!agree

Hello

So I just watched Timcast's video "Buzzfeed Writers Lie About Social Media Bias" and he mentioned a "Centrist Test." I googled up a test because I've never really thought about my political stance. To be honest, I think the test I took has some flaws, and, I didn't really understand some of the questions so I'm sure my results are inaccurate but here are my results:
Economic Left/Right: 2.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.56
Does anyone have a more reliable test that I might take?

(Numbers range from -10 to 10, left to right respectively)

lol

Taking it right now 😄

"The means of production should belong to the workers who use them." - does this refer to things like an electrician's toolbox or a paramedic's stethescope?

Oh I see...

Well that would lead to a very different answer than what I put lol

Okay what about this one

"Children should be educated in religious or traditional values." - I would want children to be educated in as many major religions and as many traditions as possible from a humanities / world history perspective. But I would not want a school saying children should believe x, y , or z as their personal religion.

so would that be an agree or a disagree?

Alright thanks. 😄 I have to take my wife to work, brb in about 20 minutes

back and I hate questions like this because it's so situational.

"We should open our borders to immigration."

I think a country that cannot support its current population does the world a disservice by accepting immigrants - and should probably be supporting emigration. On the other hand, a country of abundance should permit immigration.

So do I put agree or disagree? If I assume it is talking about today, right now, then I guess I have to put disagree because we cannot guarantee safety and a quality standard of living to immigrants with all of the civil unrest in the western region of the country, lack of opportunity in central-US, cost of living in north eastern US, and population growth in the south-eastern US. But that can all change in a matter of weeks... Maybe I should just put unsure...

Anyway... I scored "Centrist" (at least I think the Centrist is the score and not the subtitle)

I guess that's why I like Tim's channel so much 😄

Does that not already exist? I'm pretty ignorant on the subject.

Accusing anyone of hate is pretty dangerous thinking, in my opinion.

Well it's true, Hops, the average american can't because teaching american history is racist.

A wise man once said "those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." The fact that we opt to omit things from history books on the grounds that they are "offensive" or "whitewashed," I fear, will be detrimental to the next generation or the generation thereafter.

You're exactly right. I never thought we would live in a world where Carl Marx was taught as a prominent positive historical figure.

I wouldn't say it's quite that bad yet, Hops, but probably will be for future generations.

The recent collaborated denial of service by social medial companies has got a lot of people questioning the meaning of censorship and the consequences thereof.

what's 6teen?

Thanks for the conversation guys, I have to get going. Hope to speak with y'all again soon. <:domineHAI:424809654401499140>
