It put me about where the political compass does.

I took the indepth one (153 questions)

"Different countries and cultures have different preferences for the type of government."

Who disagrees with this?

yeah that was a weird question.

They might have meant "should have different"

I was expecting Libertarian Socialist or even Anarcho-communism so Syndicalism is a little interesting. I disagree with it for a few reasons, but I think part of the reason I got it is because there's quite a few leading questions which shift you one way or another? Not quite as well done as the other tests by the same person, although I'm sure they'll adjust it if it's a totally new one

Closest Match: Progressivism
Progressivism is a political philosophy in support of social reform, and is based on the idea of progress and modernity.

I guess I'm more transhumanist than primitivist which apparently is a conservative thing?

Lol, like 90% of people posting their results score socialist/authoritative leaning. Sounds about right for this sub.

Why dont we page all the mods in here and see where they stand? That can help us get a good feel for their biases when moderating stuff.

---

What is paleoconservatism anyways? Im curious what woulda got me that one lil blip.

I normally fall into the center/center-left realm and I always get called a 'trumper,' 'far-rightist' etc.

Paleoconservatism is a political philosophy and variety of conservatism in the United States stressing American nationalism, Christian ethics, regionalism and traditionalist conservatism. Paleoconservatism's concerns overlap with those of the Old Right that opposed the New Deal in the 1930s and 1940s[1] as well as with paleolibertarianism[2][3] and right-wing populism.[4]

Hmmm

It's going to become a core issue within the next decade or two.

I dont see why not upgrading your brain would be a benifit to any government...think it was mainly there to seperate syndicalism from marxism/comunism/socialism

Hmmm

Onlya thing i can think of that would lead to that is the one talking about regional blocks like the EU...I think things like that are good NAFTA totally shoulda been one...hell i like the new deal think we need another.

It could be seen as 'easier' to control people with lesser intelligence.

Actually looking at the map and what it said my closest match was makes no sense

It said my closest match was Georgism but a lot of my circles over lap in Distributism and Social Democracy.

Georgism is slight right libertarian, per the map.

Thats why you leave it only in the hands of the government, the normals can have gene modification. :3

Omfg I did it

Uhhh it's more like 90% libertarian leaning. And the test itself seems more geared toward scoring further in the auth direction.

Hello fellow liberals

got Georgism on the shorter one. might do the longer one later

Next Matches: Libertarian Socialism, Social Democracy




Lot of questions were weird but the results seem accurate enough. Surprised I'm more authoritarian than I thought I'd score.

---

Closest Match: Centrism / Others
Centrism is a political position that supports a balance between left-leaning and right-leaning policies. This option could also show up if there isn't an ideology for your results.

Distributism on the heat map

---

Might do this later.

tag for later

<img src="//:0">

what a weird test. it also told me i most closely matched classical marxism, but the heat map isnt even touching it

---

I guess CE will hate me for being a centrist

^Be strong, Brother.

What's with all of the transhumanism questions? We aren't living in 2077....

Why is "aggression" misspelled as "agression" everywhere?

Not a fan of most of the questions and felt like it was painting issues in black and white.

Closest Match: Social Democracy

*schedules this*

Y'know I did think that was really weird. Especially considering that it isn't even really a hot topic in political discourse, nor is it central to any of the ideologies listed on that chart.

yeah that primitivism vs transhumanism stuff seems pretty irrelevant for the most part
