decided to take the political compass test again just for fun.
it's over rightie bros.
i suspect it's due to my disdain for (((the rich))) and (((authority))) that's been growing steadily since the last time i took this, which was before i joined fedi.
maybe i keep this in my back pocket to whip out whenever someone calls me right wing :meru_lul:

Ok, this test put me back exactly, where I expect to be.

@beardalaxy Don't you dare call me the enlightened C-word...

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy politicalcompass.org sucks massively though. Half the questions don't even make sense or are questions like "It's a good thing when corporations fuck you in the ass", and then none of the results make sense
Sapply compass is the sanest one I've seen, probably because it doesn't conflate economics and progressive/traditional

Progressive? WTF?
:meru_mewwuluv: b e a r d
@LukeAlmighty @Indigo @applejack nah that makes sense, the progressive movement is actually very focused on liberty. it just doesn't come across very well because a lot of those social justice types aren't genuine about it, they want liberty for themselves but not for anybody else. if the test included a question that was like "i want my ideological enemies to have less rights" or something then you would see a lot of those people no longer being aligned with true liberty.

> Bodily autonomy
I agree with that thing.... But I don't agree with what progressives mean by that :D

@LukeAlmighty @Indigo @applejack i pretty much draw the line when it comes to kids.
:meru_mewwuluv: b e a r d
@Indigo @applejack @LukeAlmighty yeah stuff like that is why i'm not further on the progressive scale probably. i'm legally pro-choice but not morally. i think adults should be able to do whatever they want to themselves and with each other, but only as long as it isn't in public and doesn't introduce some legitimate safety concerns (for instance, smoking indoors or drinking and driving). i also think that treating things that aren't normal as if they were is really psychologically damaging, for instance being trans is way more trendy than it ought to be and i think it really fucks people over. i view that sort of thing from a very humanist angle, rather than one of raw freedom. i'll acknowledge people's right to do what they want, but that doesn't mean i have to support it in any way. people don't always know exactly what is actually best for them, and that goes 100x more for children.
