Political Compass Thread
>>729339998
cant be arsed to take tht fuckin test again, but i usually score (-4,-2), moderate left/libertarian
>>729340200
there's only two genders
>>729340258
By the way, where did this "Libertarian left are gay druggies" meme come from?
>>729340521
Because they support gay rights and weed. That's it. The only reason that the purple is not involved is because the green likes to suck the governments dick.
Not even white.
'sup
>>729340944
respect..
>>729340838
>because the green likes to suck the governments dick
Well that's what whole left-wing is all about
>>729341519
Exactly, that's why I'm a proud purple fag

Glad to see one of my fellow brothers here. Mind posting your compass?

>>729341781
>>729341888
hello purple brethren
>>729339998
Don't want to find the pic. I'm center left (0,-4/-5).
MAGA!
>>729341939
Hello to you too.
>being anything but green
Wat me prise ^-^
>>729342941
Security in the knowledge that you're not a complete faggot.
>>729343026
About the faggot part._.
>>729339998
Communism is green and antivax is more popular in the green than in the purple or blue quadrants.
>>729343272
Well, I did say you're not a COMPLETE faggot. You can still be 99 percent.
>>729340946
No faggot, a socialist revolution and the abolition of money is not gonna work.
>>729343410
^-^ yay
how to people actually score upper right? it's like you aren't even human anymore
>i already know what i am: libertarian
people of the left thinks i'm a capitalistic brown-nosed, neo-nazi that rapes babies and make soap from their dead bodies.
people on the right thinks i'm a filthy communist scumbag, nigger-lover & muslim apologist.
all i really care about are three things
>living my life as i please
>the freedom to defend it
>not caring about who will build the roads
The state should only control the entities which can ruin the most lives.
I.E. Corporations
>>729343921
most people would find this to be true. not sure if i'd go that far left and liberal tho
>>729343921
>trusting the government to reliably run a corporation
"No"
>>729344125
I don't think he meant controlling directly, just preventing abuse of power. Could be wrong here.
>>729344094
Dear lord man you're quite literally nearly Hitler
>>729343602
Same can be said about the lower left.
>>729344168
Regulatory control. I apologize for miscommunication.
Otherwise I'd be an authoritarian left. Gross.
>>729343921
actually, i'ts the consumer that controls the corporations, not the other way around. no one is forcing you to buy anything.
>>729344242
Seems reasonable.
Side question based on where you landed, between only the two main US presidential hopefuls, who did you hope would win and why?
>>729344072
Mostly I just think we should be able to do whatever drugs we want and fuck however we want. I'm also pretty pro-guns.
I think free-markets would lead to Feudalism. McDonald's Army and the BK Brigade raising levies to take the KFC wasteland.
>>729344313
This is not entirely true. While yes we don't *need* things like clean water and electricity to live, it is needed for a "normal" life.
Take hospitals for example. They can charge insane prices, because people "can't" turn them down or shop around.
>>729344313
When nearly every product is a subsidiary of some mega-corp, voting with your dollars is hard unless you live in an area with a shit load of local artisans and whatnot.
Moderate left-libertarian. Sounds about right.
>>729344338
Between the two main US Presidential hopefuls, I hoped a nuclear winter would occur and neither would take office.
That being said, I expected Hillary to cave under popular opinion and at least do some progressive policy work while fucking us over in other ways. Donald is looking out for his corporate buddies because loosening regulations enriches him and his family, too.
Slight ashamed of my result. Whip me 4chan, Ive let you down :(
>>729344670
Oh, and Donald Trump is seriously ignorant and doesn't wish to learn. He's content to sit back and let the people who bought positions within his cabinet to do the major policy work.
>>729344215
i agree. most same people should score somewhere near the middle i think. and from there, whatever square they might fall in are just their political beliefs, if they are left or right. then again, this is just a dumb chart made by a few people, so its no way to judge people or identify your own political standing
>>729344670
Mostly true. One thing I do like is, while he is lowing taxes, he also (claims, we'll see) to be cutting loopholes that lets him and other get taxed at 15-25% anyway. And once those are closed a dem can get back into office and raise taxes.
For me I just can't stand SJW pandering. I want a democrat to say "islamic terrorism, race isn't a major issue in the US, nor is sexisim". As someone who scored similar to you on the compass, I don't want to keep voting for reds.
>>729344758
how can one person be so centrist??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ussCHoQttyQ
>>729344485
they charge insane prices because the market is regulated by various means, instead of being free.
>competition = lower prices
>regulation = higher prices
http://spekr.org Is superior
>>729345201
>>729339998
Huh, ok.
>>729345242
>>729345201
OP here, more spekr shit
>>729345358
>>729345069
I think it's probably because I have radical views from all directions. I think the market should be as free as possible, but I also think corporations need to be regulated for the longterm interests of the people. I think that the government should have no say in who/what you can/can't fuck, but at the same time I'm 100% against all abortions. My political views are fucked.
Why must me fellow gheys be lazy pigs who want the government to provide everything provide everything:c
>>729345058
I'm honestly a bit more socialist and like redistribution. Taxes are at an all time low. Of course, wages have stagnated so bad that most Americans have trouble with taxes. I know the rich are already contributing a significant amount (in comparison to us peasants) but many are able to claim massive and end up paying effective rates that are near to or lower than those earning significantly less.
Of course, if we slashed military spending and stopped being the world police and trying to develop new weapons while weapons that aren't even remotely obsolete sit unused, raising taxes probably wouldn't be as necessary. I'd like to pay down the debt a little, though, so raising revenue and cutting spending in the forms of corporate subsidies and military spending would be nice.

>>729345200
But how can you compete? Shit happens, you go to the nearest one. You don't shop around.
Same with the internet. ISPs have a deal with one another to keep service shit among other things. It costs literally millions (close to hundreds) to break into the market. How the fuck will there be competition there?
>>729345069
I have an idea. Try to find one standard view (left libertarian, statism, conservatism, libertarianism) and stick to that belief. You'll be surprised how far away you end up from the center.
>>729344415
i agree with fucking whoever we want. thats what condoms, birth control, etc. are for. however, i differ with you on the drugs. it might reduce crime, but to legalize all drugs would be a minor disaster due to the addictive nature and side affects. many people would shouldn't have been drug addicted would become addicts, which would lead to a decline in productiveness, a danger to the general population, as well as the destruction of family dynamic, which in my opinion, is almost as bad as literally separating a family from one another. hard drugs are awful, and i think there is a reason they are illegal. that being said, illegal marijuana is absolute nonsense. as for the free markets leading to feudalism,.. i'm not seeing it quite yet. perhaps give the right a bit of time to see how their time of power plays out. i am an idiot though. just giving my opinion
>>729345547
I agree with all of that. I just feel the political censorship and misinformation(Google, for example, nor relies on politifact and snopes to "fact check" searches).
I'm also a nationalist (which people confuse with isolationist for some reason). But I am that way for the same reason I support the EPA. I don't want to see things go extinct. I don't want global cultural homogenization. I like global diversity, in race and culture.
>Yes, even the (((them)))
>>729339998
This shit is so fucking stupid, I've been seeing a shit ton of profile pictures on youtube with these fucking things on it
>>729345576
if we both have a private practice, who a mostly similar, except yours is somewhat cheaper, where do you think most people will go for common health issues?
and internet is both common & cheap. the big thing right now is internet services: streaming media, vpn, gaming. if you think it's to expensive, look around for something cheaper.
>>729346121
Is this private practice a hospital? Because if someone is dying they'd to to the closest one ffs. We aren't talking about a gas station or something.
Internet in the US is some of the worst in the world, and some of the most expensive.
i wonder what y'allanswered to this one
also I'm moderate-libertarian left
>>729345300
Pinochet did nothing wrong! GTFO lazy faggot

Communism is red. The only form of communism you'll find in the green is Chomskyan anarcho communism, like >>729340946 here.
What a waste of time that was...
cbf filling in the survey again since my internet keeps cutting out and reconnecting but I normally land comfortably in the blue zone

More like pic related.
I'm >>729346545, btw.
>>729346451
Libertarian right wing here, we agree on astrology and morality, but I answered "agree" for charity, "agree" for unlucky people, and "strongly disagree" on religious values and children.
>>729346668
This was a much more extreme result than I get on the usual test.
>>729346863
Hell yeah, anon
>>729346545
No faggot, communism is green because Marx was anti-state.
Am I a centrist still?
>>729346892
Wtf. What kind of a rational person believes in luck?
>>729346908
Same, I took the test and got middle purple (pure libertarian) and I was farther bottom right in the spekr.
>>729345358
>>729345402
>>729346863
>>729346451
I put agree for the unlucky one (I'm >>729346821)

>anarcho communism
Pure meme.
>>729347088
Really? I've always considered myself more of a minarchist, though I'd probably be an ancap if anarchy had any chance of working as intended in the real world. Usually I'm much closer to the middle, >>729342592 is me.
>>729347153
Liberal as in free to do whatever the fuck. Not liberal as in "EVERYTHING IS OFFENSIVE."
>>729346988
Because some people are seemingly able to reach those smaller probability events and encounters than others. I don't necessarily think a bunch of superstitious crap though can automatically ruin or improve your shit because a guy in a robe on the street gave you a laminated placard for six bucks but I'm not gonna rule out it's existence in some form or another.
>>729347235
Agreed
>>729347225
They aren't far off from each other really, I suppose that could be minarchist.
>>729347235
>free to do what you want unless you don't like yer taxes, then you can fuck right off or cough up dough to the state.
>>729347297
If there's a 0.1% chance in succeeding in something, and only 0.1% of people do succeed in that, it doesn't make the 99.9% unlucky, nor does it make the 0.1% lucky. It's just statistics. It would be absurd to claim that all born people are lucky since the vast majority of sperm end up on tissues.
I don't understand
>>729347590
Luck and statistics go hand in hand, niggy. Well, depending on which aspects.
>>729347590
>>729347297
And I would like to add that of course you can use the word luck in spoken language as a kind of a metaphor. But when valuating philosophical/political thoughts/theories, I think it's important to use apt terminology.
>>729347675
How is this considered progressive....
>>729347555
Well, unless you can get around using our infrastructure and government services everyday, taxes are going to be levied, Mr. Taxation is Theft.
You go move out into the woods (I support methods of living off the land, for instance) and grow all your own food and arrange for all resources to be brought in by air or some shit, and you are free to not pay a single tax.
>>729347843
That depends
>>729348216
I mushed a bunch of these together a few months ago. Here's the one I made from /b/

What's the worst they can do, kill me for having an opinion? It's not like I have all that much to live for.
>>729353413
Kill you? If they kill you they have nothing to control.
People think their personal beliefs have no value, but the exact opposite is true.
