'There's no point voting for anyone other than the main two parties' is a self-fulfilling prophecy, unfortunately.lax4life said:And people at my school wonder why I got mad that Gary Johnson didn't get 5% of the vote.In Search of Username said:And they're both the same thing. :/ http://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2012lax4life said:Not to mention that a lot of politics (at least in america) is now basically, "I'm democrat!" or "I'm Republican!"In Search of Username said:So many people in the green, and all the actual politicians are in the blue.

It was a long a different road coming here. A year ago I'd still be a regular libertarian. And two years before that I'd still be a statist democrat. An-cap is a hard philosophy to teach, the moment you drop the words anarchy you instantly get hammed with "but everyone will have guns and there won't be any roads!" -smh-Shycte said:Kurt Cristal said:Sesquame said:

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.

Objectivists are very right-wing economically but socially permissive, since they basically believe in minimum government interference in everything. I wish the media would separate right and left views into economic and social like the political compass does rather than categorising them all as "left" or "right" as people can be left for one and right for the other!T0ad 0f Truth said:That place is scary... but I'll try :|JoJo said: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.

Wait wasn't Xanthious an Objectivist? Do they even fit into the traditional Uber Rightwingsim?
...Also my spell check tries to correct my made up "Rightwingism" word as Frightening. Truly computers are gaining sentience XD

http://www.politicalcompass.org/ukparties2010 But at least a bit more variety than there is in the US, I suppose. Also on that page, looking at the Labour Party on that 'How the parties have shifted' thing is really depressing.
I was looking at the Australian page to see where I lined up and found that the greens were the closest to me [http://www.politicalcompass.org/aus2010], which really weirded me out, since I've never considered myself to be associated with them.In Search of Username said:I'm from the UK, it's really not much different, honestly.SL33TBL1ND said:Just goes to show how right-wing the US is compared to the rest of the world, eh?In Search of Username said:And they're both the same thing. :/ http://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2012lax4life said:Not to mention that a lot of politics (at least in america) is now basically, "I'm democrat!" or "I'm Republican!"In Search of Username said:So many people in the green, and all the actual politicians are in the blue.
