I guess I just saw it as a waste of time

2018-01-22 23:14:37 UTC  

I've only ever taken the political compass test, for the most part, and a couple of other online tests.

2018-01-22 23:14:54 UTC  

Taking the compass test two years in a row as put me in the exact same spot each time.

2018-01-22 23:15:06 UTC  

With a very minor shift.

2018-01-22 23:15:08 UTC  

ISideWith is the most accurate in my opinion.

2018-01-22 23:15:20 UTC  

I side with my ignorance

2018-01-22 23:15:25 UTC  

I don't like that one, actually.

2018-01-22 23:15:44 UTC  

Itโ€™s the only one that put me as republican.

2018-01-22 23:16:08 UTC  

Not only is it longer than I care for, but many of the questions either don't have an answer that I actually agree with, or are worded in such a way where I feel compelled to answer in one way or another without actually agreeing with that answer.

2018-01-22 23:16:16 UTC  

Political compass had me at extreme centrist.

2018-01-22 23:16:51 UTC  

In the end, whatever I am, I'd rather take a middle stance despite my beliefs, so as to create a platform upon which I can act as liason between the right and the left. To act as a voice of reason, and compromise. Fighting like this has really taken its toll, and anyone should be able to see what it's been doing to the current political sphere.

2018-01-22 23:17:00 UTC  

kek same. Almost dead center according to online political tests (because we all know those are super accurate)

2018-01-22 23:17:07 UTC  

I'd rather people in general just start working together

2018-01-22 23:17:07 UTC  

but

2018-01-22 23:17:45 UTC  

Humans are pretty irrational beings a lot of the time

2018-01-22 23:18:11 UTC  

I have my right wing bias but I can understand why the left and extreme right think the way they do so itโ€™s easy to debate them.

2018-01-22 23:18:21 UTC  

I wish people had more patience with eachother.

2018-01-22 23:18:25 UTC

2018-01-22 23:19:28 UTC  

Nowadays, it seems people are less willing to clash opinions towards the goal of _personal_ growth, and instead, go for a more _targeted_ approach. They'd much rather use people as sponges to absorb their ideologies, and dummies to yell at to feel superior.

2018-01-22 23:19:57 UTC  

When those sponges and dummies yell back, they don't know what to do except continue yelling

2018-01-22 23:20:02 UTC  

and it goes on and on and on and on

2018-01-22 23:20:40 UTC  

The cycle of ideological and moral idiocy.

2018-01-22 23:20:42 UTC  

Yeah I like debating anyone to improve my own views by either strengthening them or adapting them to encompass new facts.

2018-01-22 23:22:22 UTC  

I just try to avoid any debates tbh. I never been good creating counter-arguments within a split second and I'm mostly too lazy to source my claims. However, I still hold certain opinions because I atleast understand the basics of most social and political topics

2018-01-22 23:22:27 UTC  

Anyway, I seem to be socially liberal, but fiscally conservative.

2018-01-22 23:22:40 UTC  

I'm shit at verbal debates.

2018-01-22 23:23:06 UTC  

I'm a stumbling and stuttering dumbass when it comes to formulating my opinions under stress.

2018-01-22 23:23:08 UTC  

Yeah, I'm not good at actual debate, especially without preparation or if the topic changes to something I haven't researched.

2018-01-22 23:23:33 UTC  

oh my god..

2018-01-22 23:23:35 UTC  

yee, same here haha. If it's like a reddit thread or something similar, I have no problem standing my own ground.

2018-01-22 23:23:40 UTC  

@Enigmus you are in the r/yiff server too

2018-01-22 23:23:44 UTC  

hello fellow degenerate

2018-01-22 23:23:48 UTC

debating isnt about creating instant counter-arguments, debaters always come into a debate with prepared notes based on what they think the other person will argue.
