How so

2018-06-29 07:15:26 UTC  

I'm a right winger, but I don't believe that the economy should serve anyone or anyone

2018-06-29 07:15:29 UTC  

it'll shift you along the economic left/right axis

2018-06-29 07:15:30 UTC  

just leave it alone.

2018-06-29 07:15:44 UTC  

True

2018-06-29 07:15:47 UTC  

yeah but the "right wing" answer isn't something I believe in

2018-06-29 07:15:57 UTC  

Do it tho

2018-06-29 07:16:17 UTC  

so you'll have to go with the non-strongly answer then, since there's no neutral answer iirc

2018-06-29 07:19:00 UTC  

I forgot how dumb this thing was.

2018-06-29 07:19:30 UTC  

it's had little to no revision over the years, afaik

2018-06-29 07:20:08 UTC  

there are some pretty glaring "mistakes", from a methodology of social science perspective

2018-06-29 07:20:13 UTC  

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".

2018-06-29 07:22:33 UTC  

howdy f9olks

2018-06-29 07:25:24 UTC  

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

2018-06-29 07:25:50 UTC  

and it's set up as being the opposite of conservatism/traditionalism

2018-06-29 07:27:58 UTC  

it's hard to take all nuances into account, when only operating with the two axes that the political compass test uses

**Ivath#7132** was cleansed from the server.

2018-06-29 07:29:40 UTC  

The political compass test isn't about progressivism or conservatism, though

2018-06-29 07:29:47 UTC  

It has four axes

2018-06-29 07:29:58 UTC  

ya'll a bunch of commies.

2018-06-29 07:30:12 UTC  

Left/right, and libertarian/authoritarian

2018-06-29 07:30:31 UTC  

I can't seem to be able post images.

2018-06-29 07:30:31 UTC  

I'm centre left, classical liberal™

2018-06-29 07:30:42 UTC  

@AiarUther you need to become level 8

2018-06-29 07:30:46 UTC

2018-06-29 07:30:58 UTC  

so you're saying I need to level up?

2018-06-29 07:31:17 UTC  

Economic Left/Right: 6.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.28

2018-06-29 07:31:40 UTC  

Hippity fucking hoppity.

2018-06-29 07:33:07 UTC  

that test really needs to be re-worded

2018-06-29 07:33:17 UTC  

the compass test?

2018-06-29 07:33:21 UTC  

yeah

2018-06-29 07:33:30 UTC  

it's downright retarded

2018-06-29 07:33:43 UTC  

spend most the test looking up what its trying to say

2018-06-29 07:34:00 UTC  

I think it wants people to be left wing memetarian.

2018-06-29 07:34:22 UTC  

the problem with the test, is it does not take into account reasoning behind your choices

2018-06-29 07:34:31 UTC  

I enter after imbibing some booze
