The Political Compass test!

[Zack Alklazaris]

Well I am down here in my purple corner, feeling quite lonely...http://www.politicalcompass.org/facebook/pcgraphpng.php?ec=6.88&soc=-5.49

Purple Brofist

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.

Open a thread about religion and it will generally end in
"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.

I believe in a free and voluntary society.
You own yourself.
You own the fruits of your labor.
No one has the right to take from you via force, threats, or fraud.

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.

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!

That's about how mine looked - possibly a bit farther down (Libertarian) than yours.

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.

 

[rotkiv]

Is there any country/government that can be placed in the green or purple area? almost all countries I have seen listed are in the blue area, and a few in the red area.

Libertarian Right, Team Purple GO! [http://www.politicalcompass.org/printablegraph?ec=1.12&soc=-2.51]

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.

We need a Meme/pic/gif

Go team Purple!

You back up your claims with logic, and I'll listen to anything you have to say.

And Über Right wing Conservatives on this site would be fun to see. Big State Communists too

 

[sammysoso]

Here's mine:

I seem to be a lot closer to the center than most people here, huh.

 

[Filiecs]

So many lefties here.
...
Darn commies!

Purples FTW!

 

[wookiee777]

I've taken this test before and I really wish there was a neutral option or an "I don't know". I'm not the smartest when it comes to the economy, so I was forced to pick the best I could. I also wish the choices were far more varied. I don't think the results are all that accurate honestly. The questions need more context.

Anyway, here's my result...it's not very exciting:

 

[Godhead]

So many people in the green.

[Willinium]

Well this is mine which I am quite proud of. Economic Left/Right: 3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.82

. . . . how do I post the image?

 

[godofslack]

Yeah, I always end up here, it's not my fault I thought Andrew Ryan from Bioshock was mostly in the right, well until the entire part where everyone died or went insane.

What are you talking about? He was right in almost every way! >.>
If it wasn't for those damn communists he everything would have been fine. Eyup, totally fine.

There are a couple of each of those clinging on in the wild wastes of R&P if you care to brave that land, though they grow rarer each day as PFL and Xanthious's recent bans proved. [user]Overhead[/user] is your man though if you want a real old school Marxist

 

[Mr F.]

Huh

I seem to be a hell of a lot further to the left and further down than the majority of you. Although I have noticably drifted towards Authoritarianism. I guess it is because I accept that one of the key benefits of a one party state is things are faster. And that sometimes military action that is illegal under international law is justified. Srebrenica being a case and point.

Would it surprise anyone to find out that I am a Marxist? Heh. Somewhat of a social libertarian. Hell, I am everything people like Romney fear.

Well educated liberal atheist intellectual that loves communism.

EDIT: I think it is about time I went over to R&P. Based on one of t'other posts, it seems Marxists are lacking. And I have little better to do with my time.

So many people in the green.

So many people in the green, and all the actual politicians are in the blue. Dammit, politics!

Not to mention that a lot of politics (at least in america) is now basically, "I'm democrat!" or "I'm Republican!"

 

[Feylynn]

I wasn't going to post anything out of laziness but after seeing that first page I'll at least chime in that I am in that very creepy green, left-libertarian area apparently.
I wonder if there is a pattern forming here.

 

[Orks da best]

Well like most people here I'am the green side, but I am near the center...

-1.38
-1.74

hmmmmmmmm.

And they're both the same thing. :/ http://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2012
