Right of Left?


No enlightened centrist option. Literally everyone is an inclination, as slight as it may be.

Most issues I lean fairly left, but immigration and guns in probably slightly right. Only say slightly cause there's some real nutty farther right opinions for those.

Hey me too. I don't need a fucking assault rifle (and neither does anyone not in the millitary) but a small hand-gun for self defense is fine.

I don't give a shit about left or right. I can look at an issue and form my own opinion without caring about what a larger group may be conforming to. The world needs more Independents and less idiots who just agree with whatever party they've decided to align themselves with.

The older (and wiser) I get, the more I lean left.

The right doesn't provide any solutions. Absolutely none. The left might not be perfect, but at least they try to solve problems. They care about all people, especially those who need support the most. They fight for a good cause.

The only right leaning bone in my body is probably the fact that I'm in the military, which is traditionally seen as a conservative institution/where you don't expect to find a leftist.

I'm not as hard-line in my beliefs as your typical online leftist but I'm definitely not whatever the American Right is or is shaping up to be

It really depends on the country, some have left leaning millitaries.

Also I'd like to compare these results to the results in my other poll.

It's easy to figure out. Do you like policies that put power into the hands of the many? Then you are left. Do you like policies that put power into the hands of the few? Then you are right.

Left

I used to be center but there is no center in America. There's a left-leaning party (kinda) and a white supremacist party. My apologies if you don't see that, but the evidence is just too overwhelming. Moderate conservatives are being overrun by people in their party who want fascism.

No, that's the authoritarian aspect of politics. There's plenty of examples in 2022 of governments who are left and are very authoritarian.

Eh, IMO America has a far right party and a center right party. Sanders was the closest you've got to someone who's actually left of center lately.

Not really, no. "Authoritarian" as a function of its own axis is merely a propaganda piece to muddy the waters. It's the same reason that gun supporting is viewed as right-wing yet historically it would be pretty far-left: Nixon-era dankery was very bad for the left-right metric.

I think this is a silly question because you can probably show someone is more conservative or liberal than they think themselves to be.

TC you need to apply liberal or conservative to a specific thing and you have already said there is an authoritarian element.

If you do in fact want to cater to a base you plan their life out for them to some degree. Whether you want to apply that liberally, to different areas and degrees, or conservatively, is probably what I would base my answer on.

But I actually look to you to make these topics, so I'm more interested in talking about the subject rather than just aligning with one side.

Do we just skip to the part where you rattle off things you agree/disagree with for both sides and the things you disagree with the left on are hilarious stereotypes pushed by the right?

Propaganda by who? Do you believe all authoritarian governments are right wing then?
Specifically who actually funded all of the changes? No clue. Popularized by? David Nolan. Prior to the Nolan Chart, now known as the political compass (though considerably less white-washed in its modern form), "libertarian" was a term used as the name for a group of French communists and "authoritarian" was used explicitly to refer to governments that took power away from the people (and not "there is literally no government" as it is commonly thought of today... once again, something that can be traced directly back to Nolan). This is part of the reason that communism was considered so hard to pin down as you have the effectively-fascist versions that came about in Russia and China while on the flip side you had the definition coming from a manifesto that was very clearly leftist (stuff like "has no state" and "has no currency" being very clearly as far from authoritarian/right as was possible). It is also why there was a large number of people espousing "no true communism" as none of the implementations even slightly resembled The Communist Manifesto, which was viewed as a form of definition for the governmental type (in what I will personally call "the communist paradox" as I don't believe there is any real term for it).

This is also why there is some heavy double-think when it comes to social versus economic choices in the standard political climate despite the fact that every choice can always be boiled down to an economic one (specifically "does this consolidate wealth in a smaller group in the long run", with "no" always being something attributed to the left and "yes" always being something attributed to the right). Splitting them up was the only way for Nolan to make his chart have a "lack of government" section for his ur-conservative party.

That's why I added "kinda" in parenthesis. America's definition of left is a bit different from the rest of the world's. Blame Cold War fearmongering which suggested that being the slightest bit left invariably resulted in Stalinist communism.
