God, I hate these things. Take the first question:

Quote :

"If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."

Disagreeing with this implies that you think globalization should primarily serve trans-national corporations. It gives you an either-or that basically forces you to pick whether you'd like to be a communist or a total laissez-faire guy.

Quote :

"I'd always support my country, whether it was right or wrong."

What the fuck? Countries aren't right or wrong. Their leadership can be, of course.

This was pretty much the dumbest thing ever. "Which Jonas Brother are you?" was a better use of my time.

Not being mean, but I think something is wrong with the survey if it lists moron as a libertarian.

8/21/2009 9:54:52 AM

^ i was wondering about that too.

It must only test for religious authoritarians or something...

8/21/2009 9:56:57 AM

Today, we are all libertarians.

8/21/2009 10:12:44 AM

moron,

Yah, that's what I'm thinking. I guess the good news is then that none of us appear be racists or bigots.

But I'm sure you're a lot of bloody socialists!

If you made it above the X-axis in this test you're a fascist. Fact.

He only gets a +4 for left/right since he believes corporate welfare and big gov't spending to fuel the Defence Industrial Complex trumps pure free market.

I'm a half square to the right, but I disagree with the test results

8/21/2009 10:33:21 AM

8/21/2009 10:46:02 AM

I'm just above the middle line, 6 squares to the right, but couldn't get the stupid thing to copy/paste. Oh well. It was a stupid test.

8/21/2009 10:46:31 AM

FUCK

They sunk my battleship

8/21/2009 10:51:50 AM

Pretty much exactly where I thought I'd be... maybe a bit more right than I thought but that is because I'm almost exclusively conservative when it comes to corporations/environment/social security and very left leaning when it comes to sexuality/religion/etc.

Which direction does this question swing the chart?

A "yes" must swing it upward.

8/21/2009 11:51:42 AM

I don't have an old version of this saved to compare to, but I think I have taken the test before. The only old political test I have from several years back still saved to compare to is this:

"NyM410: I'm almost exclusively conservative when it comes to ... environment"

Could you clarify what that means exactly? I am just curious.

i rarely answered strongly agree or disagree, but id say in reality Im more libertarian right

8/21/2009 2:31:22 PM

So far my fascist litmus test has been accurate.

"Could you clarify what that means exactly? I am just curious."

Sure, I don't want to get in to too much detail but the gist of it is that I believe that a clean and safer environment is mutually beneficial and that global warming is real but I don't agree with a lot of the regulations and interventions in place that I feel do not strike at the heart of the issue. I feel a lot of what he being pushed from the left on this particular issue is doing things for the sake of it...

If you really are interested on my views, just PM me so we don't clutter up this thread.

8/21/2009 3:12:52 PM

seems relatively accurate for me.

come on supplanter(no homo)...post were you took that one test

8/21/2009 3:27:15 PM

I bet hooksaw is afraid to post his results here, but will use this against someone in a future personal attack. (Mine looks like Hurley's)

8/21/2009 3:30:25 PM

lol, I've got to say I'm surprised.

"post were you took that one test"

First time back in this thread since I posted earlier. I have no idea where I took that test. I am certain I found it on TWW in a thread just like this sometime in the last 6 or 7 years, but I have no idea what site it was from. You could scour old threads to if you can find it, if posts going back that far are even still around.

8/21/2009 3:43:41 PM

oh i thought it was something you took today not a screenshot from a while ago

8/21/2009 3:47:14 PM

I just did some in quotes google searching using the terminology used on the result there & I found the test!

I took it again for kicks, it looks like I haven't moved all that much in the past few years:


(I did have to do a PrintScreen, paste it into mspaint, cut out the part of the page I wanted, & upload the image to tdub to share it since I couldn't find a way to copy image location directly)

If you answer Strongly Agree they dispatch people to your address to repeatedly hit you over the head with a club sell you time shares. magazines, and cook wear.

You can guess how I answered that one.

I am between Ghandi and Mandela...I like to go to there.

Supplanter, if you found the test then post a link.

8/21/2009 5:31:29 PM

The world is full of too many damn extremists, and they must be persecuted with love.

8/21/2009 5:32:53 PM

I don't like this chart:



It seems that while maintaining a set amount of economic permissiveness, you can move from being a socialist, to a Democrat, to a totalitarian, by becoming more socially permissive.

That makes no sense.

8/21/2009 5:35:51 PM

8/21/2009 6:36:31 PM

Quote :

"socialist, to a Democrat, to a totalitarian"

you got it backward by being more socially permissive you go from a totalitarian, democrat, to general socialist. This though assumes you believe in a high level of gov't interference in the economy.

8/21/2009 6:37:13 PM

Huh, I confused my axiis.

But does it make any more sense to go from socialist, to a Democrat, to a totalitarian for being more economically permissive?

How do you go from Democrat to totalitarian by being more permissive of anything?
