That's right! ;)

I just took the Political Compass test again, and for the first time ever I have been placed on the Right side of the chart.

Economic Left/Right: 0.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.00

It's also the most socially libertarian score I've ever got. So I'm officially a libertarian now, apparently.

Flame away.

PS, Don't tell me how you think this test is untrustworthy. Being libertarian is fun.

Why sterilize them? Why not just go right to lethal injection? Then, when you're done with the mentally ill, you can go after smokers, drug abusers, fat people, diabetics, people with family histories of heart disease and cancer. Think of the money you'll save. Come to think of it short and tall people don't really "fit in" sometimes either. Waste 'em. All us perfect people remaining will be rolling in wealth.

Unfortunately, we'll all suck, because that's what mean people do.

Umm, are you sure you posted in the right topic? I think you meant for this to be in the thread on psychological disorders.

2. A declaration made to explain or justify action, decision, or conviction: inquired about her reason for leaving.
3. An underlying fact or cause that provides logical sense for a premise or occurrence: There is reason to believe that the accused did not commit this crime.

I'd love to continue the argument but I'm going to be gone for about two hours. Get the last word in and consider yourself the winner.

Both times I took one of these tests, it listed me as a libertarian. I've never affiliated myself with any political title. Not too much into politics.. but what's the problem people have with libertarains? They aren't liberals. From what I get they are just more for not wanting the govn't to have so much control over everything. How could that be bad. :rolleyes:


Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.18

Some questions I might would answer differently, if I had had examples of exactly what they meant. Needed more specifics.. but still came out a libertarian.

I've actually moved farther into the light. Since being on NS I've gone from:

Eco -7.12
Soc -5.54

To:
Eco -8.00
Soc -6.77

I've been happily corrupted. :D

(That looks quite like my own result. Actually, it looks more like my results used to be, when I was about -6 on the economic side and -4 on the libertarian/authoritarian side. I've gotten more libertarian since then and I am now -6.38 and -5.90.)

which i suppose makes me a wishy-washy anarcho-syndicalist. Which is accurate enough :)
