Where do you sit on the Political Compass? (3 Viewers)

[xMaNx]

I think it means you are generally more conservative and believe in 'individualism' rather than collectivism

this is true.

being in the lower left quadrant basically means that you think interfering in social issues is just awful and people should be free to act as they please (provided they aren't hurting anyone else)

oh but also btw its a-ok for the government to be partake in nation-wide extortion and this should be encouraged

 

[spiny norman]

Not really. It means that individuals should be free to act as they please on a social level, but on an economic level some people in society need government assistance to have anything close to an equal go, and that we shouldn't just have a society where the rich continue to get hideously wealthy unhindered while the lower classes rot away into poverty. You're entitled to your opinions that it's an ideal world wherein the wealthy continue to get wealthy and maybe the poor might get by but it doesn't really matter and disguise this as some cry of "freedom", but to try to play off those who don't share your opinion and have a social conscience as being hypocritical and partial to extortion is sheer ignorance at best.

seems about right

FYI this is a garbage test and many of the questions are plucked directly from Adorno's The Authoritarian Personality and the F-Scale, which was a test used to identify clandestine Nazis in post-war Germany. It is much harder to score in the Authoritarian/Right-economic quadrant than their opposites because most of the questions that identify you in these are of the kind that few right wingers would even pick. It's an absolute joke when it says that the Liberal/Labour party are that 'far right' on the authoritarian scale; it is very hard to score that far.

 

[LoveHateSchool]

Apparently.
Economic Left/Right: -4.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.36
So I ended up in the bottom left square.
I was near some pretty cool political figures lol, I was probably a little bit extreme with my strongly agrees and disagrees.

lol i know, don't they see the hypocrisy in there system

EDIT by in all seriousness people these days think freedom is good but anything to do with businesses getting their own way is bad. thus you have hypocritical left wing libertarians. product of left wing teacher in schools and the media XD

^ Because business has the best interests of society at heart and isn't just a medium allowing the rich to get richer, yo. When business gets their way, they get tax cuts and free reign to fuck up the planet. The reason socialist libertarians are 'hypocritical' in that sense is because business and the vast majority of people have completely opposing interests. For example, what is good for a worker is not good for an employer, and vice versa. And thus, when it comes down to it, the rights of business owners to maximise their profit margins at our expense is less important than the rights of the individual.
