    I'm on the left but my desire for tighter border controls and less free trade makes me a knuckle dragging racist trump supporter.

    🙈🙉🙊

    I'm a centrist that borrows from both worlds.

    I'm slightly left libertarian apparently. I have always been told I'm pretty right wing. Odd that.

    Although I'd fancy myself as having been a bit more right wing, maybe thats literally what a Nazi would say though.

    Feck, Left Libertarian, I wanted to be more fascist.

    Unless you fully support corporations having free reign, you come out a lefty on those tests

    Not a great test really but I guess it came up with the correct leaning in the end.

    I'm a chainsaw-wielding, crazed baby-murdering, fanatical Nazi. In my defence I do only murder crazed babies. But on weekends, I'm a thoughtful, centre-Right sort of blokey-chap with a mainly live-and-let-live approach.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,907 ✭✭✭Stevieluvsye


    They try these type of nonsense tests in corporate "training" days

    You'll have the most timid thing afraid to look you in the eye and she comes out scoring as "Passive aggressive"

    Waste of time

    In Soviet Russia, you define tests.

    The crazed baby population does need to be controlled so you are doing us all a favour there.

    I don't see how any reasonable person who's seen "Children Of The Corn" could come to any other conclusion, to be perfectly straight with you. Enda Kenny also thought so.

    The political compass test is pointless. You just come out on the left if you want any kind of regulations.

    Politiscales is somewhat better https://www.politiscales.net/

    117 questions though.

    Google says lots of people get rightwing results on politicalcompass. Lots of people believe businesses shoupdn't be regulated. Our own government gives exemptions to polluters beside schools, declines to restrict coal and turf bans, defies the EU to destroy bogs, decline a to properly tax corporations... they are more right-wing than any respondents here.

    These are the equivalent of Buzzfeed quizzes for online politics bores.

    I've been told I'm becoming more radical the older I'm getting, and I'm a lefty, so I dunno

    It's based on US politics, where if you're not forelock tugging to the market and billionaires you're a goddamned commie.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Me and ghandi are roughly the same person aparantly.
    Did you know he wouldn’t let his wife take anti biotics because it was English medicine and thought water from the Ganges river was the only medicine she needed. She died.

    Later he got sick and decided maybe it’s ok to have a little penicillin.

    Legend.

    Yeah I've definitely slid to the right, but that still means left of centre as I used to be extremely left-wing.

    Thatcher contributed to protecting the environment by closing coal mines and banning CFCs. But she also helped Pol Pot wipe out 2 million people.
