and i have no idea what the fuck any of it means ^^;;
This. I did take the test multiple times by now, but every single time the questions just seemed a) very geared towards a certain result and b) not descriptive enough. Hardly any extreme positions to take on the questions (The economy part, for instance, doesn't contain anything to describe a true communist economy, just a socialist one.) Also, I bet pretty much any European has to end up somewhere in the green, no matter what.ResonanceGames said:
I end up somewhere between -6, -6 and -9, -9 every time, btw. This time it was -6.25, -6.28. Which is easily explained: I'm one of those filthy commies.
Lenin would be at around -10, 2 to -8, -1. Depending on the POV. The ideal he presented is more to the left and libertarian, while the state he led goes further up.Lunar Templar said:
Hey, at least we agree that the patriot act is a horrible breach of personal privacy. We can always work together on those kinds of things.rotkiv said:
Whoa, why are there so many people in the bottom-left quadrant?

Almost [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.393149-The-Political-Compass-test?page=7#15885895] everyone else. Though I don't blame you for not looking closely at each of the hundreds of graphs across ten pages.james0192 said:
From what I can tell, it seems you and I are pretty much the only ones moderately "right" and ever-so-slightly authoritarian.

Way off from where I thought I would be. I bet when I posted my results four years ago they were way different then, too.

Does sound like me, although I highly disagree with modern corporate structure (mostly the shareholders business model). At the end of the day though, what's good for the company == what's good for the state, as it should be.

Open a thread about religion and it will generally end inT0ad 0f Truth said:Purple Brofistrotkiv said:
OT: I'm still kind of unnerved by the uniformity of beliefs here on the escapist
You'd think we'd be more open to others ideas and... *remembers drowning threads and ME3 fiasco* Who the hell am I kidding.
"I don't care what you believe in as long as you don't shove it down my throat."
Open a thread about gays and it will generally end in
"I don't care about what you want to do as long as you don't do it with me."
I've noticed this trend for a while now. This is a very liberal group of people. I've tried to stir up shit by naming off some of my more "evil" beliefs (For example that one question about how people with terrible hereditary defects shouldn't be allowed to produce kids... I went yes) But even those are met with tolerance and a cuddly form of conviction.
We need some die hard neo-nazi extreme right winged conservatives in this forum. That would make things interesting.

Wow, didn't think anyone would beat my score. My only flaw was some of the questions were strangely worded so I didn't vote "strongly" on some items. Anyway, word.
Word indeed. It seems like we are a very small minority here.
That's about how mine looked - possibly a bit farther down (Libertarian) than yours.Muspelheim said:http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=-7.75&soc=-6.00
To noone's surprise. Although I thought I would be a bit more left. Honestly, by American standards, I'm practically a Bolshevik.
En garde, Liberty Prime!
I was amused that I'm more liberal than Gandhi.
Also - how do they put all of the US politicians on there? Or Gandhi for that matter? Did they enter their results based on their speeches and stuff?
Because, if so, then I'm guessing that some of those Senators may have been lying to squeak by in American politics.
