Another Quiz: The Political Compass. Politics can be a hot issue, do you dare share your results?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Ya played yaself.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Honestly I think the problem is that the questions are about politics from 10-12 years ago and don't really account for the rise of economic nationalists like Trump.

Like, I bet the protectionism question results in a left wing answer if you say you are in favour of it because the left was traditionally anti free trade.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Well, it's hardly conclusive. Just a bit of fun and maybe a source of reflection.

Also, the definitions are based on global ideas of left/right, which don't really align to the US left/right.

@CountScrofula These questions are definitely pre-trump. And they are also more global and not US-Centric. The middle of left/right is not between democrats and republicans (both tend to be in the top right, more often than not).

@ViciDraco Yeah exactly. I bet some telling questions about immigration would change things a lot.

Yeah. We like em legal 😁@CountScrofula

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout @CountScrofula The current issues aren't even really about legality, but misinformation.

It is impossible for an asylum seeker to enter the country illegally. We signed a treaty declaring it law that asylum seekers did not need to follow the normal legal procedures for immigration. Any way they get here is fine if they are legitimate asylum seekers.

Just like guns and drugs huh.. no way they get into the country?....

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout how tf did you get left ? Lol

I’m just as shocked as you :) last time I was right libertarian @Stark
