Re: Your Political Compass
Here's mine.
Economic Left/Right: -2.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.08

Most people's prior runs are now lost to the ether.
Thought these were interesting.
Looks like AZ has shifted left since 2018
So far, BDK appears to be the only one on the authoritarian spectrum here.

So, in closing: Suck it, treep. YOU are the outlier.

BTW, wouldn't the fact that Trip blocked me put him automatically on the top line of Authoritarian scale?

Marijuana legalisation would move you down the chart... not left on the chart. The other social issues likely would as well.
"Right" vs. "left" is economics. According to your chart, you've moved left on "redistributive" vs "free market" economics.

Re: Your Political Compass

about the 5th time I’ve taken this and for the first time I wound up significantly to the right. The last several times I took it I was closer to the center (slightly right) and much more libertarian
This time, I answered the questions by asking myself if there were foreseeable negative consequences or costs to the implementation of my desires. If the answer was yes, then I went with the softer agree or disagree, which pushed me to the right and just slightly more authoritarian. I didn’t change direction on any answer.
Which goes back to what I was talking about earlier - tests like this and polls typically do not dig deeply enough - I think Americans (myself included) tend to be much more charitable when costs or consequences are not in play

I was closest to dead center, just 2 notches above it. That kind of surprised me, thought I was more to the right.

You know, I don't think they asked the same questions they asked last time we went through this.Economic Left/Right: 0.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64
