Political Compass Thread

[MaC]

does anyone on this site actually register as a economic left and social right (populist) as accoriding to this scale?

Social -3.08
Economic +6.38

Both are more outward from center than last time.

I have a question about the compass.

"Some people are naturally unlucky"

What does this have to do with anything? Is there a liberal or conservative response to it?  and if so, How would it be a liberal or conservative response?

Well, the test is extremely flawed.  I was talking about this with Gabu the other day.  Some of the questions are so poorly worded that if you think about them, they don't even make sense.  Not to mention that the test thinks belief in astology makes you more authoritarian.

Anyway, think about this one: "I'd always support my country, whether it was right or wrong."  Who defines whether it's wrong to support the country?  The person does?  Then, if they define it as wrong, why would they continue supporting their country?  That question is truly assinine.

I agree.  They're probably just weight questions to make someone sound like they're more/less extreme.

Ah very good. If we could only due this to everyone in the United States we libertarians would rule the country. *insert evil laugh here*
