Was my first thought as well.  :laugh:  :laugh:

If we're sharing results, the "worst" you can be is the polar opposite of me Kev  :laugh:  :abbath:
Left/right -8
Lib/auth -6.46

Thing is though, and kinda my point, is that with how liberal I am on free speech, etc., despite being hardline left-wing, I've been called right wing loads of times. Fuckin' authoritarians!

Maybe we should add these values to our profiles. Might lead to less misunderstandings :laugh:

Lads, we're all centrists and we don't know it

Your Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.74

What does that mean?

Your resident Reichsführer SS results are in -

Economic Left/Right -0.63
Libertarian/Authoritarian 2.87

It seems I'm more moderate than the rest of ye :)

If I'm reading it correctly you're a lefty woke cunt  :laugh:

I actually got about the same. Not as far left on economic but more left on social.

I told ye I was a lefty all along and no one believed me!!  :laugh:  :abbath:

This is the thing to get though ollkiller, the thing that hasn't sunk into the collective consciousness; the vertical has nothing to do with left or right. Someone like Ron Paul, or a crypto bro, could be all the way down the bottom on the vertical, yet very right wing on the horizontal. Whereas North Korea, say, is way to the left economically, but up top for authoritarianism. It's this blending together of largely independent slices of life in society that can have someone who thinks Dave Chapelle should be censored or jailed call me "right wing". And the problem is that then people start thinking, "Well, maybe I am right wing!" because they feel so strongly about free speech, but actually it's got nothing to do with their left-right politics. Pretty amazing what an extra dimension can bring to the table.

Economic Left/Right: -7.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.28

Lol

Everyone thinks that they are right. It's a useless measure for coordinating society, and more often results in authoritarianism than freedom.



Some questions could have been worded better and some lacked nuance but fun to give you a ballpark. I remember doing that same test 15 odd years ago, wish I remembered the results to compare to my youthful self.
