    This has probably been done before, but I just want to see what the political leaning of people posting in AH today is

    There's always lots of threads about stringing scummers up by the nuts and there's usually a few people that would be against that

    So lets see what the average is

    Test is here - http://www.politicalcompass.org/test (only takes a few minutes)

    Then post a screenshot of the resulting graph - 35kleo6.png

    Some of the staple principles are Lower taxes, brutalize criminals, legalize all drugs, hang bono. It's a funny mish mash at the best of times.

    In a nuthshell : To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

    Some of the staple principles are Lower taxes, brutalize criminals, legalize all drugs, hang bono. It's a funny mish mash at the best of times.

    .... and for the most part that all this should be achieved with without any effort ... and this even goes as far to actually voting.

    We should join a club or something!

    Its funny. I would never have put myself in the same boat as Gandhi, but there I am. Peace! :D

    That's why I posted the link to a test :p

    Most people here seem to be all over the place depending on what they're posting about, so a standardised set of questions is probably the only way to find out

    I always though AH's stance was

    "The Government are ****ing idiots,"

    Who 'the Government' are, depends on who won the last election.

    Pretty much here I thought I'd wind up: sharing space with Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, My Name Is URL and the Dalai Lama...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I think, if you take the death-penalty questions out of it, most people would be. No one wants to see corporations taking control of economics at the cost of culture; and everyone, I presume, would allow everyone else as much social freedom as reponsibly possible.

    It'd be interesting to see a "national average" from the height of the boom, compared to one now.

    Hmm. When it says "our race," does it mean blacks vs whites or humans vs giraffes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    Yeah me and Ghandi are tight politicalcompass.jpg

    I'm surprised, I thought I would have been a bit more right-wing given some of the answers

    blacks vs whites = race

    Did you move it or just report it?

    It doesn't belong here anyway, should any thread with a link in it go here?

    edit/ Better for seeing people's results though, I guess :o

    Yeah, stupid question. It was only when I got a little further in that I realised that a lot of the questions really were as leading as that one.

    Ah well. I ended up in the green box, not quite the centre of it, a little north-east of that. Funny. I thought I was more authoritarian than that. Surely an internet test can't be lying to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 365 ✭✭Dubs


    funny how everyone has been in the green so far

    Probably because it's an American test.. if you don't agree with the Death Penalty you're automatically a Communist

    You forgot "Im not racist but (TM) arent these Muslims frightfully dreadful...."

    Most people here seem to be all over the place depending on what they're posting about

    Ive been variously accused of being a loonie leftie, a right wing bigot and a bleeding heat liberal from which I can only conclude that Im probably boringly dead centre ?
    Probably because it's an American test.. if you don't agree with the Death Penalty you're automatically a Communist

    Josef Stalin and Chairman Mao being well known for their outright opposition to the Death penelty ?

    I didn't take a screenshot - I double-clicked on the picture and clicked "open image in new tab" and took the URL from there.
