Left-right scale is a weird mix of progressive-conservative and the preferred height of the social safety net. They don't necessarily go together and it's completely fair to have the opinion that "the choice between a progressive or conservative solution to any issue should be informed by science and reason rather than default preferences".
howdy f9olks
I usually see the science and reason approach lumped in with progressivism, in attempts at measuring political affiliation, which from the way I understand progressivism (not the modern American take) makes at least a modicum of sense
and it's set up as being the opposite of conservatism/traditionalism
it's hard to take all nuances into account, when only operating with the two axes that the political compass test uses

The political compass test isn't about progressivism or conservatism, though
It has four axes
ya'll a bunch of commies.
Left/right, and libertarian/authoritarian
I can't seem to be able post images.
I'm centre left, classical liberal™
@AiarUther you need to become level 8
ah.
!rank @AiarUther
and i get called alt right and racist
so you're saying I need to level up?
Hippity fucking hoppity.
that test really needs to be re-worded
the compass test?
yeah
it's downright retarded
spend most the test looking up what its trying to say
I think it wants people to be left wing memetarian.
the problem with the test, is it does not take into account reasoning behind your choices
I enter after imbibing some booze
just because its a political test doesnt mean it needs to be written snottily
Shadilay, my dudes
I mean you can be a libertarian and racist. But I bet the "R U recist?" questions give someone an authoritarian score.
"do you believe races are unequal?"
yes, those obviously do not shift you along the economic axis
What does that have to do with anything.

the thing is that question is so open unded
you could belive they are but think its bad
or belive they are and think its good
and again, you could be a total racist who can't stand the sight of black people, but still want the government to REEEEE off.
