Where are you on the Political Compass?

Quote by joe71

-6,-6, pretty close to a lot of the other people here.

Frankly, I'm surprised I didn't score a little more Libertarian on the Y axis, because I'm a pretty staunch civil libertarian. My score places me closer to Mandela than Chomsky, which surprises me a little, but I'm fine with landing somewhere between the two. I wonder who Rucker is?

Rucker is Darius Rucker, ex-Blowfish and famed political thinker.

I like to consider myself an anarchist in the sheets and a libertarian in the streets so no surprises here though this test was incredibly stupid and offensively narrow. Though no surprise I'm right there with daddy Chomsky, he's 93 and could still get it from me any time.

I never mix my politics with sex. Pleasure is more important than being right.

I don't know if the link will work, but:

It's not news to me, although it's drifted left and liberal over the last few years since I last took it (I used to hang out with Gandhi, now I'm knocking on Noam Chomsky's front door), and I attribute that to the growth of corporate greed and surveillance capitalism.

I know I'm more conservative now. It makes no sense but will retake this silly quiz hrs from now.

this is pretty much what other tests have said

Economic Left/Right: -6.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.15

Thanks for the polling question. It confirms what I suspected about me and members of the Lush community.

Intresting.

I assumed I would be just below central, but just in the right side, not left.

Politicians are like diapers they need to be changed regularly for the same reason. Political positions most often are based on illusions processed by elected officials who have no interest other than to get re-elected.

The survey is showing its age.

No shit Sherlock 😬

I did it but how does one post the results?

I really dislike negative statements like this one,

No one can feel naturally homosexual.

they are too ambiguous.

I may be the most right leaning, along with Ivanka

"Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races." As in, the human race in comparison to the reptiloids...?
What a weird little test. Has anyone tried to confuse the thing enough to hit the exact center?

My result is more or less as I expected it to be. Some if the questions really need a neutral option, but I suppose it is better if you are forced to take a position. I agree that race is a totally meaningless concept although I guess the question means ethnicity. We are all genetic variants of one species with over 99% genetic homogeneity (we share 96% of our genes with chimpanzees who our closest living evolutionary species). The degree of individual genetic variation within any of the accepted ethnic groups is greater than the mean variation between them, and you might as well discriminate between people on the basis of their tissue types or blood groups, in other words total bollocks.

I usually come out way down in the bottom left corner

Interesting exercise, thanks for linking to this! There are some I 'agreed' with that I would have phrased differently if discussing my opinion on a topic (especially the one about career and motherhood).

If I weren't such a legacy capitalist, I'd probably be a communist.

what is Obama considered authoritarian?

Left-wing, libertarian - of course, I would be; I am French. However, I am only a little left-wing, so be careful - socialists. 🤣

I am a true blue conservative. I believe in people working and earning whatever they need and want. I have no time for any benefits of any form being handed out to those that have not earned and earnt it. I have worked hard sll my life, why would I want to supplement those that do not work for what ever reason.

Because they may be valid reasons.

No surprise for me
