@quietlitany There’s no tradition of social equality, so now I know this is skewed.

@bijouxbroussard Yea it was the most 'normal' or 'neutral' one I could find. Most had a lot of insulting terminology.

They call me conservative even though my beliefs line up with what used to be called liberal, probably because I hate the new left. Bunch of morons.
Xuan12 · 31-35, M
lol, yeah, Libertarians can kind of go either way in American politics. I haven't taken this test, but if I had to guess I'd be somewhat libertarian as well.

@Xuan12 BUDDY!
Xuan12 · 31-35, M
@quietlitany I just remembered too, it's a little funny. I often refer to myself as a conservative, because when i was growing up conservatism was different apparently. In the US I'm considered a leftist though. XD
Most other modern democracies do consider me a conservative however. And in comparison, we don't even have actual leftists here in the States.

@Xuan12 The names and platforms will change with time and region. That's why I always say Principle > Party

That's right where I am on the political compass and people try to call me a republican. Just can't win sometimes.

@getmeouttahere I feel your pain

Question - isn't "left libertarian" different from "anarchist"?
quietlitany · 36-40, M
@RemovedUsername8862 That would be the Right Libertarian as it moves away from social and more towards individual. I believe Left Libertarian would be Hippies.
RemovedUsername8862 · 26-30, M
@quietlitany Okay, I've seen people using that same compass, and they generally seemed to call "right libertarians" Libertarians and "left libertarians" Anarchists. I wonder what the original author of the test called the results.
quietlitany · 36-40, M
@RemovedUsername8862 Not sure, I just know the left tends to be about community and the right is individualism. Both hippies and anarchists want little to no gov't, they just see how they should interact with one another very differently, but I agree. I didn't look to hard for the solid map. I posted a crappy, but neutral one around here.

I got left libertarian too.. heh i match Gandhi

But neo-liberalism is the technical term for modern conservativism, especially non-social conservativism that has a focus on free market economics and national policy focus.
quietlitany · 36-40, M
@RemovedUsername8862 That's why I provided the compass too. Neolibs are corporate-friendly Liberals.
RemovedUsername8862 · 26-30, M
@quietlitany Ah, I see.

I just stare at those graphs not knowing what the hell it means when our political system is clearly built on a 2 party system.

@Mondayschild What are the eight values?
There are four independent axes - Economic, Diplomatic, State, and Society - and each has two opposing values assigned to them. They are:
Equality (Economic)
Those with higher Equality scores believe the economy should distribute value evenly among the populace. They tend to support progressive tax codes, social programs, and at high values, socialism.
Markets (Economic)
Those with higher Market scores believe the economy should be focused on rapid growth. They tend to support lower taxes, privatization, deregulation, and at high values, laissez-faire capitalism.
Nation (Diplomatic)
Those with higher Nation scores are patriotic and nationalist. They often believe in an aggressive foreign policy, valuing the military, strength, sovereignty, and at high values, territorial expansion.
Globe (Diplomatic)
Those with higher Globe scores are cosmopolitan and globalist. They often believe in a peaceful foreign policy, emphasizing diplomacy, cooperation, integration, and at high values, a world government.
Liberty (State)
Those with higher Liberty scores believe in strong civil liberties. They tend to support democracy and oppose state intervention in personal lives. Note that this refers to civil liberties, not economic liberties.
Authority (State)
Those with higher Authority scores believe in strong state power. They tend to support state intervention in personal lives, government surveillance, and at high values, censorship or autocracy.
Tradition (Society)
Those with higher Tradition scores believe in traditional values and strict adherence to a moral code. Though not always, they are usually religious, and support the status quo or the status quo ante.
Progress (Society)
Those with higher Progress scores believe in social change and rationality. Though not always, they are usually secular or atheist, and support environmental action and scientific or technological research.

Where are the tests?
getmeouttahere · 36-40, F
@HoraceGreenley just Google political compass test for the first one.
quietlitany · 36-40, M
@HoraceGreenley I added the links anyways, since people keep asking :)
sighmeupforthat · 46-50, M
seriously, labellists.
quietlitany · 36-40, M
@sighmeupforthat It's better than being called something I know I'm not.

By that first test, I’m also a left Libertarian. Wonder why we disagree so much ?
quietlitany · 36-40, M
@PinkPowerRanger There's exceptions to everything, this is why I hate true/false lol
Xuan12 · 31-35, M
@quietlitany I could see that. I often say neutral, because questions are presented without contexts. Like how pandora pointed out, I can think the death penalty is appropriate in some extreme cases, but not others. That can't really be expressed by agree/disagree.
bijouxbroussard · F
@quietlitany By the second test my closest match was Social Liberalism. No surprise there. 😅
