And I consider simple moderation a more central point than pushed to either side
That's why people don't like centrism
Because the statement is vague
Whenever I take a test on my political views I always end up near centrist or slightly right leaning
But yeah that would be a centrist position
yeah that's what I'm getting too @Xenoframe
I want to have a better understanding of politics so I lurk here whenever there are discussions about it going on <:PepeIntrastain:482328467829030961>
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.
If your views don't match the principle (in this case complete freedom vs complete "security") then you are somewhwere in the center.
I guess it depends on the topic for me
Most left leaning views I dont agree with
yeah but what does the gang weed empire have to say about it
I like pragmatism
@☦ Slouch ☦ legalize crystal weed
I hate pragmatism
ill be pragmatic to an extent
Not philosophically, but the manifestation of it.
but you gotta decide on what you will be pragmatic about
Pragmatism philosophically would by definition lead to the best results.
@Xenoframe what political test are you taking
I see where you're coming from with Pragmatism, fine by theory, terrible in execution, right?
But that is an empty statement. "pragmatism is the best because it's the best" is no guiding principle.
Hmm
Yes
My messages broke
is this some bs, somebody on wallstreetbets discord linked this
@Mord yes I was using compass because I was too lazy to take the 8values one
I will later tho
Its late
@Xenoframe take Politiscales.
compass is gay
^
it doesnt even measure social
8values is where I got centrist
8values listed me as an autocrat which is far from true
I was at 0.0 and 3 or something
Cant remember
In the middle and up a bit
Politiscales is pretty well rounded in the sense that it gives you a good perspective of where you're at on all aspects of politics
