The standard left ideas include strong support for social equality (women, gays, minorities) and pro government intervention in the market

2018-08-16 19:29:31 UTC  

Their foreign policy views have become too divided to say what the middle ground is

2018-08-16 19:30:24 UTC  

Standard right ideas include strong support for individuals and government intervention only when necessary

2018-08-16 19:31:17 UTC  

Again, foreign policy is far too split to say what the middle ground is, although many seem more willing to antagonize allies than previous years

2018-08-16 19:32:17 UTC  

The right is currently pro protectionism, and the alt right is anti individual and pro welfare state

2018-08-16 19:32:26 UTC  

XD that grease snoop mashup XD so great

2018-08-16 19:32:35 UTC  

You guys.

2018-08-16 19:32:43 UTC  

I think i've met my match

2018-08-16 19:32:47 UTC  

For my sick backflips I mean

2018-08-16 19:32:49 UTC  

Neolibs are for a largely corporate driven market so that taxes collected can be dropped down to the lower class to support them

2018-08-16 19:38:32 UTC  

The "right" and "left" as we understand them are a collection of tribes that have decided (sometimes arbitrarily) that one set of tribes is closer to their position than the other

2018-08-16 19:39:37 UTC  

yeah i dunno why im right, i just blindly believe the political tests i take

2018-08-16 19:40:28 UTC  

Whereas Libertarian describes a position that exists regardless of context, "Right Wing" describes a relative position, and not even one necessarily based on concrete factors

2018-08-16 19:40:51 UTC  

I think the tests are kinda fun in a time killing way

2018-08-16 19:41:06 UTC  

And at least a test will be based off of standard criteria

2018-08-16 19:42:20 UTC  

most of them are really stupid since the questions are framed af

2018-08-16 19:43:03 UTC  

I think the framing isn't really that much of a problem

2018-08-16 19:43:04 UTC  

Who Framed The Questions

2018-08-16 19:43:17 UTC  

Since your political viewpoint will play off of that

2018-08-16 19:43:37 UTC  

it is to the anarchist when the question is if you want a national government or global government and what issues you would like to solve by using coercion

2018-08-16 19:43:57 UTC  

Like I read the questions differently now than I did when I was more of a moderate

2018-08-16 19:44:15 UTC  

The answer is a national government, if you're ancap. You can't unfuck a global government

2018-08-16 19:44:34 UTC  

If you're ancommie who knows, it doesn't make sense anyway

2018-08-16 19:44:43 UTC  

which means i have to answer by using lies

2018-08-16 19:44:54 UTC  

It's not a lie

2018-08-16 19:45:09 UTC  

One of the main problems with most political tests is that the no opinion option contributes to your overall score

2018-08-16 19:45:22 UTC  

Between a national and global government, a national government is preferable from an ancap standpoint

2018-08-16 19:45:40 UTC  

The lowest possible level of government is best

2018-08-16 19:46:00 UTC  

Yes.

2018-08-16 19:46:05 UTC  

If your goal is 0, a 4 is better than a 15

2018-08-16 19:46:09 UTC  

Beemann is right even though they'll be wrong later.

2018-08-16 19:46:20 UTC  

I will be your sherpa on this journey to the truth.

2018-08-16 19:46:27 UTC  

If you see Beemann arguing with me, they're wrong.

2018-08-16 19:47:02 UTC  

well its like saying do you want to rape a million babies or a thousand babies, and the anarchist position would be a thousand babies because thats preferable

2018-08-16 19:47:04 UTC  

its stupid

2018-08-16 19:47:20 UTC  

It's a value proposition, would you rather

2018-08-16 19:47:21 UTC  

Hrmm..

2018-08-16 19:47:38 UTC  

I would rather that fewer babies got raped

2018-08-16 19:47:44 UTC  
2018-08-16 19:47:47 UTC  

I don't think that's a hard sell

2018-08-16 19:47:47 UTC  

Well, which babies
