What salary would you guys call high coming out of uni

2018-10-06 05:28:13 UTC  

To stand on a viewpoint where, regarding the US, gun control is needed, but not needed to such an extent where we would start restricting the use of guns completely, as well as not having willy-nilly gun-toting anyones with the power to kill, where woudl that viewpoint be?

2018-10-06 05:28:20 UTC  

Like starting salary

2018-10-06 05:28:22 UTC  

I'd say it's a moderate decision, right?

2018-10-06 05:28:53 UTC  

And I consider simple moderation a more central point than pushed to either side

2018-10-06 05:28:53 UTC  

That's why people don't like centrism

2018-10-06 05:28:57 UTC  

Because the statement is vague

2018-10-06 05:29:35 UTC  

Whenever I take a test on my political views I always end up near centrist or slightly right leaning

2018-10-06 05:29:37 UTC  

But yeah that would be a centrist position

2018-10-06 05:29:46 UTC  

yeah that's what I'm getting too @Xenoframe

2018-10-06 05:30:10 UTC  

I want to have a better understanding of politics so I lurk here whenever there are discussions about it going on <:PepeIntrastain:482328467829030961>

2018-10-06 05:30:23 UTC  

When I think of Centrism, I prefer to think of it as simple moderation, not apathy. Unfortunately, its viewed as such because many Centrists ARE apathetic to most topics.

2018-10-06 05:30:36 UTC  

If your views don't match the principle (in this case complete freedom vs complete "security") then you are somewhwere in the center.

2018-10-06 05:31:06 UTC  

I guess it depends on the topic for me

2018-10-06 05:31:20 UTC  

Most left leaning views I dont agree with

2018-10-06 05:31:55 UTC  

yeah but what does the gang weed empire have to say about it

2018-10-06 05:31:57 UTC  

I like pragmatism

2018-10-06 05:32:02 UTC  

@☦ Slouch ☦ legalize crystal weed

2018-10-06 05:32:02 UTC  

I hate pragmatism

2018-10-06 05:32:09 UTC  

ill be pragmatic to an extent

2018-10-06 05:32:13 UTC  

Not philosophically, but the manifestation of it.

2018-10-06 05:32:20 UTC  

but you gotta decide on what you will be pragmatic about

2018-10-06 05:32:31 UTC  

Pragmatism philosophically would by definition lead to the best results.

2018-10-06 05:32:49 UTC  

@Xenoframe what political test are you taking

2018-10-06 05:33:16 UTC  

Political compass is not a very good one if that's what you're using

2018-10-06 05:33:17 UTC  

I see where you're coming from with Pragmatism, fine by theory, terrible in execution, right?

2018-10-06 05:33:24 UTC  

But that is an empty statement. "pragmatism is the best because it's the best" is no guiding principle.

2018-10-06 05:33:31 UTC  

Hmm

2018-10-06 05:33:32 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-06 05:33:38 UTC  

My messages broke

2018-10-06 05:33:46 UTC  

is this some bs, somebody on wallstreetbets discord linked this

2018-10-06 05:33:58 UTC  

@Mord yes I was using compass because I was too lazy to take the 8values one

2018-10-06 05:34:03 UTC  

I will later tho

2018-10-06 05:34:05 UTC  

Its late

2018-10-06 05:34:09 UTC  

@Xenoframe take Politiscales.

2018-10-06 05:34:18 UTC  

compass is gay

2018-10-06 05:34:22 UTC  

^

2018-10-06 05:34:22 UTC  

it doesnt even measure social

2018-10-06 05:34:33 UTC  

8values is where I got centrist

2018-10-06 05:34:49 UTC  

8values listed me as an autocrat which is far from true
