Economic Axis: Socialist, 89.0%

Shocking, just shocking.

[CID1990]

It's a lot longer, but I personally enjoy this "test" a little more due to the detail:

https://8values.github.io/

Mine:

Overall: Libertarian Socialism

Economic Axis: Socialist, 89.0%

Diplomatic Axis: Internationalist, 78.7%

Civil Axis: Libertarian, 80.4%

Societal Axis: Revolutionary, 94.7%

Another interesting test...again, with some poorly worded questions, but here's mine:

Economic Axis: Centrist: 40.9% Equality/59.1% Markets
Diplomatic Axis: Patriotic: 64.9% Nation/35.1% World
Civil Axis: Moderate: 55.4% Liberty/44.6% Authority
Societal Axis: Neutral: 47.0% Tradition/53.0% Progress

Interesting. Centrist. Moderate. Neutral. Trips words are socialist, revolutionary....yet I'M somehow the one who's a danger to the world.

Nobody here is extreme on either axis - except Treep, who is down in the bottom left corner

If my results were a pitch, it would be a fat fastball down the middle of the plate.

Economic Axis: Centrist
Diplomatic Axis: Balanced
Civil Axis: Moderate
Societal Axis: Neutral

Economic Left/Right: 0.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64

You know, I don't think they asked the same questions they asked last time we went through this.

I was thinking the exact same thing (I took it probably 3 or 4 years ago). Usually I save a screen shot of questions for future reference but for some reason didn't the last time.

Don't forget censorist. Can you quote that so he sees it?

[BDKJMU]

Economic Axix: Capitalist (75.6% Capitalist/24.4% Equality)
Diplomatic Axis: Nationalist (80.9% Nationalist/19.1% World)
Civil Axis: Moderate (42.3% Liberty/57.7% Authority)
Societal Axis: Traditional (79.8% Tradition/20.2% Progress)

Closest Match: Neo Conservative.
I’m calling BS on that because I don’t believe we should be the world’s policeman.

The 1st test shows this board leans left of center..

Both tests suck, IMO. It's a gray world and there are a lot of caveats along with almost every answer. I'm sure my "agree" or "disagree" has a different meaning than someone else's same answer.

We're almost exactly the same except economics. Not a shocker, and I agree with Flaggy's post. I like market solutions when possible but they need to be balanced with some degree of regulation. I haven't been convinced yet that true free markets are anything but utopic. The old football game without refs, sidelines, or goal posts.

[Skjellyfetti]

Here's mine from the last time the second one was posted

[89Hen]

Further validation of my middle position. Sorry kalm, Cleets and any of you commie lefties that think you're balanced. I'm the fuzzy middle.

Economic Axis: Centrist - 42.7% Equality / 57.3% Markets

Diplomatic Axis: Balanced - 52.7% Nation / 47.3% World

Civil Axis: Moderate - 52.3% Liberty / 47.7% Authority

Societal Axis: Neutral - 48.9% Tradition / 51.1% Progress

Closest Match: Centrist

I agree with Flaggy as well. We don't disagree on the need for some regulation it's a question of how much. Agencies like the EPA and OSHA are necessary but in my opinion they reach a point of diminishing returns. Rather than stopping and sticking to their core mission, they keep pushing regulations in order to justify their existence and grow their influence/workforce. We also probably have slightly different definitions of free markets - a market that is dominated by a monopoly is not a free market to me.

Nope. I agree completely with everything you've stated here. And to prove my free market bonafides, government can be the biggest monopoly of all.

Huh. Never would have predicted a government agency would do something like that. Strange...

Meh, I wouldn't go that far, although probably true in some cases.
The problems with some regulations are;
1. unintended consequences, and
2. the inability to assess risk vs. reward properly, or at least without bias.

[Ivytalk]

Since everybody except Treep is apparently within two fat pubes of each other on both axes, the Poli Board is a giant echo chamber. Shut the fvcker down.

[SeattleGriz]

Perfectly in the middle.

[houndawg]

The American center and Democrats are regressive or conservatives.

Look at all the conservative garbage that the Dems have put up in the primary

Even European conservatives joke at how conservative our "left" actually is. This nation is so far behind other developed nations that we think people like Warren and Sanders are actually "far left". And our right are just extremists at this point.

And yet we rule the world. Exactly how are we “behind” them?

I wonder how “developed” they’d be if we told them tomorrow they were now responsible for their own defense and protection. No more help from the America that they apparently hate (and that you hate).

Not like we used to, nope.


They don't hate America, they hate Donald Trump. Just like us.

[houndawg]

The 1st test shows this board leans left of center..

Thats just reality's liberal bias
