Political Compass

[bannination]

I couldn't remember where I fell on the political compass, so I took it again.

My results:




Libertarian?!?!?!

Oh well, could be worse.... could be right....

Time to change your avatar to a Ron Paul 2012 bumper sticker.

I found CPF's average!

[O Really]

Economic Left/Right: -7.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.15

Lower left.
Not far from Banni.

Apparently I've moved left in the last year. I think I merely answered a few questions with "Strongly agree/disagree" rather than just "agree/disagree."

I also answered Agree to marijuana legalization where before I answered Disagree. My real opinion hasn't changed: I agree with legalization, but ONLY if related legal issues are ruled on at the same time. (Like road-side drug testing. Whether bus drivers etc. can be barred from pot by their employers. Whether landlords can ban pot smoking - which stinks up a building FAR more than tobacco - in their apartments.)

Libertarian?!?!?!

Bear in mind that the definition of "libertarian" was not always "batshit capitalist/anarchist/oligarch loon."

I came out about the same place as Gandhi. From the center of the graph, I'm three lines down and five lines left. I wonder if I should get some sandals and a sari?

[neoplacebo]

Since nobody has yet remarked about banni's CPFer compass point, I just wanted to say I laughed my ass off and consider it quite accurate.

I'm not sure I'd put them so far to the right.

OF COURSE they're extreme-right when it comes to the poor and middle class. But for the 1% they're firmly on the left. The bankers commit massive fraud, and the taxpayers are on the hook. The oil companies have a license to print money - selling oil from public land back the to the public - and they still get massive subsidies AND the taxpayers are stuck with the clean-up costs. Big defense contractors get no-bid contracts at several times the recognized private industry cost, and the taxpayers are stuck with the bill.

I agree, but good luck in getting them to directly admit it.

doesn't change the fact that the 1% and most of the 10% live off of the benefits of law and benefits built directly into what is essentially their economy.

And like most if these tests - this one oversimplifys to the point of irrelevance

[Vrede too]

Could be. What's your result and do you feel that it's inaccurate? I'd say that mine hits the mark.

Trumpette Repugs, and actually any current Repugs even if they don't like Trump, have less than "little" in common with libertarians.
Libertarians, in their own words:

...

Not much Republicanism or current version "Conservatism" there.

"Libertarian" means different things to different people. Remember this from 6 years ago? I thought it was pretty cool. A chart that locates one by Economic Left/Right and Social Libertarian/Authoritarian:

I must have taken it as "Vrede" but my results today are about as I remembered from then - economic lefty, very social libertarian.

Economic Left/Right: -6.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.13



I'm as economic socialist as banni and more social libertarian than y'all were. Oddly, Liz!/Bernie! fan me is not as economic lefty as Bloomberg-supporting O Really was and still may be. Go figure.

[Vrede too]

Pour moi:

Did you save your numbers? It makes it a bit easier to compare among us.

[GoCubsGo]

Didn't remember this one. Sounds about right.



Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67

[Vrede too]

Did you save your numbers? It makes it a bit easier to compare among us.

And what would be the point of that?

It's just interesting, it's something you've already partially done by posting your graph, and it's what almost all of us have chosen to do.

[Vrede too]

So the point is to conform?

How establishment.

Got it, you stupidly neglected to include your numbers and now you're desperately creating idiotic excuses for not completing what you'd already partially done by posting your graph because, as always, your ego is so tragically delicate when you're innocently asked for elaboration.

Anyhow, whiner, your numbers are approximately:

Economic Left/Right: -3.10
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.60

Resistance to conformity is futile .

Probably similar to whoever the test writer wanted me to be similar to

I took it, or similar, last year. Overly simplistic, mind reading, meaningless, all come to mind

[Vrede too]

How can that be when our scores are so variable?

I took it, or similar, last year. Overly simplistic, mind reading, meaningless, all come to mind

So, your results were inaccurate. Good to know, thanks.

What?

[Vrede too]

What?

Good to know that this test or one similar to it was inaccurate for you. Thanks again.
