accounts.

You don't know dick about me, Homeboy. I'm a radical centrist, not a libertarian. YOU are calling me that, are wrong, and look like an idiot continuing to hammer the (incorrect)point. I don't care what the test results say, they are for fun...and not at all accurate.

You fled because we were too oppressive, and now you yourself appear to endorse authoritarianism.

No, that's the democrats, and the UK government. You, not me, you will be living under a boot realllly soon. Have fun with that. We'll be shooting back before we allow it to happen to us. Trust. 😉

Fair enough. But you seem to be deeply authoritarian based on the rhetoric I've seen you express on here.

>No, that's the democrats, and the UK government. You, not me, you will be living under a boot realllly soon. Have fun with that. We'll be shooting back before we allow it to happen to us. Trust. 😉

I'll ask again: Should it be legal for TV shows and films to depict gay characters to an adult audience? Should it be legal for gay clubs to exist?

reply

What are they depicting? That's the key part to your question, please expand upon it.

deeply authoritarian


LMAO, based on what? You need to back your shit up with examples, coming at me with that accusation. Aren't you in favor of vaccine mandates?

reply

>What are they depicting? That's the key part to your question, please expand upon it.

Gay men in a relationship. Gay men kissing. Sometimes sex scenes. Just like many romantic TV and film dramas about heterosexual people. Except its about a gay couple. Should that be legal?

>LMAO, based on what? You need to back your shit up with examples, coming at me with that accusation.

Lets see how you answer this.

reply

Aren't you in favor of vaccine mandates?

Notice how Skavau gleefully dodges your questions, yet expects you to answer all his, and flies into a rage if you don’t immediately comply with his interrogation and get all of the answers ‘right’.

Quite the little Hitler he is.

reply

>Notice how Skavau gleefully dodges your questions, yet expects you to answer all his

This is rich and deeply hypocritical from someone who has answered none of my questions.

And no, I missed the question. Here's the answer: No I am not in favour of vaccine mandates. I'll reply to clarify this.

>Quite the little Hitler he is.

You think not answering questions, or missing questions makes someone hitler? You have a way worse track record than me on this. Not to mention your cowardly replying techniques.

reply

You can cram all of your insincere Straw and Hatchling ‘questions’ back up your ass, ya lying sack of shit.

reply

And what am I lying about exactly?

Back to the childish "hatchling question" autoreplies I see. Continuing to be a cowardly little bitch who can't back up any of their claims so they just pretend they're somehow self-evident and call anyone who asks for clarification or evidence as being "hatchling"

Narcissistic, self-centered piece of shit

reply

I just told you, you can cram all of your insincere Straw and Hatchling ‘questions’ back up your ass and you mindlessly fart out another Hatchling question 🤦🏻‍♂️

Fucking moron, and you still expect people to play along with your pathetic little inquisitions.

You swan around this site moralising, forgetting that you’re an evil, censorious, authoritarian, lying sack of shit… and everyone can see that sickening hypocrisy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Evolution would have weeded out toxic little cunts like you. It’s only by the grace of the people you want to destroy that you’re allowed to exist. It must be hell to be you.

reply

>Aren't you in favor of vaccine mandates?

I missed this. No, I am not in favour of vaccine mandates.

My questions, if you please?

Economic Left/Right: -6.13 Left
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.56 Libertarian

reply

Just as I expected, bullshit.

reply

Of course it is. It’s the fabricated, convoluted and deceptive compass to skew almost everyone towards the left.

reply

100%. You can tell by the nature of the questions and the lack of applicable answers. Of course, liberals are oblivious to such things.

reply

These ‘tests’ are just a way to convince people they’re akchully Leftists and therefore must vote Blue.

Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.92

https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=-5.75&soc=-6.92

I think I'm a bit more left and a bit more libertarian than the last time I took this test, which was maybe 10-12 years ago. Which is funny because I thought I was answering a bit more moderately than back then.

reply

It's interesting that the former "Libertarian" Party candidate, Gary Johnson, isn't very libertarian, at all. Just in relation to others.

What's a Leppo?

reply

That wasn't even his most stoned moment. I heard him in an interview in which he was asked what his number one economic priority would be. He said he wanted everybody to be able to leave their SS benefits to their heirs. The interviewer followed up by asking how that would affect the solvency of SS. Gary said, "I don't know. That's a good question and it would be good to look at an actuarial analysis. "

His number one priority and he hasn't thought it through any deeper than a bumper sticker...

I'm convinced literally no one knew what Aleppo was.

Interesting to see where the "communists", Harris and Walz, come out.

reply

I guess the takeaway is that most "mainstream" U.S. politicians are right-wing, Democrat or Republican.

reply

It could also be that these propositions aren't the critical ones pertinent to today's politics in the is. I recognize them from over a decade ago. Who, back then, would have thought that bathroom use, legality of birth control and even mixed race marriage, corporate citizenship and presidential immunity would be differentiating topics.
