Political Compass (2022)

[Joshy 4,297 / 42,749]

Liloz had the fun idea that we revisit this topic since it's been a couple of years.  It's a lot of questions but just multiple choice... agree... disagree...  on things like political/social topics, and religion.  Kind of fun because I'll be clicking on things going "Oh yeah I definitely agree to that", and then I'm like... "Hrmm... well... if... this... if... okay... maybe not strongly agree, but agree... nah, I disagree now that I think about it lolz."

Hmmm.  Fun idea, but looks like I haven't changed too much lol 😛   Maybe you have or haven't?  Maybe the people who are currently in the community see things a different way this year too.  Who knows?  Help me find out.

 

 

Here's the old topic if you'd like a look

I took the political compass test. I’m surprised it put me in the center (gross, a centrist). I figured I’d be more right leaning. But the far left and far right views I have create a median center.

Eh, it's fine to be close to the center. You're in the Authoritarian-Right category, and you're not alone in being there (Though I happened to see that you accidentally put your vote in the Libertarian-Right category in the poll at the top of the post).

Communist spotted.

 

Unironically I am very upset that GFL has allowed so many leftists to overwhelming represent the community. We seem to be a community that is all about diversity of everything except political opinions.

I actively seek out people who disagree with me more than people who agree with me. Most of my college friends are left leaning. I find that political discussion where you are being challenged and are challenging other's ideas is the best way to learn about differing perspectives and how to develop a more well rounded political basis.

 

I derive all my political views from my high level application of my fundamental beliefs. There are very few beliefs I will not move on, and I work up from there. Most things can fall into a gray area of interpretations of my axioms, but I never want my surface level politics to be static.
