Political Compass Test

I wanted to see where I actually stood, so I looked up political tests and took one answering each question to the best of my abilities.

Maybe this test isn't perfect, maybe there is a better test (Link one if you have one)

Figured it would be interesting to see how others score on this test, why not

And liberals keep telling me I'm a fascist

edit: it's weird the picture doesn't show the same graph I had my compass was;

Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -0.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.82

I sincerely believe that the people we argue with the most will have similar scores on this same test.

idk maybe, but I tend to think the left has gone wayyyy too far to the left

edit: how do you deal with the image 0.o

The image I get displayed if I use copy image address and an image tag is different from the chart I see on the page. Strange.

lol

I'm mostly perceived as right-wing by some forum posters.

I feel like people that spout the typical left media talking points are actually less left on paper than they come through in forum posts.

Just like they think people who disagree with them are far right.

Maybe this can prove that we're actually all pretty alike and have common ground.

Should be unsurprising given most of my posting, really.

To make this post more interesting, a short history of my red dot's movement:

Started in the red section in high school and college. I genuinely thought that people were just refusing to help others because they were evil or religious or something and just needed to see "the truth". That we'd be able to reach a utopia if just a few more people understood.

Eventually realized the problems with authoritarianism in all forms -- the unwavering determination that people have, and their resistance to oppression. Slipped down from the red section into the green section. I realized that people can't be forced to do jack shit, but goddamn I wish they would. I wish people would care about their fellow man without it being financially optimal.

Eventually realized that "financially optimal" isn't a choice. Authoritarianism can't be trusted, and capitalism (for as fucked as it is), is both the system we're currently in and the only system that can exist without force.

For reference in the 2016 election, HRC is about +5 auth, -1 eco (vertically high, slightly red), DJT is about +5 auth, +1 eco (vertically high, slightly blue). I'm about equally far from both.

The only shit that they could agree on was that we desperately needed more domenstic surveillance. Fucked.

I got the same problem the image displayed in the forum is not what I got:


this is the one I ended up having: https://www.politicalcompass.org/chart?ec=-0.5&soc=-2.82

I took this one. More or less the same, but with better graphics.



Kinda exact, I guess. Tho it is hard to answer such complex questions, with a 1-4 scale. There are many buts & ifs...:

idk I on contraty think they are very far in the left.... but also very authoritarian



just add some questions such as:


Do you think it's ok to censor people who have ideas that you judge dangerous and innapropriate?

Do you think some people should be prevented to talk publicly?

Do you think it's ok to use physical violence to prevent some people to use what you consider hate speech?


and boom the currents liberals answers to these question make them very authoritarian.

Edit: oh another question

Do you think it's ok for the current president to cancel the results of the elections if he thinks the next president will be bad?
