Which 3 forum members are you politically closest to?

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Ok so which three members of this forum are you closest politically to?

1 SADM: He's slightly less free market than me but is otherwise very close to me in political beliefs

2 NDN: He's a bit more free market and pro-civil liberties than me but on other issues he's often very close to me.

3 Everett: I'm less free market and more hardline on national security but she's the closest in the bottom right quadrant.

WTF. Why Harry? You're too socially liberal. I'd say Elbowed.

Harry and Scoonie are both way to your right.

[Sensei]

Gabu, Verin, Harry

[Sam Spade]

Probably no one right now.  Connect me with some poster who can see things without a totally skewed left-wing prism and you're correct.

[AkSaber]

The closest to me probably are NDN and Straha. Libertarian-leaning bisexuals.

Seriously, I think DanielX, SPC, and David S are closest to me.

[Gabu]

Well, I don't own a skewed left-wing prism, but I bet you could buy one for a pretty penny on eBay.

No problem. You should chat with Robert Stark. You guys actually have pretty similar PM scores.

DanielX is way to rightwing on social and foreign policy issues for you I would think.

Also Straha and NDN are both bisexual? I tought NDN was completely gay and Straha was straight.

NDN is bi. I just put down his name because in the US at least most people don't make a distinction between being gay/bi. Also I've said a few times here that I do indeed go both ways.

Which shows why the PM is a load of garbage.  For example, you're PM score is a good bit to the left of Scoonie, but yet you're much more reasonable than he is.

A woman certainly would make that distinction.

You can be leftist and reasonable.

Hmmm. I'm not entirely sure about his foreign policy views. I think Fezzy is closer to me in regards to foreign policy. But I think Daniel is closer to me with gun control, abortion.

Also Straha and NDN are both bisexual? I tought NDN was completely gay and Straha was straight.

Yup, both are. Me, NDN, and Straha.... the libertarian-leaning bisexuals of the Atlas.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Indeed.

[Everett]

Considering just how little information the Political Matrix conveys regarding my actual economic beliefs (which are all over the place), I find it thoroughly laughable -- not to mention insulting -- that Straha wants to think that we are similar politically. I could pull any random person off the street, have him or her take the Political Matrix test, find that our scores are close in proximity, and still have an endless torrent of arguments.

Jesus and Alcon both come to mind. We actually talk about politics with each other on a regular basis, so I know for a fact that we are similar. I wouldn't know who to name as the third person, and obviously I wouldn't figure that out simply by opening the Political Matrix map and finding the three posters within the smallest ε-neighbourhood of my own score. Gabu and I have many similarities also; I can't think of a time when we really, really disagreed with each other, which is quite surprising given the variety of topics which we discuss.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

I talk to NDN/SADM about politics and that's where I get the conclusion. Also you're very socially liberal AND fasically conservative on average(note that I say on average not completely) along with what I've seen of your foreign policy stances(I'm not zionist/pro-israel like Aksaber or DanielX).

[NDN]

Judging from the posts I've seen I'd say Afleitch, Straha, and Padfoot.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

It's foreign policy that NDN and I disagree on. Namely: him being wrong and me being right.

[NDN]

sane.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Please NDN, "sanity" on foreign policy as defined by acceptable left/right political opinion will lead to nothing good. Either endless neocon wars or craven submission to islam or some sort of corporatized/socialist world government. Damn straight I'm insane. Better insanity than any of the 3 epic fail possible paths from the acceptable political spectrum

[MODU]

Gee, I'm not too sure.  If I had to make a guess, I would probably say people like Frodo, Dibble, and Phillip.  Hard to say since I stradle the lines.

No clear idea.. any suggestions?
