Languish Political Compass 2020 edition

[dps]

2.0;  -0.31

Less right but also less libertarian than in past runs.   

A lot of the questions just sucked.

[Camerus]

Seemed rather dated and vague. Some of the questions appear to have been lifted verbatim from Adorno's authoritarian personality test from the '40's (which was itself of dubious usefulness).

Nevertheless:

[Josquius]

They do seem to define right wing as 'are you a dick?'.

[DGuller]

A lot of awful questions.  One particular problem is that there is no distinction between idealism and pragmatism.  Yes, I'm sure almost everyone agrees that global economy should serve the people rather than "multinational corporations".  The question that separates the left and the right is what should be done to bring that about.

[Zanza]

Lower left, roughly where Maladict is.

[frunk]

Yeah - Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

Highly recommended - I think it's available streaming. A parody of 80s sci-fi/horror TV with sort of talking heads interviews from the writer/actor (Garth Marenghi) and rest of the cast. It's very good.

I watched it on Youtube a few years ago.

[Richard Hakluyt]

-5.5, -7.08; in the green quadrant like nearly everyone else 

[katmai]

Bunch of commie pinkos.

Since I don't have Medicare for all I guess I have to. 

[Malthus]

Deep in the Green with the rest of you.

Seems all of us are really the same, politically. 

[Barrister]

I felt bad when I saw how centrist it put me, but then compared to you bunch of pinkos...



Agreed not great questions.

[Valmy]

I've gone and become a leftist

My theory is that I've been standing still and the divide has moved.

This is almost exactly where I am and where I have always been.



Though I do hate "should" questions in politics. I mean there is a difference between "in a perfect world this should happen" and "should this be allowed to happen if people agree to do it and under certain circumstances?"

[Habbaku]

I hate these quizzes, but I always end up deep in the right side of the purple.
