    Political Compass

    So, I always called myself... a milktoast liberal or a social libertarian. I finally took a political compass test.
    Found here: The Political Compass

    I'm very curious at yours in this forum, especially those in that "Let the truth be known" thread. God that thread is toxic.

    But here you go, Interesting. I'm a liberal libertarian. Cool.
    Economic Left/Right: -1.88
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82




    Others:


    And this one, the most interesting one I think.



    Good luck!

    Who knew?

    (Wow! We're all very similar! Amazing.)

          I suggest everyone have a go at this because the results so far seem to be so similar.

                The survey has a built in bias to it as a respondent needs to spend at least five minutes to complete it answering many questions.

                For those who are use to responding with knee jerk political viewpoints, their bias gets drown out if they answer honestly.

                    Every copier tech I've ever met are conserative Republicans. Especially the self employed like myself. We don't want to live under a socialist government. We love capitalism and the ability to grow our business. The people in USA will show how they feel about socialism in Nov.

                      I did it again answering the questions as I think a fascist dictator would answer and only got 3/10 on the fascist scale, slightly disappointing.

                      I lived under Margaret Thatcher's rule, fuck knows how they put her in that category.

                        clearly it is a skewed survey .. I took it and was deemed liberal .. I am the FURTHEST thing from liberal.

                          I answered it honestly and received the expected results, then I answered it the way I thought a right winger would answer and got right winger results. It seems to be accurate.

                            CONCERNING POLITICAL BIAS

                            If this were true, logically, the skew within the left and right spectrum would be more dramatic. Even "Republicans" are more to the center in various other surveys since "Freedom of speech" is now a conservative/libertarian ideal. To be frank, the point, and it is shown, how people support their parties because they are FANS of their party. People say they are Republican's or Democrats not because of particular policies, but because it's theirs. They made a choice to support a "team" and they will stick to them, regardless of policies. This can be proven, say a quote by Trump, and the left will find every excuse to disagree. Vice versa with Obama, though it's more prevalent in the left in today's age. Notice, how the left has gone FURTHER, and the "Republicans" are pretty much EVERYWHERE in the horizontal spectrum. Elections have become like a sporting event. "Vote blue no matter who" ect...

                            The truth is, not many people are authoritarian, Most people from left to right want's to be free, hence it's important to show the vertical axis. And most of you, want to be free from government, which yes, it's a conservative/libertarian ideal.

                            Lastly, I answered the questions exact opposite of what I posted earlier, and I literally got Hitler.

                            So, you can in fact get further right, you're just not Hitler.
